Captain is the whole
package, with looks and a personality
to match!
He has a gorgeous creamy
buckskin coloring (dappled during
shedding season) which always places
him in the center of attention where
ever we go. He is a real eye-catcher
and he always gets plenty of
compliments.
He has the
conformation of a TB, but the brain of
a QH... you couldn't ask for a better
combination! He is nice and tall,
standing at 16.2H, he is fairly narrow
right now, but he is starting to fill
out and with more work he will build up
with more muscle.
Also, he has never
had any serious injuries that could
possibly be reoccuring and he has nice,
clean legs.
I am offering him
for sale or lease only because I have a
1 year old daughter and I have been
finding it harder and harder to make
time to devote to Captain. I don't have
the time to work him like I used to,
and when I do find time to ride, it's
usually just enough time for a short
road-ride. He has just been wasting
away in the pasture and thats not fair
to him.
We have always joked
that he thinks he's a dog; he is very
affectionate and would curl up in your
lap if he could.
He enjoys one on
one attention, and loves doing ground
work so he can have that face to face
interaction.
He is very eager to
please, is a fast learner and he loves
being taught new things.
Captain is
a very nice mover; I have used him as a
hunter/dressage horse in the past, only
showed him once and he did very well,
but I have realized he is happiest as a
trail horse and I feel that is what he
would be best at.
I have jumped him
a few times, but have not found the
time to fully train him as a jumper...
but he seemed to enjoy it the small
amount that he has done.
A
little bit of background on
Captain:
He was a PMU foal, and was
rescued by an adoption facility in
which I adopted him from as a yearling.
I have been his only owner (besides the
woman I adopted him from as a
yearling). I have owned and loved
Captain for the past 5 years, teaching
him and training him in a very
compassionate way. I waited until long
after his knees were closed (at about
3.5 y/o) to mount him for the first
time, and took his early training very
very slowly to instill good strong
basics in him and to take it easy on
his young growing body and
mind.
Over the past 3 years (from
the time I started his training) I have
jumped from job to job, became
pregnant, had a child and have been
doing a balancing act with him in
between it all. I would still consider
him a little green because his
discipline training has been on
again/off again for the past 3 years,
but he has strong basics and has them
down pat.
Captain needs a
quiet and patient rider, one who will
not push him too hard and will take
things at a nice slow pace with him. He
is a quick learner, but he does get
easily frustrated if he does not
understand what is being asked.
He
would do best with an adult rider (18
or older) and would be best fit for a
"backyard" type of environment compared
to a busy boarding facility. He enjoys
going out on the trails and I have even
taken him out alone on the quiet dirt
roads near our barn.
Captain has
the "doggy" personality that does best
with a laid-back, easy going, "lets
play" type of lifestyle vs a "lets
train and compete" type of
lifestyle.
He currently is not
registered, but he is qualified to be
registered with the ABRA... I just
never got around to doing the
paper-work.
