FC BLACK TIE AFFAIR “Brody” 2011 AMHR 38″ GELDING

CART PONY EXTRAORDINAIRE!

Brody is a 13 year old AMHR Miniature gelding who was born to drive! He LOVES IT! For that reason, he is only available to a home who plans to drive! A lot! Don’t get me wrong, he can sit for 2 months and be solid and steady, but he loves it too much to let him sit. We’ve developed him to be successful in Combined Driving (CDE), Driven Dressage, Recreational Driving, Distance Driving, Trail Driving, and the like. He’s AHMR and can certainly do breed shows, but that’s not my world. He can also be registered pinto and do color shows. A competition home is encouraged but not required.

Personality-wise, Brody has a typical pony’tude. He does well with large horses but can be a bully to some ponies/minis. He can get too food oriented so we don’t do treats. He can be pushy if you let him be, but is completely perfect for those who command attention….truly, a typical pony. He has a great work ethic. He LOVES to drive so is happy to go. He has 3 lovely trots, making him very adjustable. I think this would make him a good candidate as a pair. His working walk is nice but needs work on extending on a loose rein. We do lots of work on transitions, including the toughies trot-whoa-trot and walk-canter-walk. He needs work on bit contact. He’s 38″ and about 275lbs. He’s conditioned to pull 500lbs comfortably, on mixed surfaces and on hills. We’ve done over 100 road miles and dozens and dozens of drives in the past year.
