2010 OTTB Bay Gelding -“Tubal” aka "Martini"
priced lower xx,###'s, message for details
Martini is a 15.3 hand thoroughbred looking for his next person. Evented extensively on the east coast with placings in recognized BN events. Competed BN and schooled up to prelim. Three solid gaits, schooling 1st level dressage, and flying changes. Everything he can do with a bridle he can do without (watch his YouTube Video)!! Very sweet with excellent ground manners. Clips, stands for farrier/vet, and loads easily. Has lived on the east coast his entire life but recently moved with his owner to CA where he is currently located. Owner had to return to the East Coast for personal reasons and Martini remains in Castro Valley, CA. Selling because the owner is leaving for school in the summer and is unable to take him. UTD on vaccines, dental, and coggins.
He started his riding career as a steeple chaser and then moved onto track racing. Right off the track he went to a large eventing barn that restarted him and used him in intermediate/advanced lessons. From there he has been with his current owner ever since, eventing on the East Coast and undergoing extensive training with Advantage Horsemanship.
Martini definitely prefers a rider who uses light contact but also helps put him into position. He frames up nicely but needs the rider to tell him what they want and then leave him alone when he answers correctly. So I would recommend a dynamic, and light rider for him. He is amateur friendly, been there/done that, trail rides, travels well, mellow personality.
You could take him home and get to know him for a week and take him to an event. He’s currently in regular work, fit and ready to go! Valuable for his temperament and training experience, he’s a well-built handsome guy looking for his next person. https://youtu.be/62LnpZ3bvWU
