Standardbred gelding

Smokey

16hh 17yo standardbred gelding

Super quite chill dude has way more woah than go, was bought for my partner to learn the basics on but is not suited to a complete beginner as he is a little green himself. Very sweet smoochy boy, is more than happy to stand there and soak up all the pats and attention anyone gives him.

More of a plod along type of horse, has mainly been used as a pleasure/trail horse or with previous owner was mainly used as a pack horse so experience with flat work is basic. Walks and trots nicely, canter hasn’t been attempted purely because I haven’t had the time to put into him. Can be ridden bareback in a halter.

Can be left in the paddock without having anything done with him and will behave like he was only just ridden yesterday, no lunging or pre work required just a get on and go type

Videos were taken first ride back after about a 3-4week break

Good with cars and other traffic, bikes, machinery, dogs, paddocks with other horses well, is always the least dominant.

Absolutely no bite, bolt or buck

Good ground manners, easy to catch, saddle, tie up, clean feet, and do absolutely anything with.

Floats well but experience isn’t extensive. Has been floated alone or with other horses and on long trips and haven’t had any dramas. Walks straight onto the float with no hesitation.

Although he has had a complete beginner riding him I wouldn’t sell him as a beginners horse as he is still quite green for his age and will require an experienced rider

Will come with custom bridle, bit and rugs

Can send more of him being ridden on request

$2.500
