Date Born  April 18, 2006 Description
Breed  Paint Quarter Horse
Comrade is best described as an easy going horse. Although Comrade was broke to ride in the fall of 2009, much of his training was done in the spring of 2010. He is regularly used to ride out to check cattle, sometimes twice a day. Performing this chore, Comrade travels at least 2 miles a day but frequently more. This stout boy was required to work in cold, rainy, and muddy conditions. We also depended on him during 2010's especially hot, humid summer. He is accustomed to our other farm animals such as chickens, geese, pigs and our mischievous goat. He will travel beside our tractors and wagons without spooking. Comrade is slightly head shy, but bridles and saddles adequately. This is a very calm, laid back gelding who willingly picks up speed when asked to. He has learned to neck rein and queues a little with the legs. We recently took him on a long trail ride down a blacktop road. Passing cars and trucks did not seem to bother him. He gets along well with our other horses and is an easy keeper. Being completely sound, he has hard, large hooves that have never been shod. He also stands fine for the farrier. I have used him as a lesson horse for beginner riders, who find it easy to relax on him, due to his calm predictable nature and comfortable gaits. From the videos you can see he enjoys water. Comrade possesses many of the fine qualities as his mother Hershey who I sold in 2007. A lover of people, this horse will make someone a very enjoyable riding companion.
