Murphy is a big, stout, athletic gelding standing at 15.2 that is ready to go in any direction. He has been used to trail ride, fox hunt, rope and ranch off of. He is an extremely honest and sweet gelding that is easy to fall in love with. This is the type of horse that you can work on all day or grab from out of the pasture after time off and jump on and will be the same horse every time. If you're looking for something to spend all day in the saddle with or play on, this is the one. Murphy neck reins, backs and side passes to make opening and closing any gates easy. He lopes both leads beautifully and has no problem switching them. He loads, stands quietly and backs off a trailer with easE. Murphy is hobble broke and will stand to be clipped, saddled, groomed and for farrier. He will side pass up to anything to make mounting easy and is quiet taking a bit. Murphy has been trail ridden many miles and is not spooky. Good with cars, dogs, tractors and most everything you will encounter on the trail. He will walk any way he is faced and will cross any water or log. Murphy LOVES swimming. I have had a lot of fun riding and working this horse. He is extremely easy to get along with and loves all the attention he can get. He will be the first to greet you in the pasture every-time and will follow you anywhere you go. You will be sure to love him if you meet him.
