Smurf is a VERY stout built Blanketed Appaloosa Gelding, standing a solid 15.1hh, weighing 1300lbs, he is 7 years old and certainly is a once in a lifetime type horse! Smurf has been in my natural horsemanship program and has been trained to sidepass over to a mounting block, he wiill bow down, he is very good at laying down and enjoys it. Smurf will lope nice circles, take his leads, slide stop and back all too! He also knows all basic reining maneuvers and does them slow and correctly. Smurf has a very soft and easy lope that is easy to sit! He is a very confident horse that is not spooky. He has been camping in several states from Michigan to Missouri to Texas. He has been used around a ranch sorting and loading cattle. Smurf has a very good handle, will spin both ways, sidepass, back, open and shut gates. Not only will he ride western he will also go english and has been started on jumps. Smurf loves attention in any form that he can get it whether that be brushing or bathing and has a ton of personality! He has been ridden around farm equipment, ATV’s, over large noisy tarps and has also had guns shot off of his back. No matter where he goes or what he does, he is not spooky acting. He has been exposed to all kinds of wildlife such as deer or turkey or other animals like cows or dogs and will go anywhere that he is asked too. He has been rode many miles in the mountains of Kentucky and encountered every obstacle possible on the trail. He will go up or down even the steepest slopes, across deep creeks, over downed trees, and over all types of rough terrain while still being sure footed. Smurf is great by design!!!
