About this item

Breed: Grade Gender: Gelding Age: 3 Height: 14.1hh Color: Other Disciplines: Endurance, Trail Riding, Gaited Adoption fee: $2,000 Location: Kentucky Humane Society Equine CARE — Louisville, KY Clyde is a 14.1 hh, 3 year old gaited cremello Kentucky Mountain Horse gelding. This friendly guy is an in-your-pocket type who is curious and quick to learn. Clyde was collected as a feral horse rescued from the roads near an airport in Eastern Kentucky. He was collected as a stallion and spent a few months working with one of our training partners who established a solid start on groundwork. Since coming to Kentucky Humane Society Clyde has been gelded and is all healed up and ready to start his next chapter. Clyde ties, knows basic ground work, yields his shoulders and haunches, backs, sends out on the lunge line, roundpens, has been introduced to a saddle pad and saddle, and has recently started roundpen work in a bareback pad with a cinch. So far, he hasn't batted an eye at new equipment or surroundings, and is curious and very calm in training sessions. Clyde has demonstrated a talent for gaited work but also trots and canters in the roundpen. He stands quietly for baths, farrier work, and minor treatments, and enjoys being groomed. He loaded and unloaded quietly for his trip from the trainer to KHS. If you like the laid-back and friendly type, Clyde is your guy. He was collected young enough that he is developing like your average, human-friendly horse and will be easy to bring along based on his willing and curious attitude. We suspect he will mature to around 14.3 hh. Kentucky Humane Society is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale.
