Duke

I’m proud to introduce you to Duke! Duke is the most beautifully marked black and white spotted draft that you will ever set your eyes on. He is 12 years old, stands 15.2hh and is as wide as he is tall. He’s a big teddy bear of a horse. Duke is very gentle and a breeze to get along with! This boy is as handy as a John deer gator! He’s got an easy neck rein, side passes, and can make any rider look good! Duke also loves the trails! He’s seen much of Michigan and Ohio’s state and metro parks and a great deal of the local countryside. Duke will gladly go any direction you ask woods, water, brush, wildlife, all no problem for this guy! Take him out and he will enjoy a day of trail blazing on a long rein. He will
ride alone or in a group. He’s not a spooky or reactive horse. He has even been used on hunting trips and has been shot off of! Duke has been in training for lower level dressage and loves it! He moves off seat and leg pressure with ease. He has a nice walk, a floaty trot and a balanced canter! All of his transitions are smooth and easy and he’s got some of the best brakes you will find! Duke also knows how to jump and will take his rider around a course of jumps effortlessly. Overall he’s more of a push ride, slow and steady is his thing. Duke plays well with the other horses outside and stalls with no vices. He will stand tied all day for a bath and grooming. He is a big sweetheart who would love a job in the hunt field, low level dressage arena, jumping or even as a husband type. Duke would also make a fantastic lesson horse. Enjoy the video he speaks for himself! Feel free to call or text Ellesse Schwartz at 248-390-6831. Duke lives in Highland, Michigan 48356.
