Canadian Horse available

[Will Stephens]

I got myself a team this summer and they are great. We are having a great time together. But I have an odd man out now. I have a Bay 14.2 (1100 lbs ish) Canadian gelding. He is 12 years old. Has a small about of saddle training. He harnesses up well, exceptionally well mannered, has done some LIGHT work. He is not overly ambitious but is a really good candidate for a third horse. Bottom of the herd so he teams up easily, doesn’t need shoes if he is not on pavement, and doesn’t need much of anything for feed. Never been sick.
If he is so great, why get rid of him you ask? My horses have to go down the road and deal with lots of traffic. That is not his cup of tea. Not being able to go down the busy roads here makes him of little use to me and I have to buy hay at $12-$15/ bale. I think he would be a good horse for someone with either the time to try to team him/train him up or who is looking for inexpensive extra horsepower certain times of the year. And with a little reminding he could be a saddle horse for the farm too. I would most like to see him go somewhere he could be useful to someone so he is available for free for someone that would use him.
It has been hard coming to this decision because he is as much a friend as my gun shy labrador who I am keeping despite her inability to do her job. But then dogs are cheaper to feed than horses!
He is the one on the left in the photo taken last spring.

The photo file was too large to post and I don’t know how to change that. I’ll email photos if anyone is interested but trust me, he is VERY handsome.

He is a little small for me but my friends who have my 1100lb haflinger are looking for a teammate. Could you email me the picture? woodcockj@sunyacc.edu
