Meet Casey, a truly special soul and a horse that leaves a lasting impression from the very first moment you meet him. He is a gorgeous Jet Black, Registered Missouri Fox Trotter gelding, coming 6 years old in April and standing a solid 15.3 hands. Casey is the epitome of what a true Missouri Fox Trotter should be, with beautiful conformation, clean legs, and excellent feet that reflect the exceptional care he’s received his entire life. While he is easy on the eyes, it’s his heart and mind that truly set him apart. He has one of the sweetest, kindest, and most people-loving dispositions you’ll ever find, and some days it genuinely feels like he understands every word you say. He is incredibly smart, willing, and eager to please, making every ride and moment with him a true joy. Casey is a seasoned and extremely safe trail mount, suitable for any level rider, from a basic beginner to an advanced equestrian. He is the definition of more whoa than go, never moving faster than his rider is comfortable with and always taking care of the person on his back. He is a true confidence builder, yet still responsive and soft, with a smooth natural gait and a beautiful, rocking-chair canter that he transitions in and out of effortlessly. On the trail, Casey will go absolutely anywhere you ask, calmly crossing water, logs, and navigating all types of terrain while staying sure-footed and patient. He rides just as happily alone as he does in a group, in any position, and is content to cruise along on a loose rein without ever being pushy or forward. He stands quietly to mount from the ground or a block, is broke with a true one-hand neck rein, and flexes and bends softly when asked. Casey is not spooky by nature and is well acclimated to traffic, dogs, farm animals, wildlife, and farm equipment. His ground manners are second to none—he stands tied patiently, has been on overnight camping trips, is wonderful to tack, loves to be groomed, clips like a gentleman, stands great for the farrier, and loads and hauls with ease. If you’ve been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime riding partner, Casey is the kind of horse that simply doesn’t come along very often, and he is one you truly won’t want to miss.
