NEW VIDEO! taken 6/3/2018. Trail riding with a toddler. https://youtu.be/FxjYxegxuhM

SPECTACULAR HOME IS A MUST for this talented large pony with a huge heart!! 

You wont find a more sure-footed experienced trail horse with enough show jumping wins to lose track of. 4th place in recent USEA 3 day event Beginner Novice. Half a dozen AERC Endurance LD Races always top 3 with two coveted Best Condition awards.  More cattle gathering, sorting, roping, branding, ranch work experience then a person would know what to do with.  Given many lessons and trail rides to children and smaller adults (I am 5'6'' 140lbs and he has no problem with me and our tack; he's a strong well put together pony). Always well cared for and UTD on everything.  Fantastic bare hooves with perfect angles. Can also be shod when often riding outside on rocks.

I have had this amazing, sweet, reliable pony since he was a weanling & will ONLY SELL TO AN ABSOLUTELY LOVING AND QUALITY HOME. He is all heart with great conformation & very capable athleticism. 

Always been sound and healthy, clean legs, easy keeper, gets along well in a herd.  Hobbles and ground ties, hauls perfectly, ties anywhere.  Enjoys camping and swimming. He is forward minded and loves to go fast and boogie around with a confident fun rider - yet has tons of training so he knows when to slow it down. 

He's an extremely smart, observant, and a very good communicator.  Has ponied many colts on trails - he is the one horse I trust to trail ride with my toddler in the saddle with me.  Sensitive and super responsive to leg cues - side passing, opening and closing gates, moving forehand or hind end separately & quickly, etc.  Safe to ride & jump bareback. 

Can at times be looky and feel boogery or spook away from something yet does so in a pretty reasonable fashion and will always go up to something if you make it clear he has to (the arab side) - never ever has tried to dismount a rider or do anything dishonest, even if he's feeling his oats, he just wants to log miles, not do anything wrong - no vices, no history of unkind behavior - he has saved many kids from falling off by just being a good solid guy and continuing steadily on when they lose stirrups and fall on his neck or even once getting the stirrup hung up, he just stopped and waited for help. 

Moyntain loves to go so his fun forward attitude would be lost on a timid rider. He's also been in a parade. Truly an all-around, super fun, super experienced, beautiful moving, fully spirited, well-rounded, always tries his best, kind-hearted, beautiful gelding.  We've begun schooling dressage this past year and he is doing great at that as well (no surprise since he is pretty great at everything he tries).

I hope to always keep in touch with the family he ends up being a part of.
