Comet is a well broke palomino gelding that absolutely anyone can ride. He has been used on a ranch to check and move cattle, he has sorted pairs and pushed cattle onto trailers. He rides on a loose rein with a one hand neck rein or direct rein, has a good backup, and stop. Comet has a very smooth walk, trot, and canter. He has been ridden on the trails, in the pasture, and down dirt roads. He rides the same whether rode once a day or once a month.
Comet will let you open and close gates off of him, he will let you carry a flag, he has no problem walking across water/mud, down streams, through thick brush, he'll go up/down/across deep ditches and ravines or anywhere you point him, over fallen trees, through the woods with no spook. We have taken him through our obstacle course, over wooden steps, in boxes of plastic bottles, over a teeter-totter, and bridges. He is a "Been there, done that" type of horse.
Comet is easy to catch and gets along with other horses. He stands well for being saddled and bridled, bathed and groomed, while being sprayed for flies, picking his feet, standing tied and cross-tied, being mounted (from the ground or a mounting block), and for the vet/farrier. He loads and hauls very well.
Comet will be a great prospect for; trail riding, ranch sorting, team penning, playdays, barrels, poles, goat tying, lead line, walk-trot, drill team, parades, trail horse competition, grand entry, 4-H, FFA, a lesson horse or just a great family horse. He is kid and dog friendly, with good ground manners, and is easy to handle.
Comet is a very pretty palomino gelding, that is the perfect size for easier mounting and dismounting. He has a beautiful head, a handsome face, a kind eye, a strong neck and shoulder, a straight back, and good withers with a wide chest and hip. He is very sweet and has a great temperament and disposition. If you are looking for your first horse, a horse for a child, or an older person needing a horse they can trust, Comet is your guy!! He is a big pet!!! And the old pro would enjoy his as well. Don't miss out on this one!!! He sells sound, sane, and safe. Please no outside trades, deposits, or payment plans.
