    I am looking for a calm gelding, preferably sorrel, around 1500# that will trailer, lead, stand for shoeing and be able to go to work directly as a single and teamed with a mare. I would like to lease for a month with the option to buy.

    Hey Rick,

    Here are a couple of leads, neither one may be what you want, but thought I would share them with you. There are many more horses out there than people that know how to work them. I am just cut copy pasting the emails into this message for, that way anyone else that may be interested can see them too.
    They are from members of the Virginia Draft Horse and Mule Assn.

    Veteranarian; Susan Mende, called me yesterday to let me know one of
    her clients has a percheron gelding, black (Sorry I can’t remember
    age), 17 hands, about 1600 lbs., will give to a good home. She has used
    him for two years with a trainer, doing dressage, he does well, but
    because of his size they feel he will not advance any further, so she
    has bought another horse, and is currently training with him. Maybe you
    could post this, anyone interested can reach

    Susan at 410-741-1473. She says he is a great trail horse, but does not
    know if he drives.

    Would you want another mare?

    Hi John,

    If the price was right I might consider a mare, but I’ve already got two. What have you got?

    Still looking. I’m planning a trip around northern New England in a week or so to look at prospects. Let me know if you’ve got something around 15 2 that is sound and well broke.
