!!! ADOPTED !!!
Patriot has already had some basic retraining and was being ridden by an intermediate-advanced child. He was also turned out 24/7 and did very well, though he doesn’t mind being in a stall part of the day. Patriot was turned out shortly after arriving to our farm and was accepted by our gelding herd and he settled in quickly. He is reported to be a very good pasture mate and will get along well with anyone; we have found this to be true. He is lovely to work with and handle, was well mannered for grooming, blanketing and walking on a lead rope.
Patriot is quiet when in his stall and doesn’t bother his neighbors. He is easy to work with and respectful of anyone. He stands politely for the vet and farrier. Just a lovely boy to have in your barn and life!
Patriot should be suitable for any discipline. A PPE is recommended for an athletic use.
