His name is Norbert and he's a love bug He is 15 years old, around 15'1 bay gelding. He has been used for lessons in the past. He will test you but he is a wonderful teacher. He can be a little nippy if you can't show him who is boss, and if you have extremely wiggily legs he will turn his head around and try to nip them. You may think thats bad but it will teach you to keep your legs still very quickly. He excels in trail, horsemanship, and western pleasure, but he can go in the HUS and eq at smaller shows. He will win each time out in horsemanship and trail at AQHA shows. He is AQHA Registered- Foreign Invester. He is a half brother to the horse I posted earlier. He is by Principle Investment. His AQHA pts are as follows: Open Trail 5.0 Open WP: 1.5 Novice Youth Showmanship: 15.5 Novice Youth Horsemanship: 19 Novice Youth Western Pleasure: 9 pts Novice YOuth Trail: 5 Youth Showmaship: 3.5 Youth Western Pleasure: 3 Youth Horsemanship: 3 Youth Halter: .5 I earned 4.5 points on this gelding my first time ever showing him. The one problem with him is he was fucked up by a leaser who would ride him for hours on end, therefore he will not pass a vet check though he is 100% sound with decent shoes on him. I have heard that she will take as low as 2,000 for him though Im sure to a GOOD home he would go for less. He went to a crappy home who did not put decent shoes on him, he went lame, and they sent him back. He is now back to being sound with good shoes on. Gaby

^hahaha thats awesome... "good" is exactly what? Ive never liked when ads used vague terms like that... do u mean Bars, Pads, etc? or do u just mean quality? just my thoughts

Quality I assume. Farrier checked regularly, hooves picked regularly. . .

He has snowball pads, bars on the back, just quality shoes. His feet are filed properly as well and he is on a regular 6 week rotation.
The people who bought him tried to do his feet on their own or something...fucked up.
Wait are you being sarcastic Chris? Im confused. He got nit picky once with me about my legs and I had to kick him in the neck...(not hard)

hahaha... for once, I wasnt bein sarcastic, well, a lil, but not as much as I usually am... I was just wonderin about the shoes thing... im just always skeptical with such vague terms and little detail...esp when it involves soundness, and when it also includes interesting contradictions like " he will not pass a vet check though he is 100% sound" I know I cut off the end of the sentence, but thats a bit of a contradiction right there hahah... Just if u didnt know, Im saying all of this basically jokingly, but if it were some random ad, those are things Id be wary of... btw, hes really cute, if I had the money and a place to board, id buy him, seriously esp cuz that is reaaaaallly cheap compared to comparable horses around here...

Yeah she just doesn't have room for him and he isnt paying his keep. She (my trainer) just found out that if she falls off the right way, she will be parylzed. Her disc is out of place or something like that.
Sorry about the soundness- he looks 100% sound, isnt lame, but if you do a flex test he will come off lame.

I had to kick him in the neck...(not hard) I've had to kick horses in the neck too. I feel evil doing it, but it's a form of discipline. There's this one horse that I'll ride named Styles that literally tries to attack other horses when you're riding her. Be lucky he's not like THAT lol.
