OPEN BIDDING ON THEHORSEBAY.COM ENDS ON 10/2 @ 5:00 PM CT. More information is available on the website, including an UTD vet inspection, Coggins, video, images, and the owner's contact information to ask questions, request information, or make arrangements to come to visit. SAFE, SOUND, SWEET, and STUNNING! If you’re looking for a horse that your husband and grandmother can ride or who will build up your confidence, flashy enough to win in a show ring, and calm enough to take out on the trails, this is your horse. What stands out most about “The Dixie Bouncer” is his personality: I have never met a horse whose character so resembled an old Labrador Retriever. He is an “in your pocket” type of horse who wants to be friends with everyone. He loves to cuddle and seems delighted to have you hug and hang off of him. Moreover, NOTHING seems to bother him. Having worked 15 years in the horse industry, I never thought I’d be advertising a 7-year-old as a confident beginner horse, but this guy breaks the rules. I think he’s safer to ride and handle than the other horses in our herd who are 2x his age: he is so kind, gentle, and unflappable. He’ll move out when asked, but his preferred pace is to smell the roses, appreciate the views, and stop for a picnic. He’ll be a once-in-a-lifetime horse, the horse that you can trust with anything and anyone. The Dixie Bouncer (aka “Bouncer ”) is a 7-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse. He currently stands 14.3hh. He is very good under saddle: he is responsive to cues, not spooky, rides in a snaffle shank, and stands to be mounted. He’ll go out alone and has been on many different trails. We don’t believe in pushing young horses, so his training has mostly focused on giving him good experiences in a relaxed environment to teach him confidence and obedience and to enjoy his job. Thus, he’s a very solid and willing horse who thinks doing things with people is fun. If you want a trail horse, he has all the fundamentals. If you want a show horse, it’ll be easy to transition in that direction, as he’s already soft and responsive. He trailers, bathes, clips, and ties…anything we can think to do with him, he’s happy to cooperate with. The one “fault” he has is being alone in a trailer. He doesn’t particularly like that and will paw when in the trailer. Don’t miss out on a rare once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own such a magnificent horse.
