Description:
CADILLAC
Get ready to have a new favorite horse in the barn! Cadillac can do it all, and he looks great doing it. Watch the videos and see for yourself. He is laid back and easy, from working with cows to giving lessons. Whether easy riding or blazing new trails, Cadillac easily goes through water, brush, ditches, and hills. Want to travel a little and visit shows and new places? He has been hauled to rodeos, play days, and other places in both stock trailers and enclosed trailers with slants. He steps off the trailer the same way he stepped on it laid back and ready to ride.
Want to have some fun, use him for archery, trick roping, laying down, or a list of other tricks and games he loves to play. Like to do groundwork? So does Cadillac. As you can see, he has immense ground training on both moving and static obstacles, which he can complete with relative ease.
Cadillac has completed our full training program. He has the best ground and saddle training you can find – from basic lunging, flexing, picking up his shoulders, moving off your legs, and desensitizing to the obstacle course. All of this has been reinforced by practical experience and many hours doing his job. He is an all-around winner.
Cadillac is 100% sound without issues, vices, or barn problems. He stands to be saddled, trimmed, bathed, fishing, whatever. Need a pond diving board, go right ahead. Cadillac has passed with flying colors our training and certification program and is proficient in all below and more:
