Notes:

`Vegas` is an off the track TB who never raced, his workouts were waaaaaay too slow. He is a super chill dude, the horse I put my friends on who have never ridden who want to go on a trail ride. If someone had told me I would out beginners on a 3 yr old TB I would have laughed at them, but he taught up down lessons as early as 3!

I put the husband on him to go trail riding, I let the kids double back on him in a halter, and he babysits the horses in the field. He is super chill. He spent 6 months teaching imtermediate riding lessons in a riding school, he has fox hunted and loved every second of it, he has done gymkana, He has been to some schooling shows, and he trail rides all the time.

The catch? He will only pick up his right lead, but will happily do a flying change to the left lead or land on it after a jump and he will sometimes kick up his heels when he is fresh. We have had the vet look at him he thinks he is as sound as can be.

He is being sold because he doesn't have a job here. I have too many horses, the hubby isn't interested and he is too big for my kids, so he sits in the field waiting for friends who want to go trail riding. He needs more of a job than that! He would be an amazing fox hunter and has gone second field, I think the fox hunting days are his best days of his life. He does need a more experienced rider for fox hunting as he gets strong and canters sideways for about the first 10 minutes before he settles in. He has excellent feet for a TB and the only time he came up lame was with an abcess a few years ago.

He is a cool horse and I wish I had a job for him!
