Hapaco

Asking 45OO Hapaco •Gender- gelding •Age- 5-6 years •Height- 15hh, he’s so chunky, but he’s taller than he looks •5 months training •good for the farrier •Ties well •Trailers well *DETAILS* (the real important stuff) This sweetheart has been with me for 2 months of training. He came to me with 3 months on him and needing more miles. I’ve had him in the feedlot, worked cows and calves a little, been out to the mountains with him, and ponied colts off him. He’s definitely reserved and takes time to get to know you and trust you. He needs someone experienced and who is willing to work with him and be patient he has some anxiety issues with new things and he’s quite reactive to things that he fears. He’s not a flight risk and he hasn’t bucked with me. He’s scoots forward or sideways if something scares him, but someone comfortable with a green horse would be just fine on him! I don’t want to scare anyone off, I just don’t believe in being dishonest to get a sale. His trainer care’s a lot about this horse and wants to make sure his next home is a good fit, and is willing to work with you to ensure a good fit, in fact it is recommend!
