TBA Flint purebred Arabian GeldingFlint has nice soft eyes, and long legs. He has an easy going disposition that we just love to work with. We had done a lot of fun ground obstacle work and sacking out on him, prior to his going to a trainer. He seemed to always enjoy the new things he's learned.

He is stake out broke, loads in a slant load trailer well, leads calmly over blue poly-tarp and other types of more natural trail obstacles. He will carry an open blue poly-tarp on his back. Normally cautious without being overly spooky. He has a willing, easy going nature and does not act herd bound, seems just as happy and content with the human he is with.

Flint is blemished, he has scarring on the right outside front heel/hoof area from an injury as a yearling. Riding on lots of gravel or stoney ground will likely require shoes on the fronts to help maintain his soundness.

 

 

Flint rearFlint 45 days of professional training using Parrelli, Johnny Lyons type methods. And has had a total of 90-100 rides. I'm very pleased with how he is handling new things that he is exposed to.

He's a sweetheart of a horse, very willing to try to do or understand what is asked. Well started, but still should have more riding by someone with some experience to brush up and continue advancing his training. He does side passes but rusty with them, backs nice, has a nice head set with good softness with his head and neck. He has a nice fast ground covering walk and smooth gaits.

Front legs of TBA FlintFlint is mostly Egyptian and Russian breeding with some Polish breeding, including one line to *Witez II / Ofir. He has a lot of Pritzlaff Ranch Egyptian breeding. The Pritzlaff bred horses are known for their intelligence and extra special people loving personalities. Pritzlaff horses generally love being with people, and their intelligence makes them curious and looking forward to what happens next. The Pritzlaff horses often make good cattle horses, as they were bred for that. Flint seems to have the renown Pritzlaff personality.

Flint does not do well on sweet feeds, maybe glucose intolerant??? He does very well on natural hay, forage, and grains.

Flint is ranch raised and is use to being with cattle, as he is usually wintered with our herd bulls during winters months, so knows how to watch out for himself and how to manage himself with being around average natured bulls. He's summer pasture is a ranch/cattle type of pasture with barbwire fencing, so he is also familiar with that type of fencing.

Flint 10-24-2008I can only fault Flint in two areas. First maybe because his breeder halter broke him with a donkey, so maybe he expects his lead to move with him??? For those last three folks who have asked about that, we really don't know why he does it, as he has never broken loose here from being tied. However, he has halter pulled since we've gotten him..if tied to short. Our first halter pulling incident was right away after loading in the trailer as a weanling to bring him home, he lead very well otherwise, but didn't like being tied short right away and pulled. We had to leave him tied for the trip home, as the rear of the two horse had an open top on the back and we didn't want him jumping out. He has been tied countless times for long periods, just once in a while he will pull for whatever his reason is. He seems best if the lead length allows him to turn his head to his shoulder. We are now using an Aussie tie-ring on him, including on the trailer, and he is getting less claustrophobic about being tied short, when he knows he can pull his lead to where he is more comfortable. Second is he holds his head to high for bridling, he hasn't figured out how to cleanly spit out or take the bit yet without banging his teeth on it. Bridling him with a lead rope many times, instead of a metal bit, would probably help him learn to handle that better without banging his teeth on metal.

FlintFlint is stake out broke using a flat web strap as shown in the one picture and stakes out on a dog corkscrew stake. Which will be great on trail rides during lunch breaks, or camping out.

Flint is a loveable fellow who loves attention, his buyer should enjoy his friendly curious personality. Horses with his type of personality are hard to find. Because of his heel scar we are asking only half of what he should have been worth, his personality is worth much, much more! E-mail if you have questions about Flint.
