Jett is available!
Jett is a 2007 Percheron gelding. He stands around 17hh so definitely a big guy. Jett is quite friendly. He is also quite big and is aware of that fact. He can a bit pushy, so we often use a nose chain to handle him.
Jett does not need stocks for the farrier and cooperates well with normal care. After his life with the amish, he had some wacky dental issues (probably why he was thin when he came to us) that we fixed and safe to say he is an EASY keeper. However, he does need to have regular dental care. All horses do, but Jett especially does as he will grow unbalanced and it causes issues. He is all set right now.
Jett was adopted last year and used as a trail/husband/ride around the yard horse and did fine with that job. He has had some time off and was returned to no fault of his own. Jett would be happy to be reemployed as a husband horse type, but probably is not suited for a total beginner due to his size and occasionally questionable ground manners. He is not mean or aggressive, but sometimes he uses his size to get his way (and if you were as big as him you would too!). However, I am 5'5'' and not that strong and Jett leads just fine for me, it's moreso you need to have some experience to convince him to follow your ideas.
Jett is super easy to catch, lead, loads right up, ties well, and again is quite good for hoof handling. He could use a refresher before riding, and we are going to get riding him this week now that he has settled back in. He lives out 24/7 and in his previous home was on hot-wire with which he did just fine.
Need a tall dark handsome gelding in your life? Adopt Jett!
