Hawks Blackberry Smoke

Description:

“The BEST one I’ve ever had!” At only 3 years old, Blackberry Smoke continues to amaze me each time I take him out on the trails! I have been riding him since he was two years old. He is always an attention-getter because seasoned trail riders, most of them perfect strangers, marvel at his skills as he climbs steep rocky terrain, over and around boulders, through narrow ditches, walking narrow ledges, walking through rivers and over bridges…and anywhere else you point him. The longtime trail guide at 7 Springs/Rattlesnake Saloon ride in AL exclaimed, “He’s the best one I’ve ever seen!” Blackberry Smoke has a beautiful natural 4-beat gait, a relaxed trail walk, a flat walk, and a running walk. He has a smooth canter and wears a regular keg shoe. He is easy to catch from the field or stall, clips easily, and has no restraints. He is calm throughout tacking up, shoeing, loading, unloading, and handling. He will respond lightly to anything the rider asks of him and seems to enjoy each task. He instantly makes a connection to the rider. Blackberry Smoke would rather spend time with you than anything else. He performs and moves completely at ease because he trusts you, and you can trust him. He will stop and stand without being fidgety and ride anywhere on the trail- front, back, or between. He was raised with love and kindness on a busy farm with plenty of animals-chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, tractors, and equipment. He is not spooky but has plenty of go and the smoothest gait you could ever want. I welcome your calls, and with great pride, I am offering you Blackberry Smoke, the BEST of the BEST.
