Creed is a Corolla gelding that we are training for the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Lloyd has put everal hours in the woods on him. This morning Terry and I went out on a five mile trot. She rode Creed. I rode Holland, my spectacular horse from Shackelford.
We trotted at a brisk clip for five miles. Creed is light and smooth already. With another fifty hours of riding he will be much smoother and even lighter.
But you do not have to wait that long. He is available now. Contact the Corolla Wild Horse Fund in order to adopt this horse that is
already a solid trail horse. Loads, stands for hoof care, goes through water, handles mud and heavy brush well, long, ground covering strides, easy to catch and handle, affectionate and curious.
Folks, this little fellow is the real deal, the first time I had him run, I wanted to keep him around, his running gait is akin to riding a well made sewing machine across a table..he is gentle and curious, affectionate and undemanding, and as Steve said, he will be light and very responsive. Five different terrains I have ridden him through, and he handles the all with grace and agility. Swamp, deep timber, rough cutover, hard packed road, and deep brush..he doesn't seem bothered..just keeps on stepping. -Lloyd
ReplyDeleteCreed worked in our amusement park today, a series of obstacles for horses designed to train them to cope with odd situations and give them a grounding in weird stuff so they are not so spooky. He was nearly flawless..the only thing he has not do e is to walk through a tractor tire on the ground, and this is likely more me than him..it is the most difficult task for them. He will get it. And soon. I even spent a little time riding him bareback, and a bit of time just lying on his back in the sun..that will be just the ticket on a cold fall day..warm horse to idle around on enjoying the crisp air and outdoors...
ReplyDeleteI rode him this afternoon for about five or six miles..solid good ride, tractable and easy going. Little man needs a person or family to call his own..he is so affectionate and sweet natured..perfect for geowing kids, and perfectly gentle for mom and dad to love amd cruise around on when college and life hapoens..see..the empty nest need not be!
