Toby

Description:

Toby is a 6-year-old Chestnut Tobiano Gelding standing at 14.1 Hands Tall and built like a tank that can easily carry an adult rider! Toby has the complete dream horse package from his stunning appearance, naturally smooth gait, in-your-pocket typical gelding attitude that loves attention to the amount of training he has already been introduced to! Toby has been used as a trail horse his entire life from just day rides by himself or a few friends to large group rides with 50+ riders or overnight camping trips on the weekends!

Toby is a true gem of a horse. He can be ridden without a bridle while shooting from his back to ATVs doing doughnuts around him. Nothing honestly seems to faze him. Previous owners let children & inexperienced riders trail ride him in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, they had owned him since he was a weanling & due to children growing their interest in ATVs, pleasure horses were no longer being used. If you’re looking for a reliable trail horse safe for the entire family to enjoy, Toby would be making you a great fit. He is the all-around horse that is about impossible to find anymore. He is not a spooky or nervous horse at all.

Toby has the smoothest gait you can find that is natural; You just have to sit there and hold the reins. He will keep a consistent, smooth gait & doesn’t mind walking on a loose rein while trail riding with a simple smooch. He will move on out to his running walk gait. He will instantly stop with a simple “Woah” or gentle pulling back on the reins. He listens to voice commands and will work off of leg pressure excellently. Toby has been trained with natural horsemanship methods. He is a horse that has a head full of sense and is willing to learn new things. He doesn’t mind dogs running out from all directions under his legs or carrying flags while being ridden, we have introduced several new things & he has adjusted so well! I can go on all day telling you all about this amazing horse, and he’s the kind that is a true pleasure to ride every time you climb on.
We have personally trail-ridden Toby several miles on trails by himself or with a group of friends. He does great & acts the same with either. He Doesn’t mind being in the back of the group, leading or in the middle! It doesn’t get too steep or rough; he will cross/go anywhere you point his head without any hesitation, crossing downed trees cut up, water, mud puddles, ditches & the rocky steep terrains that we have here in Southeastern Kentucky while still being sure-footed & takes his time with every step completely trusting the rider to guide the way! Has been ridden along the country roads around our home, where he has encountered farm equipment, other livestock running alongside the road (cows, horses, goats jumping around), dogs running out, barking, loud vehicles passing, and ATVs. Well behaved getting a haircut, taking baths, tacking up, loading & unloading in a trailer, being shod (has four new kegs all around).
We spend time with our horses training them with natural horsemanship methods creating a human-animal relationship with respect and trust from our horses!
