Noah has been a blessing to know and a gift to work with, to say the least. He’s the kind of dreamboat gelding that everyone wishes they had. He desperately wants to get along with everyone he’s around and won’t leave your side. He’s always the first to greet me and never has a bad day. Noah’s training was the highlight of every work day.

Noah was purchased in December as an unbroken gelding and taken through the program as a clean slate. He moved through training wonderfully, with a golden attitude and willing style. He started his journey under saddle in the spring of 2025. Although he is relatively green, Noah is kind, confident and comfortable with all who have rode him.

Noah is excellent around dogs and other small animals. He has no spook and is not the reactive or hot blooded type. He is calm, easy going, and tends to be lower energy without being lazy.
