| Stormy is a 10yo bay 16.1hh Thoroughbred gelding with a star/snip. He came off the track when he was 6, and since then has had basic dressage training, jumping, been trail ridden, and to schooling shows. His first schooling show was in the Hopeful Hunters at Chagrin Valley, where he placed in one of the over fences classes and was 3rd in Hunter Under Saddle. He has also been to Blue Lakes Farm just for exposure. He handled it all wonderfully, ears forward the entire time! He has been extensively trail ridden as well: through the Cleveland Metroparks, West Branch State Park, Headwaters Trail in Mantua, around our property in Mantua Township, and even went horse camping in Little Valley, NY. He loves being outside the ring! Stormy hauls with a buddy, loads, ties, and clips with no problems. He has schooled 2ft6in and shown in the schooling jumpers at 2ft3in. He has changes over fences and simple changes on the flat. He is a lovely mover, with a very cute hunter-type jump. Stormy has potential in hunter/jumper, eventing, dressage, or even as a hunt horse. His first minitrial was Sunday September 13th at South Farm, where we placed 7th in our division, finishing on our dressage score of 40.5. He jumped everything pointed at, and handled the busy warmup rings like a pro.
Stormy is low maintenance, an easy keeper, and in great shape. He is used to 24 hr turnout, and is maintained on 3-4 rides per week.
He is regretfully for sale due to my job conditions. I would love to see him go to a show barn where he will be loved and enjoyed to his full potential. He has a very sweet and curious personality, with a big heart and lots of try. |
