The All-Rounder

The All-Rounder

Comfortable in the middle of everything, which is rarer than it sounds. Enough forward to stay honest, enough patience to wait for you. Not a specialist - a generalist. The kind of horse that makes a good program great, or a rough patch survivable.

About this horse

Disciplines: Beginner-Safe, Family-Safe, Husband-Safe, Kid-Friendly, Lesson, Natural Horsemanship Training, No Vices, R+ Training, Rider Level-Amateur, Rider Level-Novice Family safe, former lesson horse available for a new home. Rusty was sold to me as a Quarter Horse, but is more likely an Appendix. He is well trained, sound, barefoot, current on all vaccines, and recently had his teeth floated. He is smart, curious, playful, and funny. He does not crib. Rusty is best suited to a confident handler. He can be pushy and often needs to be reminded of his manners. He may take advantage of a novice or someone who questions their horsemanship. His worste characteristic is that he can be nippy, though is not consistently so.once leadership and respect are established, there are no concerns.
