Allrounder

Only once in a lifetime does one find a horse that you never want to part with, and yet, due to personal reasons, this step is necessary. 

Therefore, with a heavy heart, I am seeking a new home— a lifelong placement— for my buddy:

- 13-year-old Quarter Horse gelding, Play it again Whiz (see pedigree in photo)
- Approx. 15.5 hh
- Reining training with a professional trainer
- Training level LK3, with the possibility to advance to LK2
- Sure-footed in the terrain
- Farrier and loading calm
- Current X-ray images available
- No bad habits
- Vaccinated
- Regularly seen by dentist and osteopath
- Suitable tack can be purchased together

Buddy is a balanced, relaxed, and friendly horse who is a treasure in handling and daily interaction (farrier, washing, children, tractors, dogs, cats, New Year’s Eve, competition atmosphere). He easily goes alone into the terrain, stays alone in the paddock or in the walker. He loves being groomed and stroked.

Buddy is a well-trained, ridden horse (rides one-handed in a bit) that reacts delicately to weight aids and body tension. His strengths are ranch disciplines (Ranch Trail, Ranch Riding, Ranch Rail), as well as trail riding and horsemanship. He has been ridden around cattle multiple times and demonstrates “cow sense,” although he could benefit from further training in this area. He is intelligent and enjoys variety, e.g., liberty work.

He loves and finds trail rides in the terrain exciting and stimulating. He has more energy in such situations but can be regulated at any time. In unexpected situations, the rider should remain calm and provide him with confidence.

Currently, he is kept in a paddock box with half-day turnout. 

For this dream horse, I am looking for people who will support and challenge him, ideally families seeking a lifelong companion and a true partner. No box-only stabling, and no people who see him merely as a sports tool or can only dedicate weekends. 

A thorough getting-to-know each other is explicitly desired. Serious inquiries are welcome to send a brief introduction. Buddy is not suitable for dealers or riding schools. An adoption will only be considered with a private owner after a prior visit to the new home.

Priority over price!

Buddy means friend, and that should remain his role— a true friend and kindred spirit.
