"RJ" is a lovely 9-year-old gelding. He's been competed through 3rd level and is schooling tempi changes, pirouettes and has played with half steps. He is comfortable to ride with an extremely comfortable canter. A beautiful, modern type, RJ is forward thinking without being hot or spooky. He is wonderful to trail ride and behaves beautifully at shows. He is easy to trailer and handle. I've had him since February and he has become one of my favorite horses to ride. He could have a career as a Junior and eventually Young Rider horse or would also be suitable for an Amateur rider looking for something safe, fun and easy. I haven't jumped him but he is also apparently quite talented over fences!
