CANTER KY - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Road Check -

"Roadie" is a 2014, 16 hand bay gelding. This guy is well built and ready to be a really fun versatile guy for riders both small and tall. Rides quiet and easy in both english and western tack at walk, trot, and canter. He has a very quiet demeanor both on the ground and in the saddle. Very sweet personality, even lets the kids lead him around and groom him. Loves to trail ride around the farm, doesn't bat an eye at anything.  Someone is going to have a lot of fun with this guy!
Noble Apollo -
​
Apollo is a 2013, 15.2 hand dark bay almost black gelding ready to excel in any direction you choose. Couldn't ask for a better brain, calm and quiet demeanor both on the ground and in the saddle. From the first post track ride, been well behaved and quiet at walk, trot, and canter with both leads and flying changes. Happily walks around the farm outside alone or in a group. Sky is the limit with this one, no limitations with only having raced a few times. His calm disposition and cute movement would make a nice hunter for someone but could go any direction that you choose. Being only 3, still has some growing and maturing to do but will turn out to be quite nice for someone!
