Eli, is a 4 year old Jockey Club Registered Thoroughbred gelding. He stands a solid 16.1 hands and is just as sweet as they come! His ground manners are perfect! He clips, ties, cross ties, trailers, bathes, stands quietly for the farrier and vet etc. He is so mellow, you can just grab him, throw him in the trailer and hit the trails all day, or he will stand quietly tied to a trailer for a show and won make a wrong move all day!
This horse is soo talented, and he really has the potential to be a very competitive and successful Hunter Under Saddle and Hunter/Jumper or eventer prospect. Hes got a naturally cadenced gait that is both comfortable and smooth, and with his willing and trainable attitude, the possibilities are truly endless.
The best thing about Eli is his temperment, he was ridden by a child on the very same day that he was picked up from the racetrack, and subsequently was ridden in the arena and out on the trail by the same child. He was easily started on flat work and over fences. Since Eli has been with us, he has been schooled on his flat work and is currently being worked over small fences.
He has been taken to his first show and in addition to being calm, cool and collected, he placed 5th in Hunters Under Saddle and 2nd in Hunter Pleasure, against many older and more schooled horses, and he also placed 1st in a Pairs class where he went calmly throughout the class in quiet cadence no more than 2 feet alongside another horse. Ely also was the High Point winner in his division for the 18+/Open classes at his VERY FIRST SHOW! Eli could easily be ridden currently by an Intermediate rider. He has already been ridden by children and inexperienced riders, both in the arena and on the trail. Eli is currently in training and will be until he is sold, and has another show scheduled for the beginning of October. Though Eli would make a wonderful family trail horse, we are hoping to find him a good show home where he will be used to his fullest potential, which is truly endless...Hunter, Hunter Jumper, Dressage...this guy could do it all, and with a novice rider on his back!
Asking $4000 OBO currently, but the price will go up as his training and show experience increases. Please call or email for more information. Mlewing@calpoly.edu or call (408) 513 4148
