14.3 hand bay gelding out of Startown Stables bred performance
mare. He has a small star and loads of common sense, affection and brios.
Elegant head and neck with SUPERB PRESENCE!! Desafio trailer loads and hauls
super - he has been in a two horse slant, 2 horse straight, 3 horse slant, stock
trailer and 5 horse - never has been an issue loading at all. He loves people and is looking for
his 'special person'. Desafio handled the 2006-2009 Minnesota State Fair
Aisle of Breeds with
all the calmness you could ask for - and eagerly anticipated each new person's
attention. Currently is doing fantastic on any
trails we put him on and crosses any obstacle we ask of him - including traffic,
mud, logs, water (running, lakes and puddles!) and bridges of many
varieties... Desafio is our choice for inexperienced riders - he has
patience, calmness and really tries to work with you as long as you are fairly
clear in what you ask. He has a wonderful walk which can be rated from
slow to fast depending on who you are riding with (always on a loose rein too!),
a nice slow corto and smooth canter. Due to the fact he is used to set a
good example for younger horses in training (or is being ridden by a novice) he
has not had any time to learn the largo under saddle - so that needs to be
worked on. Super with cars. A real sweetheart on picket lines,
trailer tying, electric traveling paddocks or portable stalls.... pretty much
deals with anything you ask him to. He will cross just about anything,
with loads of common sense, and caution if it is called for, as long as you ASK
and don't force. He has carried saddlebags and never given us any trouble.

"Rainbow's Magic"
|
Sweet, loving, extremely well gaited and SMOOTH 14.2 bay gelding. Magico has
"been there, done that"... from small shows to badlands riding!
He is very easy to work with, loads and trailers like a dream. Magico will
go wherever you point him and do it with a willingness and smoothness that will
astound you! He is VERY light on the bosal (does not need a bit at
all). Will tie on picket line, stand at park tie outs, stay in a single
wire portable fence....+++ Magico will cross anything you ask him to;
including bridges, water crossings, mud, downed trees +++ (We have not found
anything that he will not do if asked). He is very easy to ride alongside
a busy road or with strange dogs. Walks on a loose rein and will stay in
gait, at the requested speed without constant 'holding' on the reins.
Refined head and neck just brings this package together. Magico loves people and is looking for
his 'special person'. He has helped us out at the Minnesota State Fair
Aisle of breeds many times - with
all the calmness and friendliness you could ask for. Magico NEEDS a
rider whom has light hands - if he gets a lot of pressure from the reins he will
bump his nose out to ask for "release" of the pressure (understandable
I believe!). When he trusts you to only use the signals you need, vs hang
on with the reins, he is very enjoyable and does not bump his nose out.
