Crom is an awesome prospect! He is 16hh, chestnut and moves beautifully. He lifts up those big draft feet and tail when he is moving about in pasture. We have had him here in the gorgeous North Idaho area and has wintered well, great coat, nice long tail, bright, kind eyes. He is up to date as of Spring of this year. He had his teeth floated and his shots. Crom is a healthy young gelding, we bought him as a yearling for my husband in 2006, but unfortunately my husband has had to go on blood thinners for the rest of his life, riding a young (though good) horse is just not an option for him anymore. I am a smaller woman and he's too big for me, though he is very kind and gentle, he's just too tall for me to get onto easily. I know that someone will want him when they meet him.
We have only trailered Crom a total of 3 times, but he goes in fine as long as it is big enough for him. He is good with being touched, we've been doing that a long long time with him. He is ready for the mountains, the ring or for working. Really though Crom knows his name, he is eager to be in the presence of a person's company. He isn't mean in the field, but he is tough. He doesn't spook looking straight at a moose, but he's nervous around moving vehicles still. We have moved him to different pastures down country roads and he is always pretty nervous about those cars, but I have never been hurt by him in the moving process. I have ponied him behind an older mare before and he did great, I have ridden him a total of maybe 4-5 times with a hackamore and he did good, just needs to learn more. Everyone who has ever met Crom has been impressed with him. We will keep him until the day someone else wants him, I may do some training after winter is over, but then I think it would do someone better to get him now and work with him and get to know him now. He is a big love and he respects voice commands. We can be leading him without a halter and lead and just stop next to him and he does the same, I can push gently into his shoulder and he backs easily. Because he's a big boy he loves his food, so we have taught him just by saying the words "Back Crom" to back from us when we are bringing out any of his feed. He was overly eager as a youngster so he needed to learn manners. We don't feed any of our horses treats by hand as this has kept bad habits from forming. Crom is ready to go, he is fed on grass hay, a mineral salt mixture,and we only supplement in the winter for our winters are cold and hard so we like to keep more in them. Other than that he is easy to keep and easy to like and love. We have essentially raised a great colt into a good young man, let Crom be a horse and not bully him. His temperament is great and you will love him.
Thanks and please come check him out, even this winter if you so feel the need. Crom was named after the war god that Conan the Barbarian prays to (in the Arnold Schwartzenegger movie) if you are wondering where that name is coming from. :) And he loves his name, it suits him very well and he responds so easily to it. Seriously he is kingly looking horse.
