Cassio is a 20 year old, 16.3 Holsteiner gelding who is the sweetest love bug around. After a career as an equitation horse, he dabbled in the dressage world before landing as a lease/lesson horse in my program. Cassio is very well broke, can handle a wide variety of riders and has that special knack of being the “level” the rider needs. As his current lease ends, I am now looking for his forever person to love and cherish all he has to offer someone. I do not wish for him to go into another lesson program, otherwise he can continue to stay here.
He can WTC, jump, has his flying changes and hack out on trails. He is not a big fan of water or mud and can be spooky about jump fillers if he does not trust the guidance of his rider. He knows basic lateral work and is wonderful in group settings and show atmospheres.
In the barn, he is a fairly easy keeper. He is good with vet, farrier, trailering, etc so long as he has a gentle hand. He is easily intimidated if someone is rough handed. He turns out well in a large group and is on all day grass turnout. He currently has front shoes, but depending on his work load he could easily be barefoot. He has cushings which is easily managed with 1 Prascend per day and has had no complications with it.
Cassio would absolutely love the “adult amateur” lifestyle, someone who will adore him, spoil him and enjoy all he has to offer. He is the same horse working 1 day a week or 5.
Low 5s but the best home is most important. Up to date on everything.
