Growing every day! He cannot be started under saddle until he is at least 2.5 years old, December 2026. He has a misalignment in his right hock. We do have x-rays. He is currently sound and needs to be allowed to develop before being started under saddle. Arthur should be sound for trails and possibly flatwork. He is not registered.
Arthur is an intelligent and curious horse who bonds closely with his daily handlers. He is walking well on a lead rope and is respectful of his surroundings and people. He loves being groomed with a soft curry, stands quietly to have his blanket put on, and is easy to halter. He gets his feet picked daily and is working on standing quietly for the farrier. He will need practice with flay spray and baths.
Arthur enjoys pasture time and is the leader of his herd. We haven’t noticed any vices.
Arthur’s adopter must be experienced yearlings and must commit to waiting until he is at least 2.5 years of age before starting him under saddle.
