"Spike" - 2yo Sale Authority Gelding
AM Spike The Goofy Goober aka Spike is a 2yo gelding from Augusta Mountains, NV. He was purchased sale authority so will not require a BLM approved application, however I will only rehome him to the right fit! This sweet boy has the brains and temperament to make a phenomenal kid/family safe horse. He will be looking for his forever home after the Nebraska Branded Bonanza in August. He can be picked up at the Nebraska State Fair or in Blanchardville, WI, following the competition (can also deliver along the route, or slightly off the route, on the way back).
He has the following skills, and will continue learning more and more until the competition:
-Very easy to catch (if you don’t catch him, he will definitely catch you; he is the first to greet you in the pasture)
-Leads w/t at shoulder or behind (wherever you ask him to be)
-Stops and backs
-Picks up all four feet and stands for farrier
-Stands tied
-Can be ponied from another horse
-Good for baths, fly spray, etc.
-Pivots/Yields hind and forequarters
-Respects electric fencing
-Has been sat on bareback in a halter a couple of times and may be lightly started under saddle if time allows
-Has been off property one time so far, for a 4H event, and did amazing!
-And will continue training until the competition, so will know a ton more, as we aren’t even a third of the way done with our training period!
Like Scout (my other competition prospect, who is also posted on here), I think he’d be a great first mustang/first project horse for someone due to his trainability, willingness, and amazing personality! I do think he’d make a good all around prospect, however, he is more whoa than go at this time, and would definitely make a great trail horse. He is very quite and I think he’d do great with kids/beginners once started under saddle! The video linked is from his first session working on trotting, and first time walking over the bridge without me in front of him. More info, photos, videos, and regular updates on Spike can be found on my training page on Facebook, Double A Horsemanship: https://www.facebook.com/people/Double-A-Horsemanship/100090663580905/
**Preference (and possibly reduced fee) given to homes who would be interested in getting both Spike and Scout together, as they have become best friends and are bonded (as can be seen in the last photo)!
