FANCY ATHLETIC IMPORTED GELDING
“Iceman” is 10yo imported Connemara gelding. He is 15h but takes up a lot of leg and moves like a bigger horse. He has a big trot and a dreamy canter! This guy is fun, fun, fun! The one you look forward to riding every day, and every day is a great ride. He doesn’t make mistakes and he is always the same – giving 110%! “Iceman” is very fancy on the flat, and finds lateral work very easy. Solid second level and schooling third. Leg yield, haunches/shoulder in, counter canter, etc are effortless for him. “Iceman” was previously evented and loves to jump! He has schooled through prelim but has not jumped regularly in the last couple years as he was being ridden by a woman who focused solely on dressage. Iceman has been jumping regularly again for the last 6 weeks, schooling cross country twice a week, and continue to prove nothing is a challenge for him! He LOVES to jump and is very athletic. Height is no issue! This is a very genuine boy who will always do right for his rider. He becomes very attached to his person and is incredibly sweet and loving! Located in Massachusetts.
