| Horse Description |
|
Clay is one of the last grandsons of the Arabian
stallion Serafix. His sire is pure Arabian and the Dam
is a feisty Arabian/Pinto mix (photos and registration
information for both available from me and/or the
internet) . He has balanced conformation, strong bones,
tough hooves, and a deep chest (a little more heft than
most Arabians). He is not currently in top condition but
is at a healthy weight and has plenty of stamina. He has
lots of potential as a pleasure or ranch horse, but was
bred to go the distance. He is excellent on the trails as
a leader or follower.
He loads, ties, accepts the bit, stands for the farrier, and
has nice ground manners. I lunge him regularly, and he
walks, trots, canters, reverses, and stops from voice
commands. He neck-reins and has been ridden both
English and Western.
The closest thing to a vice: He is strong willed and will
go his own way if you let him. He is smart and a good
mover and picks up fast but is inconsistent in performing
when he gets bored. He is tough and competitive, but
smart enough to take the easier way around something
if given the choice.
I bought Clay 4 ½ years ago in hopes of doing some
serious trail rides and endurance events in Missouri. He
was ridden by a trainer in Navoo, IL during the summer
of 2003 and worked up to 30 miles every other day
cross country and along the highways. As my career,
relocations, knee surgery and age have come into play,
I have not done him justice. He has not been ridden in
any competitions, only regular short sessions, so he has
become bored. Clay is not for a beginner or a
pushover, but those who have ridden him really like
him. I am selling him because I no longer can ride him
regularly.
Please email me for more photos or information.
Thanks.
