Sully is seeking a soul mate, someone kind, confident, and patient who will take the time to help him develop into a confident equine citizen.
He has a stocky build, of indeterminate breed and has not shown to be gaited. Less than a year ago, Sully was a feral stallion rounded up from the strip mine herds in Kentucky. No longer feral, he still lacks confidence, and is typically the bottom of the herd of geldings he's pastured with. He hasn't displayed any stud-like behavior or interest in nearby mares. He can be stalled or live outside 24/7 with shelter.
He can be very fearful at times, and can freeze/bolt unexpectedly, but at the same time, is also willing to trust his handler in all kinds of new situations, including obstacle courses- he just may momentarily freak out. He does best when his handlers carries on as if nothing has happened.
He lunges, ties, and accepts tack, is comfortable with the mounting block, but we are continuing to build confidence on the ground before starting under saddle work. He needs continued work with the farrier, and may need sedation to start.
He has a quality about him that draws you in, and makes you stay just a bit longer for a few extra scratches. He would thrive in a one on one relationship with a partner.
Sully will need someone experienced with fearful horses, calm and confident themselves, and willing to take the time it takes to develop this kind and sweet gelding!
