Medicine Man has worked at a camp for
about 12 years as a trail and lesson
horse. He has had literally hundreds of
beginner youth (as young as 7) and
adults on him with NO record of kicking,
biting, bucking, bolting, rearing, etc.
In the last few years he has begun
grazing on trails when ridden by young
kids. They are unable to pull his head
up and get him going again. We have not
had this problem with older/more
experienced kids or adults. Since many
of our riders are younger kids, we want
to find him a home where he can be
enjoyed by an older youth or adult for
trails or just for fun.
Medicine
Man is a Fox Trotter cross, but I don't
know what the other half is. He is not
gaited, but he does have very smooth
gaits. He is a very friendly guy who is
typically easy to catch, middle to top
of the pecking order (but not aggressive
to other horses), and is easy to vet and
shoe. He wears shoes on the front. He
keeps weight on well through the winter
on grass hay and minimal amounts of
feed. He does NOT act like an old horse
- he enjoys working and has enough
energy to trail ride all day, but still
is not a hothead. I could see him
working very well for an adult with
minimal experience wanting a dependable
trail horse, or for an older youth
moving up from a pony.
Come try
him out on our trails or in our indoor
arena.
