This handsome guy is a well-bred American Saddlebred who was destined for the show ring when his owner passed away. He has been accustomed to life in a show barn, where he had begun his training on the basics for saddleseat (up to long-lining). He is a very sweet and personable boy, still quite immature, and at this time needs to borrow all his confidence from his handler. His whole life is ahead of him and with the right guidance and someone to show him the way, he could excel in saddleseat, endurance, driving, or whatever he and his adopter enjoy doing together. 

Because he doesn’t have a deep well of life experience in new environments and can quickly get overwhelmed, he needs an experienced handler to help him gain confidence. If you’re already experienced with Saddlebreds or have always wanted one in your life, here’s a young, healthy, well-bred, registered, and handsome boy who is ready for the next chapter.
