CANYON

Canyon is a good-looking, well-made chestnut gelding with a friendly personality and plenty of experience under his belt. At 12 years old and standing 15.2 hands, he is a nice size for a variety of riders and has spent much of his life doing what he does best — taking care of business out on the trail. He is the type of gelding that is easy to appreciate, whether you’re saddling up for a long day in the mountains or just wanting to enjoy a quiet ride around the farm.

Canyon has an extensive background as a trail horse, having covered miles of mountain trails, creek crossings, rocky terrain, and rough country. He is accustomed to navigating challenging footing, climbing and descending hills, and traveling through country that requires a horse to pay attention to where he’s going. He is sure-footed, sensible, and comfortable spending hours outside. He’s not a horse that has only seen a few groomed trails around the barn. Canyon has been out and done the miles, and his experience shows.

In addition to his trail riding background, Canyon has spent time working as a camp horse. He is familiar with being ridden away from home, spending time in different surroundings, and going about his job without needing everything to be familiar. That experience is especially valuable for someone who enjoys hauling out to new trail systems, taking weekend camping trips, or exploring different places throughout the year.

While his experience outside is certainly one of his strongest qualities, Canyon is not limited to trail riding. He rides nicely in the arena and is enjoyable to have around for everyday riding. You can saddle him up and ride around the property, put in some time in the arena, or load him up for a day on the trails. He has the versatility to be enjoyed in several different settings without needing a specialized job.

Canyon also has a very pleasant personality. He is friendly, easy to get along with, and gets along well with other horses. He’s the kind of horse you enjoy having in the barn, both for his manners and his uncomplicated disposition. He is sound and ready to continue doing the things he already knows and enjoys.

For someone searching for a dependable trail partner with a substantial amount of outside experience, Canyon deserves a serious look. He would be a wonderful candidate for a recreational trail rider, someone who enjoys camping and mountain riding, or a family looking for a versatile gelding to enjoy around the farm. He has a nice balance of experience, personality, and usability, with plenty to offer his next owner
