“W” is a three year old black gelding sporting no white. He is
of good size, currently 15.1 and should make 15.2 if not better.
He is smooth riding; no not gaited but the next best thing. He
is bold and fearless in nature. When riding on the trail or in
pasture he is pretty secure in mind and footing. I have never
known him to try to run off, buck or rear. W loads in trailers
and backs out quietly with no hassles, he takes deworming and
vaccinations gracefully – no arguments. W will stand patiently
tied for days on end with no questions asked and picks up all
feet. I Have not used clippers on him so he is not clipper trained.
No vices that I can think of. He goes in bosal or snaffle. He
is not excitable and his nature is slow/mild mannered. If you
want a fiery mount “W” is not it. He seldom argues but when he
has had a good workout he may ask you when can he go home. He
is not barn sour nor does not have a dependency on being with
other horses. You can safely take him on the trail alone without
his needing a fellow horsey pacifier.
“W” has never been to a trainer he was trained at home and worked
since birth and has a good working foundation. Although, started
early “W” has been ridden very lightly, just mainly walk, a little
trotting and trail riding. W retains his lessons well. You can
go without riding him for two months, then take him out tack him
up and he will act like a seasoned dependable mount. “W” has had
several people ride him, he is an easy one and one you can count
on. If we are trail riding and I need and extra mount and have
a rider that is not 100% “W” will work as he is not complicated,
just honest and loyal.
"W" only knows kindness and patience but if he acts
up he knows correction. He has never been stalled as he has been
raised in the Flint Hills of Kansas all his life. He knows how
to use his feet picking his way through gullies, creeks and ravines,
he has done this since birth. Due to this his bone has developed
into strong useful bone and his mind has developed in the same
manner. He was raised in a herd of geldings, mares and foals and
thus has learned his “horsey” social values the hard way.
He was named after President Bush, “W”. As a conversation piece
he has had his photo autographed by the President of the United
States. It reads to “W” from George W. I have the photo and took
a photo of the President signing the photo. This has nothing to
do with the horse it is just a neat conversation item; well, unless
you’re a Democrat and would not want to own a horse by the name
of “W”.
W is a leany beany in the photos; he is not an overfed young
mount. He has been grown up slow which is healthy for bone he
will fill out with time as he ages.
W has been on our for sale page for a while and somewhere along
the line I decided I wanted to keep him because he was smooth
riding and such a steady boy who will undoubtedly grow into an
impressive black gelding. I have too many horses, so W is back
on the for sale list, but I am in no rush to sell him. He is an
excellent mount, a forever horse and must go to a good home.
