Equine Proper Beginnings

'All About Me' aka Alvin is a BIG, beautiful 9 year old, AHR registered haflinger gelding. Alvin certainly shines bright in many areas but his true greatness is on the trail. At 4, he was ridden in the mountains of Reserve, New Mexico and since then has logged many more, fun trail miles! He is confident and fantastic alone on trails and also great with a group. He is a natural leader when trail riding with others, but he has no issues in the middle or back of the line. Alvin is perfect at crossing any obstacle - creeks, bridges, rock crossings, stock ponds, washouts, whatever you want - even fire! He doesn't hesitate, balk or refuse. He's so level headed and NOT spooky that trail riding is very enjoyable on him. He'll drag anything from logs to trash bags, walk under flapping tarps, through a "car-wash" and I even check our mail box from his back! Plus, he's successful at executing the ACTHA obstacles - pinwheels, opening/closing gates w/ one hand, side passing over logs, picking up trash, etc. Not barn or buddy sour at all. He is absolutely one of the bravest horses I've been on. Lots of experience with weekly on property trail rides, road rides and hauled offsite for trail rides several times a month. On property trail rides are usually always bareback in just a halter. Just hop on and go. Alvin has never said "NO" to me and he will literally (and happily) go anywhere I ask him. He's such a good boy!
