Description:

Looking for a new family for this awesome little guy! Duncan is a 2015 model 14/14.1 hand quarter horse that loves to ride, get attention and learn new things.Duncan has spent a good portion of his life being a teenage girl's friend and partner through all sorts of competitions from everything from 4H shows to jumping. Here recently Duncan has added a new skill to his rÃ¨sumÃ¨ and has come to love cruising through the playday patterns and just picked up his first ribbons at a playday early July.This cool fella is one of those solid, do anything on them type horses, where you can stand up on him, spin around, eat a sandwich on, flail about and make all sorts of noises and he isn't going to care. The kind you feel safe putting your kid on that has no self preservation. He's responsive enough to be fun without being a runaway by any means. His top speed is not barrel horse territory, but he'd be a blast for recreational playdays and show events. That being said, Duncan will gladly do slow pace riding, and only speeds things up when asked by a more aggressive/competitive rider.Duncan rides nicely both in the arena and out. He handles public settings like a champ and trusts his rider through sticky situations. He has a small scar on his eye that the vet says effects just 15% of his vision, but he handles that like a champ, too, doing nothing more than a double take on strange, new objects and carrying on with his day. His version of a spook is either freeze or go around something in a controlled manner. No bolt, buck, rearing or refusing. Just a good, solid fella with a great heart.Duncan has been loved and adored and would not be for sale if his rider hadn't had to choose between fun and a career jumping. Proceeds from his sale go to her future, and we are making certain Duncan gets a good deal out of it too. A good home is an absolute must as selling him is very sad for all involved.Duncan has enjoyed years of attention and love. He loves to be groomed, likes a bath, loads in and out of the trailer easily and safely, stands well for the farrier and to be tied, even at events. He is well mannered, respectful, knows his ground work and is desensitized to umbrellas, plastic bags, pool noodles, clippers, you name it, he's probably had some practice with it. He's cute as a button and would make a small-ish adult, teen or child one heck of a horse. The western rider in the photo is 5'7 for example.Duncan has no vices, he's an easy keeper, has good, solid barefoot hooves, and no known health issues. He's been working hard and hasn't taken a lame step - vet checks are welcome.Duncan could go just about any direction. He can lope nice playday patterns already, jumps 2'9", does equitation and low level dressage, and loves to just ride recreationally in the arena, in the pasture or down the trail. He's cute as can be, always meeting you with the halter for another adventure.Contact us for more information and to see his full length video!
