Description

Drifter is 15.1hh 6yo gelding. Drifter was slow to trust but has started thriving in his new human world. I have no doubt that he will bond and trust with a new owner. Drifter has been competing on ranch horse shows for the last 6 weeks and is used to the show environment though he does love going out on trails.  He needs a confident rider. While Drifter is safe to ride, and I have no doubt he will be a horse anyone can ride one day, at this time he needs someone that doesn’t panic if he gets nervous. He is still learning about all the new things in the human world so occasionally he is uncertain about something (like seeing his reflection in a window or our chrome horse trailer) and he needs someone to just stay calm and move him along with reassurance. I have no doubt he will not always act that way, he is simply a green horse at this time.  I suggest continuing his training as soon as you get him as he makes daily progress and learns quickly and seems to enjoy being ridden. I truly believe Drifter will be able to go in any direction and make someone a solid mount sooner than later. The confines of time of this event were just a little too short for him so continuing his training will help him greatly. He loves being on trails and does well with obstacles.   Drifter has been hauled a lot and will continue to be hauled and introduced to more people and horses and environments. We even rode in the warm up pen of calf ropers on his 9th ride and competed in his first show that was in a pasture on his 11th ride! He really enjoys his baths and pampering. He is super safe to load and tie and will turn around or back out of a trailer. He does all the things in hand on the ground like pivots and sidepassing and ANY obstacles. Riding he adapts quickly to obstacles and can drag and carry objects and crosses delicately over ground poles! He has had his feet trimmed twice.  Has had his dental work done.  At this time he is located in Cleburne, TX and I am open to adopting him out before the competition, otherwise he will be available via auction in TN at the Mustang Spectacular in June.
