Russian Arabian Endurance horse for sale

[Nancy DuPont <htrails@earthlink.net>]

Here is one for everybody that hopes for a bargain and can finish training
to consider.

I take in Arabian horses from owners who want seasoned trail horses and
start them on the trail here in Walnut Creek California.  My teenage girls
finish them by the usual. Living on horseback, going through water, narrow
trails, up and down Mt. Diablo.
We are conditioning a 4 year old Russian Arabian gelding for a local
veterinary (you bet this one is sound!) who rides endurance.  

This is a big, 15.1 or 2 h gelding with a very cute face that is almost too
cute for his big bone and large body. He is well marked (lots of chrome!)
He would make an excellent dressage horse because he doesn't mind being
legged forward.  Not exciteable.  He thinks kind of slow. Not jumpy at all!
 His training consists of about two months starting with ground work and
now being ridden. He takes his basic cues.  He is honest but clueless.
Someone needs to take him out and show him all the attack rocks and
viscious stumps until he is bored with them.

It won't take much to make him happy. A good home, a long trail and the
freedom to move down it. He was bred to be a show horse but that is not his
calling.  What should be a $5000 horse is now is  $2000 .
