Breed: OTTB
(Out of the Pocket)

Personality: Inquisitive, cautious and intelligent. He is a lot of horse. His cautious nature requires an experienced owner to guide him through stressful situations. He's come a long way in a year after spending nearly a decade in a field. Prior to that he had a career on the track and briefly as a Dressage horse. Gilly thrives going at his own pace. We have not yet ridden him due to going at his own pace but we feel it will be soon! He wants his own person! His fee will change as we work with him.

She thrives with relational horsemanship and the more groundwork you do with her the better your bond will be. She will trail ride, beach ride, go to a show, she will do anything you ask her - IF, IF, IF you put the time in to earn her respect and trust. She will only be adopted to someone who will continue relational horsemanship and bodywork with her.
