*Price Neg to right home/people! Will, however, be increasing with show experience
Atlas is one of the quietest horses I've ever worked with. He is an unraced 4 year old TB gelding. He started jumping about March of 2009 and is right now quietly schooling 2'3 courses. He went to his very first show in July 2009 and got thirds in the 2' Maiden Hunter Division over fences and first in under saddle at the Northwest Arkansas Hunter Jumper Association's Summer Classic.
He can now pick up both canter leads from the walk and we have started the groundwork for lead changes.
We plan on showing at the NWAHJA association's show on November 14 and 15th, and his first 'A' show this December at the Holiday Classic in Guthrie Oklahoma. Look for show video to come!
This horse truly is unflappable, he loads and travels very easy - I have to haul down the road for lessons, and I trailer him to my friends farms all around the area. He is VERY quiet. At the show in July he happily stood tied to the trailer munching hay unattended at various points throughout the day.
This horse is very big-boned and heavy-muscled, he looks beautiful with a great eye and expression, he is over 17H tall and will make such a superb children or amateur horse in the near future.
I am 21 and an amateur rider, I find him easy and uncomplicated to ride, and he's definitely been sweet and saved my butt a few times, he is advancing in his training and will be a VERY fancy horse in the very near future. I don't recommend him for a beginner rider, but a more experienced kid or adult will have a lot of fun and win lots of ribbons on him. He is very green, still, but, like I said, very nice - I personally have a hard time remembering he's only four! He has a wonderful disposition and work ethic.
stands, ties, loads, etc.
Come see him!
questions welcome,
price is negotiable right now, I'm in my senior year of college, but after the show in December his price will go up - believe me - a horse this nice doesn't stay for sale for long.
