Breed: Paint/Pinto

Adoption Fee: $1,200

Adopter experience needed: Beginner

Current assessment and personality: Onyx is a very simple and easy gelding to handle under saddle as well as on the ground. He is very quiet and soft in the mouth. Due to his easy going demeanor, we could see this guy making a great horse for a beginner/new rider or even potentially children once he is back in a program. He is a little out of shape however will thrive with consistent rides. We see Onyx making someone a perfect trail/pleasure horse! To see a video of Onyx being ridden, please click on the link below.
