He’s 6 years old, broke but hasn’t been ridden a lot in the last year or so. He walks, trots, canters w/o bucking. Backs. Stops. All with a snaffle bit. Its not just what she said I did ride him this evening.

He is registerable paint, I believe, but she doesn’t have the papers and to track them down would be more work then its worth being he’s a gelding and I only trailride. You can see his little tiny white spot on his right side that gives him the right to be called colored. lol. He’s a red dun. About 15.1 or so-I didn’t measure just a guess.

He is UTD on everything but farrier work. I had my farrier come out with me tonight and she said feet are a little flat but not too bad and otherwise in good condition.

He stand quietly tied, accepts fly spray, saddles up easily, easy to handle with feet. Comes running for attention.
He has been professionally trained and the owner now is a trainer but focusing her time on her unbroke ones rather then the rideable ones.
The horse market up here (wisconsin) is varying. Quarter horses and paints-especially the duns, buckskins, and palominos are hot, hot, hot. And just having a horse you can get on and isn’t going to throw you is hard to find (not muchis actually trained)
