Accolades and accomplishments
Coming Soon in sales!
This 4-year-old PRE gelding is the sweetest horse you will ever meet. Ken has all the positive attributes we love in this breed. He has a laid-back personality, smooth gaits and a puppy dog personality. Ken was castrated and imported in the beginning of this year and will start his journey to Dallas end of September. He has three smooth gaits while the walk has a clear rhythm and overstep! We believe in a systematic approach in training a young horse and therefore Ken has not been overworked. He shows already nice balance in walk, trot and canter, can be ridden by kids or adults alike and has been on many trail rides in a group!
