My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Elgin


Animal ID: 565225


Gender: Male


Age: 4 years old


Breed: Quarter horse


Height: 13.3hh


Adoption Fee: $1,000


Location: Houston


Adopter experience needed: Intermediate


Training level: Green Broke


Current assessment and personality: Elgin is a young, honest gelding. He has a very mellow personality and prefers to be lazy. He is green broke and would love an adopter who would exercise him regularly and allow him to further develop his skillset, fitness and help him reach his full potential. He has good ground manners and is very willing to face new challenges, but would be best suited for an encouraging rider who would not be afraid to push him when needed. Although very willing, he is still green therefor will require an adopter to finish his training.


Potential: No limitations


Health/lameness: No known issues


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
