Hendrix is an absolutely stunning 5yr 16h percheron cross gelding. Yes, he is stunning but my lord he is quite a fancy type. I had seen some video of his owner riding him on the trails, ring, jumping, etc. I honestly didn't get a ton of details so we treated him like a bit of an unknown. Trust but verify and all that good stuff ya know :) Justin prefers to start them out in the western tack when we don't know what they have been doing lately.
He had his picture and video session which he was absolutely perfect for and then we brought him right in to get tacked up. He has been excellent to ship, clip, bathe, groom, tack, etc. He can be a little "snorty" which again is just such a draft x thing. He can be a little bit standoffish but in a normal way for these types. I have learned this tends to be more the way they are than the Tb's that I am used to. It's always a bit hard to explain to shoppers that them being not as approachable doesn't mean they aren't quiet/broke/sane horses :)
He started out on the lunge which he obviously knew very well. Justin stood up on him from the ground and all indications were yes he is a good boy but again easier to put your foot in from the ground sometimes. I love these lighter built crosses that are uphill, balanced and this soft! Instantly obvious that all his training was done so nicely so huge kudos given! Again, crazy windy weather with all these spooky jumps that are in the corners due to wind and he didn't even look. He was really quite soft in the western tack. What a canter! He was just so darn nice. Can't wait to see this one jump! I know he has done a lot of trail riding and I suspect he will love hunting.
