Solomon is from excellent show bloodlines. He is a very sweet boy who loves attention and has a gentle, loving personality. He comes running to the gate when he sees people. We have had him since birth - he was imprinted at birth and trained by a professional 'natural horseman' at the age of 3 1/2. He has been given excellent care and has never had any health issues. He is very strong, sound and healthy. My plans were to do endurance riding with him- and he would be great at it!
He is at the perfect age to do great in any discipline. He has gone on several trail rides and loves to go. He is smart, willing and surefooted. We went through woods, steep rocky terrain, wet, muddy trails and he didn't refuse anything (except needs practice going through water--we have only tried it a few times and it takes him a minute- but he eventually goes.)
His conformation is nearly perfect.... He has perfect straight legs, strong feet, a very nice wide chest, gorgeous dished face and large build. His big dark eyes melt your heart and his gorgeous arched neck is breathtaking. He has a very smooth canter and beautiful floating trot.
I do not lounge or 'relax' him before mounting. He is used to being taken straight from pasture, saddled and mounted. He stands still for mounting and moves off leg pressure very well. He opens gates, backs and stands good. He is sensitive to pressure and listens to cues very well.
He loads, clips, baths, and stands for farrier good. He is gentle and loving to all other animals. He walks great behind a 4-wheeler and is good with vehicles passing him.
Intermediate or experienced rider recommended.
