QUATRO

2018 Registered Friesian sport horse, gentle, affectionate, and beginner safe. Quatro is a home raised, dark bay 15.3 hand gelding. He is super smooth in all his gates carrying himself uphill with Kaydence. Even folks who have never ridden before can sit his slow trot. He is responsive to your aids but stays calm and quiet, on a loose rein or collected. You feel as though you are floating as he lopes around. He has a way of uplifting people’s spirits, not just my own. He leg yields, side passes, picks up the lope from a walk, shoulder in, or hip in, spins, opens and closes gates, ponies other horses, and rides one or two handed, in an english or western saddle it doesn’t matter to him, he knows his stuff. Quatro goes through anything you point him at bridges, water, steep hillsides, tires, culverts, traffic, baby strollers, skateboards, bikes and parades. He’s great on the trail any place in line or alone. He just doesn’t care about what other horses are doing. Prepared or not, Quatro does anything you ask as though he’s done it a million times. He is naturally a good minded horse and is willing to do as he’s asked. He’s had a lot of different level of riders, and they all comment on how much they love him on the trail or in the arena. Quatro hasn’t ever needed a thing to just get on and ride, no matter how much time off. Just saddle up and go. Quatro is in a lesson program and provides rides for a wide array of riders. Each day he impresses me with his solid foundation that conforms to his rider, making absolute beginners look amazingly talented. Quatro is extremely friendly and loving to everyone! He is more like a dog than a horse. He is always ready to greet you, craves attention, is forgiving, and is there for you when you need him. “He’s so friendly that he will leave his breakfast to meet you,” said my 70 year old student as she caught him for her lesson. He just loves everyone and takes care of all kinds of riders. As an example of his heart, I remember a time when he was in a stall with a small run for a week, when I saddled him up still wet from a bath, loped him away from the barn alone through an open field, down a lane that he’s never been on, to the start of his first parade. He was absolutely flawless. He loved everyone cheering and waving to him. He’s an angel to clip, has had his teeth floated without sedation; he’s really an agreeable gentleman. He’s traveled a fair amount as well and seen a lot of country in MT, UT, AZ and TX. He also packs, high lines and three-legged hobbles. He is the fourth foal from my mare Kayah; all of her babies have been beginner safe, not herd bound, love water and are handy at opening gates on their own! He and his mother have also never needed shoes, having the hardest feet I’ve ever trimmed. All of her six babies have been so good minded that inexperienced horse people have successfully started them and have kept them for life; none of them have left my valley. I know for a fact Quatro will be sourly missed by my students and I. Here is your chance for a once in a lifetime kind of horse. I’m certain that Quatro’s next home will be his forever home.
