Over the years I have ridden him some, but we never really connected. My husband loved him because he has such a fun personality and is a character. He stomps in his waterer, throws his grain pan around the pasture, steals your hat, screwdrivers out of your pocket and unlatches the gates. We finally had to put a lock on the gates to stop him :-) This year my husband finally decided he is not going to ride and if he does ride it will be his motorcycle. I am 5'2" tall on a good day and with a 15.3hh horse I decided he is way to tall for the type of riding I do, which is trail riding and CTRs. Getting on and off him is difficult at best.
This is Dancer eating his last dinner here. He and my mare were up the hill in our 1 acre pasture and when I whistled like I usually do, he came running. He loves people and treats and always comes to visit and get treats if you have one.
We decided it was time to let him go to someone who will ride him and love him and have fun with him, he is too great of a horse to be a pasture pet. So I put him on the internet and got an email from a wonderful lady down in Kentucky who was looking for a big boy that was gaited and she loved the way he looked and moved after she saw the videos I posted on utube. He is now in KY on a farm with 15 acres and 2 other horses on the edge of a national forest. She is 5'6" tall, just the right height for Dancer :-) and an experienced rider. I hope he will be happy there and that she and him become a great partnership.
