Riley is a 4-year-old grey Quarter Horse/Paint and is just under 16 hands, I think. He has only been ridden a couple of times and is very green broke. He hasn’t had any real steady training, so doesn’t know leg commands and is very swervy. But he has an incredibly smooth canter and learns pretty quickly. He kind of has a laid back personality and is really sweet. I can’t picture him as an English horse. He grew up in a field with a bunch of cows and prefers chasing things. His previous owners gave me his papers, but I haven’t switched them over to my name yet.
Butterfly is a 5-year-old bay Quarter Horse/Paint and is about 15 hands. She is green broke. She has only been ridden a few times this year, but when I was riding her regularly she responded easily to vocal and leg commands concerning speed. She does not know her leads yet, but when we canter through the field she switches effortlessly on her own without breaking stride or changing speed. I’ve only done western style riding with her, but I’ve had her jump over many objects and she’s been jumping everything possible ever since she was a week old. She is very puppy-doggish and will get into your face for a rub. I sent her papers in to register as a solid bred paint, but they were lost. I have the copies, but never tried to get the real ones back.
I've had both these horses since they were born and I really want to keep them. It would be ideal to find them a home for a couple years until I graduate, then I would love to take them back. But I know it would be hard to work that out, so for now I just want them to go to a good home.
