Abe

Abe lives up to his name because he is as honest as Abe Lincoln. He is a beautiful, BIG, stout, crossbred weighing 1400lbs, standing around 15.3hh and is 6 years old. He is a gelding with all the highlights and markings that dream horses are made of! Not to mention he has the mind that everyone is looking for! Abe completed our natural horsemanship program and knows several tricks from laying down to sidepassing to a mounting block. He has a kind eye and loves attention! He is such a joy to work with and is always up to do anything that is asked of him. Although you wouldn’t think a big horse could move around very much, Abe neckreins with a good handle will turn a full circle, sidepass, has a big stop with one of the softest lopes that you will set on! He has been ridden by my 9 year old niece in the arena and on trails and even ridden double with a 4 year old on his rear end. He knows what rough country is as he has been used as a hunting horses in the mountains has had shotguns and 9mm shot off of his back. He handles the rocky terrain with ease, creeps through mud, across down timber and is very well traveled as we have had him riding from Kentucky to California and from Michigan to South Carolina on over night camping trips and a couple cattle round ups. His video that is posted was shot in 3 different states. We have had Abe in groups of up to 110 horses and he doesn’t care to lead or follow and rides out alone with no issues. Abe has been used to pen cattle, has trailed the roping dummy on both sides and has roped live cattle. Abe has no known bad habits, he does not crib or weave, is not cinchy or cold backed. He is easy to catch out of the pasture as he will run right up to you, gets along with other horses and causes no problems. He is easy to bathe, clip, shoe, trailers with ease including loading and does not pull back when tied. Abe has been used under harness before but since owning him over the last year we have just ridden him. If you are interested in a harness video we can hook him up and get that easily for you. He is the perfect addition to anyone’s family whether you are looking for your next ranch horse, pickup horse, trail horse, family horse, conversation piece or best friend.
