Description
Apollo is a 14.3, Dunskin with a stripe down his back and some stripes on his legs. He is 7 years old and is a very well-built gelding. Apollo has mainly been used as a trail horse and has been camping in several states. We have used him for herding and catching cows. We’ve thrown a rope off of him and pulled a few calves, ridden him through rough country finding strays and he is a good cow horse. When out on the ranch or going down the trails he will cross creeks, ditches, and logs and navigate rough rocky areas. He is safe in traffic safe whether that be trucks or cars. He has a very good handle, neck reins, will one-step lope, slide stops, and backs. He has a nice western pleasure type of jog that is smooth to ride, his lope is slow and easy as well! Apollo is fine for advanced beginners on up to ride. Apollo has been exposed to all kinds of wildlife such as deer or turkey or other animals like cows or dogs and will go anywhere that he is asked to. He has been riding many miles in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and encountered every obstacle possible on the trail. He will go up or down even the steepest slopes, across deep creeks, over downed trees, and all types of rough terrain while still being sure-footed.
