Elvis
Name: Elvis Registered Name: Pull the Goalie Breed: Standardbred Gelding Birthdate: March 22, 1998 Color: Bay with Blaze Height: 16.3 hh Adoption fee: $600.00 Temperament: Elvis is a big, sweet and lovable guy, who is very easy going, laid back and takes most things in his huge stride. He is good with a herd, not overly high on the pecking order, and tends to like hanging around with people and see what their doing. He is healthy, fit, and has great solid bone with terrific feet. He is very quick to learn new things, and really enjoys his training time. He has good ground manners and is safe to be around, but sometimes doesn't realize how big he is and can be a bit 'in your space'. With some reminding, he becomes very light and respectful on the lead, and is very willing. Potential Paths: Elvis would be best suited as a trail horse for someone who wants a solid buddy, and would be willing to put some 'softening' training into him. At present he is very good and calm on the trails, but does not have the finesse of working off the leg aids, or being light to the rein cues. He has a wonderful, long ground covering walk, a very nice forward trot, but has not been cantered much. He does not pace at all, either under saddle or at free lunge. As he has not been ridden much in the last couple of years, he would do well with a rider able to be consistent and fair, and help him along with learning to be light on his aid responses and encourage his willingness to learn new things.
