Champ / TB Gelding / Available

[jtjedi]

CHAMP -Approximately 20- 24 years old, 16h Chestnut TB gelding with some white markings. Gentle guy that will put his nose in the halter. He has no tattoo. Great bone and shoulder. Shoes/trims, bathes, UTD on shots and teeth floating. Microchipped 1/25/07

Champ is very well broke. He does leg yields, half passes, and flying lead changes. While he is broke to death, he is older and is not up to any real athletic endeavors any more. He can go for trail rides and ride in the arena. He would do best with short daily rides at the walk and trot. He rides well and is very obedient under saddle.
He is actually really easy to handle, does great for the vet and farrier. He rides well with other horses. . He stocks up when he's not able to walk around and does require front shoes.

He's a good boy and I will be very particular about who he goes to. He would be perfect for a husbands horse. Someone who wants to love on him and ride him gently.

Adoption fee $900.00

My first ride on Champ...




Walt has never ridden a horse in his life..








Champ on a four hour Backcountry Horesmans ride last fall.

You will all be so proud of Champ! Saturday, he went for a trail ride through Bridle Trails Park with my boyfriend, Walt, aboard. This is the FIRST time Walt has ever been on a horse. Champ took care of Walt and behaved perfectly. Jedi finally decided that Champ was ok, too. (At least as long as the mares are at home)

The longer I have him, the more I love him. He is a really nice guy. I can't believe someone would dump him.

He is such a beautiful boy!! I bet he was a real champion in the ring in his day. Shame on somebody for letting him end up where he did. He looks like a fun horse to ride!!- thanks for helping him to transition into a more relaxed pace in life. Looks like he would make somebody a great companion, I hope he finds a good permanent home soon- that is if you can stand to part with him now

I agree so much with Patrolhorse on this beautiful boy, he does have the face of a champion...what a great horse.

I updated this thread with new trail pictures above.

Champ is so handsome! jtjedi, he is obviously flourishing in your care. He looks like a teenager, not a 20+ guy.

You live in a beautiful area. Those photos have really pretty backdrops.

Hey Jenm,

Thank you! He's a doll. Bridle Trails park is similar to Huddart Park, there in Woodside. I used to board at Charter Oak, way back when it was a public barn and spent MANY hours in Huddart Park.

Just love this horse! He always was one of my favorites. So happy to see him enjoying life and looking so well. You've taken very good care of him. He's another one that if I could have a horse, he would be in my family. Give him a big hug from me.

UPDATE: Champ now belongs to me, but he is still available for adoption.

Please see first post. I added more pictures.
