Dun Playin' Roan (AQHA) 2006 Dun Gelding for Sale

Traveler has completed all three of our pre-rider training levels, Saddle 1: Elementary Saddle and is currently training in Saddle 2: Experienced Saddle.

As a weanling he was introduced to halter training, grooming, hoof care, oral worming, and learned to enjoy human contact.

From his yearling year to three years old he was kept in a herd setting most of the time. During his third year he was trained all of the basics for pre-rider training, this included practicing catching, leading and tying skills, de-worming, hoof trimming, spending time in a box stall and learning to relax out of the heard setting. Before saddle training Traveler was trained to ground drive, lung in a round pen, accept a saddle on his back and trailer load.

During Saddle 1: Elementary Saddle training Traveler learned the basics of carrying a rider on his back. This included standing during mounting and dismounting; following voice and leg ques to go forward, back and stop; turning both ways; traveling and transitioning through the walk trot and lope.

Saddle 2: Advanced Saddle Traveler has been progressing well with gaining experience, learning to flex and developing his form and confidence. He is learning to move off of leg pressure for sideways movements and gaining smoothness through transitions. During this period he has been training in both english and western tack.
