Learn MoreName: Doolittle
Animal ID: 432780
Gender: Gelding
Age: 9 years old
Breed: Paso Fino
Height: 14.1hh
Adoption Fee: $800
Location: Hempstead
Adopter experience needed: Advanced
Training level: Green Broke, has had less than ten rides under saddle.
Current assessment and personality: Doolittle came to us in March a feral stallion. He has been gelded and has made great progress in his training with us! Although he can be quite skeptical he tries really hard and learns quickly! He has progressed in his training and is considered green broke. He has not been ridden for several months and will need a refresher. Very nervous and skeptical, however under saddle he has never attempted to bolt/buck/rear and is respectful to pressure. Very smooth horse to ride, and we believe with the right handler and exposure he will gain the confidence he needs to be a fantastic trail horse.
