16+ hands. He never raced and there are no published works listed. He retired on 12/26/24 with a bow. He is currently turning out with one gelding and doing well. He is currently riding well at the walk and trot in straight lines. Once he is fully and properly healed later this summer, he should be suitable for low to mid level use.
!!! ADOPTED !!!
Fighter is a good natured gelding with a fun personality and a bit of bling on his dark bay coat. He is adjusting well to retirement and night time turnout and seems to be intelligent.
Fighter has blossomed with a frequent ride schedule – he listens well and is very responsive to requests for gait changes. Fighter rides well in the arena and outdoors. He travels in a very nice natural frame and at a moderate pace. Fighter is still green and will need a patient trainer to help him continue his excellent progress.
Fighter is quiet in his stall and enjoys sparring with his neighbor next door. He walks respectfully on a lead rope and is well behaved for grooming, vet and farrier. He doesn’t seem spooky and seems to be a lovely horse to have in the barn.
He does have locking stifle issues and will need 16- 24 hour turnout, no exceptions. His adopter must be able to accommodate this need. He does great under saddle with a 20-30 minute warm up and enjoys his work.
He was castrated on 2/7/25.
Listed adoption fees will be half off the listed price if paid and picked up through August 1.
