Miserable, cantankerous horse for sale – $1400 (New Haven)
If you want to ride, he will just stand there. Whip and spur all you want, the best you will get is a half-hearted buck and a grunt. (The very reputable natural horsemanship trainer I paid $900 to work on this became as exasperated as i was.). If you want to put him on a trailer, and he doesn’t want to get on it, he will go backwards. Quickly. If you want to put a bridle on him, he will actually point his nose to the sky like a timberwolf. When you are not looking, he will either steal the hat off your head with his teeth, or grab your shirt and give you a tug.
In short, he is an ass.
So, if you’re looking for a project horse with lots of miles left in his- ta da! Here he is.
Someone with time could actually make a horse out of him. That person is not me.
