We've done everything from show jumping, x-country- barrel, endurance ,dressage this guy can do it. But he didn't always have the lap of luxury life.
When I found this guy on the internet he was said to be 7yrs old and rides perfect.Well that wasn't the truth the first time I went and seen him he was at least 200lbs lighter than what you see in the pictures ugly coat and no will, but when i walked in that horse traders pen and talked to him, he ambled over to me and walked out with me. He stood there quiet as a tree as I looked him over and asked them to ride him. The young boy (who barely spoke English) said well i have never rode THIS horse. So I ended up on him myself and I quickly figured out he didn't know anything, but a walk then he decided he wanted to be with the herd and threw me! SO I left with a heavy heart, and the man I had spoken to on the phone says so do you want him, I said yes but you need to put at least a weeks worth of work into him.(this was before I had my own property) and ill give you 350$ for him being he was asking 650$ for him and he says you are stealing him from me and I said sorry but he's not worth the 650$. So i go back a week later and I cried, they had tied a rope from his girth between his front legs and over his poll and he was bloody raw in each place the rope even had touched him, with out hesitation I said show me no more, beside the fact he had a drunken Mexican galloping him all over the property flopping like a fish and I asked the guy is he okay and he said believe me he rides better drunk. So I payed the man and a week later I went and put him in my trailer and took him home. Once my husband and I moved to our own property we finally were able to have our guy here for the place I was boarding him wasn't feeding him so he didn't gain weight. And now hes the most wonderful horse ever some more research lead me to find out his father is a highly recognized palomino Show Saddle Bred in Michigan and I couldn't figure out his teeth, no wolf teeth but they usually start to come in around the age of 5 and he was supposed to be 7 and he didn't have ANY the were just starting under his gums come to find out I bought him as a 3 yr old after i looked thoroughly at his registration,so I started all over from the ground up and now he's the best horse ever and a natural born jumper. His show name The Grand ChawHee and boy is he that.
