Buddy's Story

CURRENT RIDER LEVEL: Confident Beginner<br/><br/>Buddy is a 2001 Tennessee Walking Horse gelding who stands at 14.3 hands tall and weighs 866lbs.<br/>Buddy came to us in 2022 after being picked up as a stray. His owner was located and said Buddy got loose. Both his original owner and the person who found him couldn't keep Buddy so he was surrendered to us. Buddy is a shy paint gelding who gets along well with the mares and geldings hes turned out with. He is a great trail horse but he has the potential to be a 4-H horse too. He has been to our county fair in 2023, where he competed and placed in contesting classes and trail. Buddy went off property to Van Burn and took a beginner rider through trails in a group with other horses from WCER in 2024. He can be a little difficult to catch but with more time to bond with his caretaker, this should improve. He loves to be groomed and he is a sucker for treats. Buddy doesn't stand well for mounting from a block but we are working with him to stand better. Under saddle, Buddy works best with a confident rider. He knows some vocal commands and is sensitive to leg pressure. Buddy is most relaxed on trails, he will both lead and follow. He has a smooth gait and keeps a consistent pace on the trail. Buddy will make someone a nice trail horse who can also compete in 4-H. <br/><br/>To get approved, please complete a lifetime lease application and email it to info@wyhumane.org <br/>Include with your completed application, pictures of your property including your barn, stall, or run-in shed, pasture, water source, and fencing both close up and a corner picture. <br/><br/>Links to the application and our policies.
