Slim is coming y/o, h who's maturing into one great
-
Trail riding professional taking on the toughest challenges we've come up against like it was child's play. I once rode him out of the woods and onto a side road where there was an old farm equipment "graveyard" which included about any type wierd implement you can imagine. We went right down into the middle of it all and picked our way around the maze of junk, and the ocassional y/o round hay bale, and he never gave any of it a second thought. He's got a very beautiful way of going and this super sweet disposition to match making him one fantastic partner. All of the everyday stuff is simple and easy to do with him and, of course, loading/unloading/baths/shoeing etc are all done with ease.
I'll have to say that Slim keeps one of the neatest stalls of any horse ever and, believe it or not, he can stay out in the pasture for a few days and still look clean in spite of all that beautiful white. As good as he is today, he'll be incredible like his brothers as he ages and matures physically making him some kind of fun. His gait is very nice and it gets better and better every time we go out and put in some miles. He'll stand stock still to mount, walk off on a loose rein, or get busy and move on out if that's your pleasure. This Cassanova aims to please so get ready for some fun
This ain't your grandma's trail horse... Destiny of Dollar has always been very affectionately called "Little Stinky" around here and I will tell you why. We found him quite by accident while going to look at another b2b email list horse, who when we got there to see, had a hind leg that was torn to shreds by a fence and the folks "somehow forgot" to mention that small fact. We had driven hours and were very frustrated to have wasted so much time and fuel for what could have been prevented.
However, sometimes things have their own way of taking the direction they're supposed to and we found this little yearling in a back stall just covered with dirt/manure and we, of course, had to get him out of there. He had a wonderful disposition, was so very sweet and it was not his fault that he was in such a mess and actually "stinky". So as a term of endearment we started referring to him as "Little Stinky" and obviously whether or not it should have, it stuck. We started him our usual way with ground work at mos and then put about rides under saddle before turning him back out to grow until we felt it was time for him to finish out.
He is now y/o, filled out nicely & stands h so he is a great size for lots of riders. His gait is one of those absolutely awesome ones that requires nothing special and easy for anyone to find. In the woods he is willing & able to tackle whatever has come up and done it with the expertise of a seasoned pro which is because he was born to be a trail horse. He will politely walk on a loose rein all day long but he will always be ready to move on out for the asking which makes him loads of fun to trail ride.
I wouldn't hesitate to put him in the trailer take him absolutely anywhere to ride and know I have a great horse under me. We have a good young friend who loves riding him and will be sad to see him leave ESF but we have several more for him to enjoy and he does a great job when he rides. While we may refer to him as Little Stinky I can tell you this boy smells the BEST to me... $ // Stinky went to the fair and it was his first time ever to go to "town" . He did the best taking all the hoopla like a gentleman with barely a bobble... The picture to the left was taken during the observance of the National.
