Houston is an eye-catching 4-year-old grade Haflinger gelding standing just over 14 hands. With his rich golden color, flaxen mane and tail, and striking blaze, he is sure to turn heads wherever he goes. Houston is exceptionally versatile and very well broke to both ride and drive. In the arena, he is soft, responsive, and picks up both leads. Ride him English and he carries himself in a nice frame while responding well to leg cues; switch to Western and he will travel quietly on a loose rein with a nice neck rein. He side-passes to open and close gates and will even side-pass over to the mounting block for easy mounting. Houston is also trick trained and will lay down on cue. In harness, he is experienced and dependable, with miles driven on busy roads and around traffic. Whether you want to hitch up for a drive or saddle up for a day on the trails, Houston is ready to go. He is not a sluggish Haflinger—he walks right along and has no trouble keeping up with the bigger horses. Houston currently lives outside in a large pasture with a group of horses, so he may have an occasional minor bite mark from everyday pasture life. He is branded on his left hip and currently wears shoes all the way around because of the terrain where he is driven, although he can go barefoot on softer ground. Houston is a handsome, capable gelding with the training and versatility to be enjoyed in a variety of disciplines.
