Speed and he does not mind walking down slowly with the non- gaited riders (amazingly there still are some out there) or stepping on out there to cover some ground whenever asked. He's been started at loping and has a really nice easy lope that could be finished on out for those who like to canter. Seldom does a really solid Golden Horse come along but when they do you can bet we will do whatever it takes to bring them home to Evening Shade Farm to enjoy and later offer for someone to make their lifetime partner.
Gallo has great manners on the ground or in the saddle, will park out for easier mounting (add a mounting block and you barely even step up to get on), bathes/clips/loads and all the other routine stuff that any good horse does with ease. Take a look at his videos to see just how beautifully he travels and like us, you'll be in love with this guy. He's very simple to operate and while we never label our horses with vague trader terms, most any person who knows, loves, rides, and has good common horseability will easily get along with him in every way. Next time maybe his momma will get an extra pair.
Reg. Picture Head Picture Tack Picture This may be the softest/gentlest soul I've ever met... Why go to the movies cold calling list Avenger will take you places far better than any movie script and you'll have way more fun than watching those superheroes
fighting crime and bad guys. He's a y/o TWH that is one of the sweetest/gentlest guys you will ever have the opportunity to meet. The adjective that seems to best describe his disposition to me is soft
, and not in a mamby/pamby way, but in a make you feel affection kind of way.
His mind is so steady/solid out on the trail and when I ride him he's always get a firm/strong feel to his movement so there's never any question that he can tackle the toughest terrain. But he does it in a way that gives a feeling of quiet confidence which should make even the novice rider feel totally at ease. Avenger has a wonderful handle
on him and has learned to neck rein exceptionally well and his mouth is nice and light so it's very easy to enjoy riding in any setting.
He loves a bath, clips/loads/shoes and does all the routine stuff so easily that it doesn't seem at all like work. He'll walk slowly all day long if that's what you want to do and steps up into his gait any time you ask him, so you can ride with non-gaited buddies if you have them. Avenger pastures well with all our guys, but he really loves to come in to his stall for meals and he's one of the best housekeepers you could find.
I bet he could even win the GoodHousekeeping Seal of approval because it's always a breeze to clean his stall which we can appreciate since we do all that work ourselves. He is such a rare find because he has lived a wonderful life every day so far and I surely intend that same picture for the rest of his life. While he doesn't wear a superhero costume he does take on the world and lets you grin knowing you've got your own personal Avenger.
Picture Head Picture Tack Picture Joe and Soldier are just some of the great brothers and several more of the brothers are listed below. Having the wonderful opportunity to breed, raise, and train many horses through the years, you begin to think about lots of different aspects of the horses' lives we share. I always am so amazed at how the siblings seem drawn to each other even when they are from different years and foal crops. I really do wonder if they feel some familial connection like you hear about among sisters and brothers who get separated at birth or early age.
