notes
Griffin has safely carried riders down many miles of trails. He is calm around cars, trucks, bikes, motorcycles, bridges, water, flags & tarps, dogs, you name it! He is ridden in several parades each year & does great. Griffin loves water, and is a fun horse to go camping and swimming with.
Steady & responsive in arenas & on trails, leads or follows, good with other horses or alone. Griffin also has some experience showing (mostly fun shows – egg and spoon, barrels, obstacle courses), and would make someone a fun games, pleasure, driving, endurance, or competitive trail prospect.
He has wonderful manners, loves being fussed over, is polite with his feet (lifts them when you say “pick up,” very handy on muddy days!), and isn't spooky. Griffin loves baths, ground-ties, clips, and loads easily. Ridden mostly Western and bareback in a snaffle bit or halter, has been ridden occasionally English. Trained using natural horsemanship techniques, and has done well learning basic dressage principles in two Larry Whitesell gaited horse clinics. He's an easy keeper, is UTD on shots, Coggins, worming, and usually goes barefoot.
I've had the pleasure of owning and loving Griffin since 2007, and require that his new owner be an active and sensitive rider, who continues to challenge and encourage him. $7,000, reasonable offers welcomed from the right home. Flexible payment options, including possible lease-to-buy. Please, serious inquiries only.
