Equine Excellence
🔖 11 yrs old, 14.2 hh, Sorrel Gelding
Registered: No
PRICE: $7,500
Max is a simple, easy going gelding who came to Seventh Sundance Equine to be re-started. With a fresh foundation and a new set of manners, Max is ready for the world with a better understanding of life with humans.
Max is a stout, solid gelding who’s ready for a new job. Max is not being advertised for beginner riders as he had very buddy sour tendencies and will likely need his manners maintained in the future. Max has rode out alone with no issues and also follows well on group trail rides.
Max is very respectful when being handled and stands well for the farrier. Max has no bite, buck or kick. Max ties, leads, loads and bathes well. He has been exposed to basic desensitization items and has had a few water crossing lessons. Max has also jumped small jumps during ground work and crossed large tarps. He gets along well with others in a herd, has been very low maintenance and has done well barefoot. Max has completed the fundamental level of our program and has been a pleasure to ride due to his big, flowy movement and respectful manners. A comprehensive list of his education is below. Please note that Max was already broke, but we completely re-did his foundation staring in the round pen.
