🔵'𝑷𝑨𝑷𝑷𝒀 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒚' 🔵
This handsome, personable, 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝟭𝟬-𝘆𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝟭𝟰.𝟯𝗛𝗛, 𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 used as avid mountain explorer & trail blazer. The problem - ‘Pappy the Appy’ is just too tall for ‘Grappy’ to mount from the ground this year so… I have had him here at the feedlot getting him tuned up & 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 here!
‼️ Since Pappy arrived here it was evident that he had a good foundation at some point but also that he obviously hadn’t been rode consistently enough to have been made into a solid citizen as of yet. He showed signs that somewhere along the line he learned that he could make the decisions on what types of adventure was going to be had & he did this by toughening up in the face & throwing a little sass out if he objected to my ideas.
✅ I now have him where he understands that I get to decide the adventures we will have but, without a doubt, he should still have a few more months of this type of consistent riding by a firm horseperson before I would say to you that he will retain this new found attitude where you turn out for the winter & have that perfect horse you waiting for you come spring (he is 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟, it is just his new abilities he might forget about).
🧐 𝑨 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒙𝒕: I had been riding Pappy for about 6 weeks when the 🙎♂️ had a big weekend trail ride where they ended up being short of a horse, so they came & got Pappy because he had been working great for me. The 🙎♂️ that rode Pappy on that trail ride was a dedicated weekend warrior but with little authority & Pappy figured this out in 5 seconds & well ya… you know the rest of the story. He came back to me needing a quick, firm reminder of who was riding him & then he quickly bowed back into compliance & has been continuing like that since.
➡️ Now… with all this being said. 𝑯𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒄𝒌, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒐𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕. He will just (sometimes) test his riders mood, personality or ability by sassing what is asked of him - like a human that is all talk but no action or a teenager who is testing authority 😉 (tail swishing, not being soft in the mouth, tries to go in a different direction just to gauge you, pretends he is scared of something, that type of sass - he doesn’t have the gumption to do anything worse). If you are just a rider who wants to plod around on casual strolls with friends or nose to tail on a mountain trip - he is perfectly fine doing that for anyone.
💯 He is perfect around 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲, has been 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 off of a bit, works 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀, is perfect around anything with an 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 & will go through any type of 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 without hesitation. He is 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 broke, stands in a 𝘁𝗶𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹, fits a 𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 wonderfully & gets along well in a 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗱 environment or on his 𝗼𝘄𝗻.
❎ 𝗛𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹, 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵𝘆 & 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗹𝗲.
➡️ He is up to date on everything but should probably have his 🦷 done & 🍆 cleaned at some point. He is currently shod all the way around & has pads on his front 🧲. Sadly, Pappy’s 🙎♂️ is most definitely guilty of not maintaining Pappy’s hooves & to make things worse - Pappy is naturally a flat-footed, thin soled horse to start with & when he got here, he was cracked & bruised 👎👎. His front feet will still need more time but since I put pads on him, he is WAY better - just tip-toeing if he steps on a bad rock, etc & yes may still present sore first thing in the morning but I am confident that it is muscle soreness from compensating because he quickly walks right out of that.
📣 I have described him as perfectly accurate as a live animal can be & because of the circumstances of everything, this as is - where is but you are welcome to come try him if you can swing it before the ad ends. I am just helping the 🙎♂️ out
