Jimbo

Meet Jimbo (aka Jimmy). I'll blog more but wanted to post some pictures and the ad. The ad is incorrect. Jimmy is actually 20 years old, not 18.

$1,000.00
Liver chestnut TW gelding for sale or trade
LOCATION: Worthington, MN

Jimbo-- 18yr TW gelding--my kids (16, 15, & 11) have used him for 4-H horse clinics, pleasure riding and he was previously used for trail riding. My 15yr old rode him at fair this year in games and pleasure classes and with all the rides of the fairway and commotion of people and vehicles, was very easy to handle with no spooking. He is very easy to work with--saddling, grooming, tying, loading, farrier work, vet work, lunging, trailering, etc. He can be a little hard to catch out in the pasture but we just have him come into his stall/barn and then he is not a problem. Extensive trail riding can make him a bit sore in the front for example the 2nd day of trail riding slows him down. He is sound and does nicely with one day horse clinics, shows or shorter/1 day trail riding. He likes to get up and go so a rider should not be a beginner. He rides out nice alone or in groups. Jimbo is a real go-getter, when riding in groups he likes to be at the head of the pack. We took the horses on a trail ride Sept.26 and Jimbo led the group through the trails including muddy hills and water crossings. He went along very nicely. He is 14.2HH. UTD on shots, deworming, farrier work and Neg. coggins. Asking $1000 but willing to negotiate or may trade for hay or good condition saddles/tack or other possibilities?
