''Pokey'' is a registered Tennessee Walking Horse,
golden palomino stallion. He was foaled 10/1/07 and stands now at
approximately 15hh. Pokey was born, raised, and trained on our farm. His
sire and dam are available to view on the farm. His dam, Sassy's
Favorite Copy is a 15.2h, liver chestnut mare with Carbon Copy, Ebony
Masterpiece, and Pride's Favorite on her papers. These names are not
listed on her last generation either! Pokey's sire, Magic Shade's O'
Gold is a 15.1hh, UC Davis tested double creme gene cremello, with
Carbon Copy breeding. Pokey was started the first of February, after
veterinarian inspection, and has been ridden easily and consitantly
since. He started with zero effort. We literally put a bit in his mouth,
a saddle on his back, and rode off. Like the rest of our pleasure
horses, Pokey did not baulk, rear, buck, or act up at all while starting
and still has not shown any signs of resistance. He enjoys his training
and is coming along nicely. Pokey's ground manners are impeccable and he
will stand still in the crossties while tacking/untacking,
mounting/dismounting, shoeing, administering vaccines and worming,
grooming, bathing, etc. We also work with our pleasure horses to stand
in the hallway of the barn while tacking and untacking without being
crosstied an not moving off. Most horses don't perfect this as early as
Pokey has but will already stand in the hallway alone as he is untacked
and his rider puts the tack away! He is easy to stall or keep out in the
pasture. He loves people and attention and will come to you from any
place in the fieid. Pokey already has his first set of Keg shoes and
stood absolutely still while doing so for the ferrier. Pokey has a
natural four-beat gait that is easy to get him into, simply ''cluck''
and he will move out. He is ridden in a low port walking horse bit with
6 inch shanks and is ridden by single reining, he does not neck rein. He
has a butter soft mouth and will ''whoa'' on command. Pokey does not
spook and is introduced on his daily rides to ridin g with two dogs
darting in and out of the woods, deer, turkey, traffic, tractors,
trucks, strong wind, cold weather, tall brush, logs, water, steep
terrain, and around our barn. He is growing and ''eating like a horse''
and will likely top out at the height of 15.2hh or bigger. Pokey is up
to date on all shots and worming and is offered for sale for the
starting price of $1500. His price, naturally, will increase as he is
worked more and matures. NO TRADES! Additional photos upon request.
