Training Level Gelding, scope for much more!
Griffen is an 8 year old, thoroughbred gelding. He is 16’2, big bodied and big moving. He is a very laid back, smart guy who is well schooled on the flat and will jump whatever he’s pointed at. He has completed a couple training level events with the brain, scope and movement for much more.
Griff is schooling lateral movements at all gaits, lengthenings at all gaits, counter canter, simple changes, and some collection all in a happy mouth D bit with a link.
Over fences he is schooling prelim XC questions, including skinny combinations with ease. 3’3 sj courses and will easily finish out the winter season in Ocala with a prelim (unless I wimp out 🤦🏼♀️).
Easy to hack anywhere, very easy keeper (especially for a TB), prefers to live out- but please no group turnout situations (likes to play too much). Low maintenance. Super fun personality and an all around fun horse to be around. He will make you want to quit your job and travel the world with him doing fun things.
