Donnie is a 14 year old Spotted Draft cross gelding standing 15.1 hands high. This guy is the perfect size and disposition for any rider! He is what we call a pocket sized draft cross, close enough to the ground to make for easy mounting and dismounting, while being built stocky and sturdy so that any sized rider can enjoy! Donnie is gentle and calm for children or timid adults, and kind and forgiving on the ground and under saddle. His smooth gaits and reliable nature make for an enjoyable ride both in the arena and out on the trails. Plus, who can resist the chunkiest, fluffiest horse in the barn?
In the ring, Donnie is straightforward and easy to ride. He has 3 smooth and rhythmic gaits that are easy to sit. He picks up both leads easily, listens well to voice commands, and will plop along on a loose rein. Donnie is a great mix of whoa and go. He moves forward easily when asked, your legs won’t be tired of kicking and squeezing, yet will never go faster than you ask him to go. Donnie will pop over small logs and jumps, both in the ring and out on the trails. He’s safe and steady enough for our kids to walk and trot around on. He even gives pony rides to the youngest kids and their friends!
On the trails, Donnie is an old pro. He is a true trail master type that will go anywhere and do anything you ask of him. He crosses all obstacles, water, and is safe on the road near traffic. He will ride alone or in a group. In the barn, Donnie is gentle and kind. He has great ground manners and is easy for anyone to handle. He is happy in a stall or living in the pasture in a mixed herd of mares and geldings. He is barefoot, requires no maintenance, and is the easiest keeper.
You can’t go wrong with Donnie! He is great for husbands, guests, or those looking to get back into riding. He has done all of the prep work for mounted patrol including smoke bombs, gun fire, fire, fireworks, as well as all the usual desensitization. Donnie is used to all types of sounds, experiences, and situations. He is an easygoing guy that gets along with everyone!
