''Lee Roy'' is a coming two year old, registered TWH, golden champagne
gelding. He was born, raised, and trained on our farm by us. He was a
cinch to break and has been ridden consistently since he was started at
18 months old. Lee Roy has been ridden in groups and alone. He will walk
away from the group of horses on the trail without fuss. We also spend a
lot of time riding him around the barn area to prevent him from becoming
barn sour. Lee Roy has no bad habits and has perfect riding and ground
manners. Lee Roy has a natural rocking horse canter that is hard pressed
to find. Simply ask him and he will transition into this canter from his
running walk without the teeth chattering pace in between. Lee Roy's
running walk can be described as a short stepping, racky going stride,
as he is warmed up on the trails he loosens up a lot and reaches more
with his backend. However, whatever gait this dude is in, he is smooth,
smooth, smooth. This guy has been camping for three days at the local
Bucksnort Trail Rides right here in TN. There, Lee Roy was tied to a
line for long periods of time, rode around the congested camp area with
strange dogs, tons of people and horses, not to mention traffic and
trucks/trailers/campers. On one of the rides at Bucksnort, the trail
went through a cow pasture with dozens of cows on either side of the
horses and little baby calves running around and Lee Roy rode right
through as though he had done it 100 times (even though he hadn't!) He
has been trailered to neighboring farms/trails to be ridden and
loads/unloads in our trailer with ease. This horse can go all day long.
He has the stamina of a four year old and will go wherever you point his
nose. Lee Roy already clips, shoes, tacks, mounts/dismounts, stands
while administering shots and worming, bathes with ease and is as gentle
as they come. He is in a riding rotation where he is stalled and ridden
daily for two weeks on and put in the pasture to just be a horse for one
to two weeks off. He is simple to catch in the fields as he loves
attention and the company of humans. He is pastured with other horses
between the ages of 4 months to 2 years old. There are currently 16
horses in this field and they all get along even during feeding time,
Lee Roy does not push his weight around simply because he is the largest
horse in the field. He will likely reach a height of 15.3h-16hh. Lee Roy
is out of our very own Gold Rush Chance, a 15.2h heavy Pride and
Midnights Sun bred, golden palomino mare who is available to view on our
farm and/or on our website. He is by an amber champagne sire whose photo
I can send to anyone inquiring about Lee Roy, Joker's Spirit, located in
Kentucky. Lee Roy's photo for this ad was taken in the winter months and
we are finally reaching shedding season here in TN and he is shedding
off to be a golden champagne.. Lee Roy is up to date on all shots and
worming. Please don't let the fact that Lee Roy is only two years old
deter you from considering him as a great, gentle, broke trail horse! I
personally would much rather have a two year old with the time, hours,
and miles put onto him as Lee Roy has rather than a 4-6 year old horse
with limited time spent on him! A horse at that age just is what it is
and is not much fun to ride or be around unless he is already perfect~.
He is one of the very very few on this farm that we are considering
keeping for ourselves. The owner, Jim Jackson, enjoys this horse SO much
that he is planning on keeping him. This horse does it all, does it
well, and is gorgeous to boot!!!! This is the epitamy of what a trail
horse should be!!! He has not a single vice, goes wherever you want him
to go, goes smoothly, and has a personality like no other! I have
additional videos by request that can be emailed to those interested.
