Description

Porter is a 15.1 hand, very stocky IDHA registered Gypsy Drum. We've had him since he was a yearling - my Daughter taught him when they were both young to pull her around on a sled, and to navigate jumps off lead. Once he was near 4 years old, she started riding him, with no training, and he did great! Has never once offered to buck or rear, would never dream of kicking or biting a person. He's one of those gentle horses you can throw a nebie rider on. The videos of him in fun shows were taken before his training. In 2021 he did have 3 months professional training, mostly under saddle but started driving, and laying down/sitting on cue. He also Side passes at a walk, Trot & Canter, and is very fun to ride bareback!

Porter is extremely gentle, and a bit on the lazy side. He will lead or follow, can navigate any trails and absolutely loves water!! He has a blast riding through lakes or rivers, and we'll go all the way in and swim. He's a very very easy keeper - stays fat on air! Porter has very strong, healthy feet, and has never had shoes. He's always been kept current on vaccines, never been sick nor injured a day in his life. This is an extremely difficult decision to come to, to let him go, but none of us really ride anymore and he's far too amazing of a horse to be wasted in the field. He's used to being housed with many other horses out in pasture, but also does fine in a stall. He is used to all other farm animals and even camels! He's very familiar with four wheelers and traffic. He has been shown a few times in fun shows, But if someone rode him consistently he would do fantastic in competition. We are hoping to find him a new best friend, and a home worthy of him.
