SYLVESTER

2017 Grey Grade
Gelding 17.1 HH

Sylvester is a steel gray Friesian/Quarter Horse cross gelding
with a snow-white tail and long silver mane. He has an elegant
head and an overall striking appearance that catches attention
everywhere we take him. As unique as he may be, his sweet
personality is his best quality. Sylvester enjoys people and his whole
purpose in life is to please. He LOVES his treats and is sure to look you up
in the field for a friendly scratch and a horse cookie. Sylvester has been
pastured with other horses and fits into the herd with ease. He is com-
fortable out in the field or in a stall. We run
a large forest allotment where we take care
of 1,600 pairs through the summer months.
He has been a full-time employee there the
past two summers, where he has navigated
through thousands of miles of rough terrain
and seen all of the wildlife that comes with
it. We have used him to check fences, put
out mineral, move cattle from field to field,
as well as doctor sick cattle and pony colts.
He gets through the rocks and brush, down
timber, water, bogs, bridges and crosses the
creeks as part of his everyday job. Sylvester
is the ideal trail horse. He is smooth-gaited, confident to lead and quiet when in the back of a group. He is comfortable going out on the trails alone and
has a ground-covering stride that makes him a family favorite at our house. Besides the many hours he has been ridden outside, Sylvester has also spent
countless hours in the arena doing small obstacle courses and basic training to further refine his handle. He rides one-handed in just about any bridleor
a simple halter will work fine too. He is a beautiful mover, takes the proper lead and rides soft in the face and ribs. He could go any direction and loves to
learn anything new! This fancy 7-year-old stands 17 HH and has beautiful conformation. The Friesian influence in him creates a strong foundation of bone
and foot. He would wear a size 3 shoe all the way around if you chose to have him shod. However, he maintains perfectly shaped, strong feet barefoot
and holds up to hard use without requiring shoes. Sylvester enjoys a bath, groomingor any other attention he can talk you into. He is absolutely safe to be
around on the ground and exhibits a great deal of respect for his handler. He loads in any type of trailer, stands tied politely and is a joy to have around.
He is located at Three Bar Quarter Horses in Rexburg, ID and we invite you to come check him out prior to the sale. Call for further information.
