Ballivor

Amazing War Horse Alert~

Just wow! Ballivor came to us about two years ago from MD’s Beyond the Wire- he had won over $300K with a record of  51-8-6-8 but he had a mild suspensory and was a ridgling. He was totally impressive but also quite studdish- after gelding him, we turned him out with a large herd of geldings so he could learn how to behave himself and with other horses. It took some time and we got busy with other horses. We finally brought him over to the main part of the farm and restarted him and he was incredible. Stood like a pro at the mounting block and walked trotted and cantered quietly both ways. On day one he had a little trouble with his leads but on day two he was perfect. Lately the right lead has been tougher but popping him over a little fence makes it easier.

He has a ton of presence, is super easy to ride and a lovely mover. Beginner friendly. Clean, sound, barefoot. Great manners and loves being back in work. This guy is really special!

In today’s video (11/21) it was chilly and windy and the horses behind the ring were running and a trailer pulled up with a horse on it and he didn’t bat an eye……….
