Moose

About this horse

$6,000 USD NEGOTIABLE Disciplines: Barefoot Hoofcare MEET MOOSE! 2-Year-Old American Miniature Horse Gelding - 30” - Class B Moose is a young pocket horse with two years of real-world experience. He has already been deliberately exposed to people, crowds, traffic, sounds, movement, and environments beyond what most horses experience over their whole lifetime. *Some* experiences include: • Foothill walks and runs with other runners & bicyclists • Downtown streets with traffic, pedestrians, & crowds • School, nonprofit, community & law enforcement events • Children’s birthday parties & holiday gatherings • Crowds, loud music, bright/blinking lights & costumes • Enthusiastically rides elevators & crosses bridges (he seems to really like elevators) • Loads calmly into vehicles using a dog ramp • House/potty trained • Nearly perfect walk, trot, whoa voice cues on longe line & introduced to jumping • Excellent farrier manners • UTD on everything Moose is confident, curious, and willing, and has a perfect foundation for someone looking for a driving prospect, therapy/facility prospect, educational or community outreach horse—or simply an exceptional family companion. He is not a certified therapy horse because I was unable to find certifications in Idaho, but his extensive experience in unique environments gives him an excellent foundation for someone interested in pursuing that direction. I will also throw out there that I have never been turned down during an outreach event because he doesn't have a certification. Moose has already learned to navigate a very big world. His willingness to experience new things makes him the life buddy you didn't realize you needed, like he was for me :) Moose is being offered only because I am going off to college. He deserves the opportunity to continue his unique journey with the right person and the right home. Boise, Idaho Approved home only Instagram: @moosethemini208 Serious inquiries only If you made it this far, you are probably really interested. He does have a really impressive resume, but he is also just so goofy with a kind heart. He takes about a week of work to earn his trust, but he trusts like a mare - so fully - and would do anything with and for you if you ask, and will trust you to have his back in turn (when we call, I have a few stories of him being an absolute gem in scary situations). He will play with you like a bouncy, respectful little puppy, take a nap with you, and loves to be told how wonderful he is. He loves to make us laugh and is always finding a new ridiculous way to be a good goofy boy. He knows when it is time to work hard or be calm, and I have so many stories of him slowing down to meet the energy of disabled or elderly people in a capacity I have never seen a young horse do. I would do anything for this horse, and right now, that includes finding him a home that will cherish him as much as we have had the pleasure of doing the last two years.
