MAVERICK – 2019 GRADE Black Draft Cross Gelding
Maverick is the perfect mountain horse package: 14.2 hh draft cross gelding, solid build with good bone, steady personality and extensive experience in the Canadian Rockies! He is a gem on the trail – point and go type of horse, having gone through rivers, muddy trails, up mountains and even swam in lakes. He is built for tough riding, and can handle technical trails without missing a beat, carefully picking his foot placement to ensure he and his rider are safe. Maverick is my go to trail horse as he is steady and will not quit on you, happy to work all day. No matter what the mountain trails have surprised him with, he has handled it all like the pro that he is, taking care of his rider. When it’s time to take a break, he patiently parks – no dancing, just patiently waiting until it’s time to work again. He has a big stride and can walk out and cover ground, while having a smooth rocking-chair lope that is easy to ride. Maverick approaches obstacles challenges with confidence and bold curiosity. Maverick has been used to check cattle, and is equally unfazed riding through a herd of playful calves. He is the same horse after time off, with no funny business, buck, bolt, or rear. He is an easy keeper, a gentlemen for the farrier, stands tied, hobble trained, been hauled extensively (including solo) and hops right in the trailer. Maverick has also had an intro to driving training and while he is not broke to drive as of yet, he would pick it up quickly if his next home pursues this. I recommend him for a confident rider as his big powerful stride may intimidate nervous riders. Minor scar on hind leg from superficial scratch injury when he was younger. Barely noticeable, cosmetic only, fully healed years ago, and has never affected soundness. VIDEO: Contact Seller. FMI: 403-669-7917. Coggins. AO1
