Do you have any pictures? Any negatives on him like bad loader, ground manners etc? How is he under saddle as well?

[RedTahoe]

How old is he?

[twofatponies]

Really nothing wrong with him? Is he very old? I have a couple Morgan-loving middle-aged trail rider/light dressage friends who might be interested. Does he drive?

[LDavis104]

Updated original post to state owner is looking to place him in a free-lease situation (I was incorrect when I wrote she was looking to give away).

[LDavis104]

How old is he?

He is 18.

Good ground manners, doesn't kick or bite or try to push you around. Under saddle he is forward & brave but not spooky or crazy. He will whoa easily but keeps himself going forward.

I show jumped a morgan that was 28 and completely sound and loved his job. They never quit.

Nothing wrong with him, really. We all pretty much do hunters, he's just not that huntery type with his Morgan neck ;) He is 18 but he isn't "old and arthritic" like some 18 year olds. He hasn't driven in 14 years that his owner has had him.

If I could afford to board another I'd snap up one like this for me and the DH. I passed the info on to a couple of friends in the area.

Awww, I love Morgans! How's his dressage? I'd love a nice sound older horse for light ring work and trail riding!

I have astudent that might be interested...contact info on website including cell #

Some things will need fine tuning as he hasn't done a lot of dressage recently, but he knows shoulder in, haunches in, knows what it means to move laterally from your leg, etc (we do those things with him)

Would he be appropriate for a beginner/advanced beginner rider? I know a mother and daughter who are looking for a horse at the barn I board at. They would take very good care of him. Located in Vermont. Would you consider letting him come to Vermont?

I don't think he would be appropriate for a beginner child. At the walk and trot he'll go around without much work from you, at the canter he needs a tune up on balancing through the corners, jumping he is forward. I couldn't imagine one of my little beginner kids riding him, however I could imagine my advanced beginner husband riding him. Hope that helps at all? Let me know if you need more details.

Updated with lots of pictures and adding video links as I can get them uploaded!

This http://picasaweb.google.com/LDavis104/Mistery#5349503006240943522 makes me want to keep him for myself ;)

[shantihorse]

[sextonstables]

How far away from CT is she willing to do the free lease? Can he travel to other states or is it X number of miles from his current home?
Thanks!

[Mistery72]

To the right situation he can travel his last lease was to PA and that worked out fine however there will be no free delivery to California etc. unless the are paying for me to vacation too:)
