Percheron Morgan X Gelding

He has a lot of things going for him. He has experience with driving, trails, the arena, the ranch, and the obstacle course. He is a jack of all trades. Just check his video out for yourself. He’s impressive for a horse his age, and he has all of his life ahead of him because he is young. He can go in any direction you want to point him. Plus, he’s a nice stout size enough to carry a taller or heavier rider yet not overly big for a shorter person like me. He currently stands at 15 hands, and we expect him to finish growing at 15.1-15.2 hands tall. For driving, he stands still to get on/off the cart, use stop signs, and hitch/unhitch. He doesn’t care about traffic. He’s had big semis go by, and it does not bother him. Knows the commands back, whoa, easy, walk on, and trot. As long as you know how to drive, you’ll love him. Because he is still young, I would say he needs someone who knows how to drive already, not someone who is learning. However, after he has some more miles under a harness, I would say he’ll eventually make a good lesson-driving horse. He was started under harness last spring, and he’s quiet enough that he’s been taken down some busy highways with a lot of heavy traffic and some big trucks, and he’s always been excellent and did everything he was asked of. He also has a lot of experience riding there. He’s been ranched with, so he knows how to cut a calf alone. You can rope off of him and hold a cow. Open gates off of his back; he’s very used to the ranch lifestyle. He’s very desensitized to the rope. As you’ll see in the video, it doesn’t bother him one bit if it gets wrapped around his legs or under his tail. He does NOT spook easily; he’s had a lot of desensitizing, and he’s just a naturally smart horse with a lot of confidence. He’s the perfect type of horse for a beginner roper like me, and he practically does all of the work independently. He’s just that good that he knows his job, and he does it, so he’s perfect for someone who wants to have some fun roping or learning to rope. He could do a lot better job at cutting and roping than what you’ll see in the video if he had someone more experienced on his back than me. He’s also used to getting roped himself. He lets me practice throwing the lasso around his head, and he’ll stand there and let me practice on him. He has ponied other horses as well as being ponied himself. He knows how to hobble, so you can go camping and hobble him at camp when you’re done riding. He is very good on the leg cues and his neck reining. Knows how to move off the leg, hindquarters, shoulders, side passing, and stopping off your seat. Has a good backup. As you’ll see in the video, He rides off the legs and seat well enough that you can ride without a bridle. He’s great out on the trails and will cross anything you ask: creeks, rivers, logs, bridges, etc. He’s used to having a doggy friend running around his legs and doesn’t care much about wildlife. He rides away from home alone and rides well with other horses. He can go front, back, or middle. He has good ground manners and stands excellent for the Ferrier, tacking, grooming, and mounting. He knows the come-over cue, so he will side pass over to any mounting block or gate or anything you use as a mounting block. He has a friendly/playful/smart personality. He is a perfect cross between the two breeds. He gets that quiet, gentle demeanor from the Percheron, yet he still has some playfulness and the super-friendly attitude of a Morgan. He’s smart like the Morgan, too, because he easily catches onto new things. (Read More on Thehorsebay.com) OPEN BIDDING ON THEHORSEBAY.COM ENDS ON 1/29 @ 3:15 PM CT.
