Opening Gaits is looking for two horses from Sept to mid May! 🐴🐴
Prefer QH types who have been there, done that, not spooky, bitey, kicky, fence wreckers or unsociable beings! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
Our horses live outside in a mixed herd with great hay, food, shelters and love! 🧑
We do not want your laminitic, metabolic one foot in the grave horses or your 4 year old with 30 days training. πŸ‘Ž
We need nice polite, broke horses that need a little job! The perfect size would be 14-16hh, age 6-20 and capable of carrying 170lb at walk trot only.
Mild maintenance is ok with owner supplied meds. We cover basic trims, vaccinations., deworming etc when in the program. πŸͺ£
Great feed program, lots of love and attention and keeps them moving over winter! They get more massages than I ever do! πŸ’†β€β™€οΈ
We have a heated barn and arena. Did I say the horses get loved on?! 🧑
We are based in Dewinton and would love to have local horses! πŸ΄πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ΄
If you have a horse or two that we could borrow for the program please email me at [email protected]
