Thanks guys!! I'm really proud of him! It's going to be hard to sell him this year.

sunny side - Nike is about 16.2 - 16.3? I havent put a stock to him since he was 4, but he was 16.2 1/2 then.

You've done a nice job with him FH. He looks so relax, happy and connected to you.
Why are you selling him?

lol fusspot, that's not me riding him - i'm in the picture on the ground. The ones of him under saddle is the girl that's leading him right now...

Unfortunately i've come to the conclusion that i really cant afford a horse right now, and while i would love to keep leasing him until i can afford it, this years lease has left "a bad taste in my mouth" so to speak. Also, i feel bad moving him every year, especially since i really dont know when i'll be able to take him off lease. I think that the best decision for HIM is to find a good, forever, home wheer i know he'll be loved and well taken care of.

Good gosh you would not know it was the same horse with the change in color. he is gorgeous though. i bought a 3 year old as a solid steel gray and he is a beautiful dark dappled gray this year with the black mane and lower legs. i would love it if he stayed the color he is now, but i know he wont. Thanks for sharing leena
