With less than twenty rides, Vinnie is doing extremely well. He has been ridden on trails, in the arena and on the road. I am starting him on moving off the leg with side passing and turn on the forehand. He is multi-gaited with a diagonal gait, as well as a very nice reaching walk and suspended, smooth trot. Vinnie will be an excellent ambassador for the breed and a first rate partner to his rider.
Right now, he measures around 13.1 hands. He may grow another inch or two, but could also stay this tall. His dam is 14 hands and his sire 13.3 hands.
Of course he is current on all vet care, trimming, dental work, etc.
I am going to continue to work with him until he sells. He’s pretty unflappable. I’ve had a tarp over him, flapping in the rain and wind. He was much more interested in the grass below. I have walked him down the road to the neighbor’s arena, passing 3 different kinds of tractors/combines, kids on bicycles, cars, dogs running and barking behind fences, mailboxes, etc. He looked, but didn’t spook once. I have ridden him on the road at night with flashers hanging from the saddle. He was just fine with that too. I am continuing with his training in harness and under saddle, with some trick training thrown in for fun. Vinnie is intelligent and likes to be engaged with new tasks regularly.
On the trail rides we’ve had so far, he moved out really nicely. He has a good reaching trot and a good walk as well. During his tenth ride solo, we had our first canters. He was very obedient and responsive to voice, rein and leg commands. He could be an excellent trail horse or do endurance, showing, driving or pretty much anything else.
If you are interested, please contact me. A good home is paramount.

I wish you the best of luck–sadly–in selling your beautiful Vinnie. He is handsome and well-mannered. Not to mention well-educated. Anyone looking to buy him would have only to read your posts about him to know how nice a horse he is. You should be proud of what you have done for him.
Thank you, Kim
The trick now will finding him a good and loving home…
Great Conformation shot!
Thanks, I like that one too. I would have preferred that his front legs were straight and his tail to the other side of his hind legs though.
What an absolutely gorgeous horse! Is he still available? What state do you live in, if I may ask?
If just the right home comes along, yes, he’s still for sale. We are in western Oregon.
