Kodak is a 10 year old Paint/Percheron cross gelding standing a solid 15.3 hands high. He has been used for kids lessons, trail riding, and first level dressage. Kodak spent the last few years being a reliable trail mount for an older gentleman and for trotting around with the kids on the weekends. He is sturdy enough for larger riders, and gentle with the little ones. This guy has loads of talent, so whether you want to hit the trails, or the show ring (or both!) Kodak has the brains, movement, and ability to go in any direction and be successful. On the ground, Kodak is Mr. Personality and loves people and getting all the attention he can get! He’s an easy keeper, amateur friendly, and has no limitations. 

In the arena, Kodak is the most comfortable ride of any horse you’ll find. His gaits are very smooth and easy to sit, he is the equivalent of a Lazy Boy chair. He is broke both English and western, he neck reins and rides bridle-less, and has great brakes. Kodak will go in a frame or on the buckle, and is currently in a dressage based program where he is working on extensions, collecting, and basic lateral work. We have jumped Kodak up to 2”6 as well as introduced him to natural fences such as small logs, coupes, and walls. With the kids, Kodak will walk trot and canter slow and steady, and pops around a cross rail course. Kodak can take a joke and does not get upset with a novice rider, however he is a smarty pants and learns quickly - so he will learn who lets him stop and hang out by the gate, and who will make him work. A tap with your crop or a little leg will get him right back to work though! He is easy enough for the kids, yet has enough talent for a more seasoned rider to enjoy as well. 

Kodak has most of his miles out on the trails. He knows, and loves to go on weekend camping trips and day long trail rides. He will cross water, is safe on the road, and is happy leading or following. He is used to loading up in the trailer and going off property for camping trips and trail rides with friends. He is happy going on a relaxing stroll on a loose rein, and has the stamina to explore any terrain all day long if that’s what you’d like to do! We have ridden Kodak through the mountains, on the farm, around cattle, and through town! 

In the barn, Kodak is a love bug. Looking for a horse that wants to be doted on for hours on end? Kodak is your man. Head scratches, ear scratches, grooming and loving on him… do this and you’ll be his favorite person in the world. He will follow his person around the farm like a big puppy dog if you let him. He stands to be clipped, bathed, and is good for the farrier and vet. He is turned out in a mixed herd of mares and geldings and is very easy to catch and bring in and out from the field.  

Kodak is a sturdy, versatile, and fun horse that can do a bit of everything! He’s the type of horse that you can trail ride one day, take a lesson the next, explore new disciplines on, and enjoy every moment of your ride. Whether you ride english, western, jump, or trail ride, Kodak can do it all. Recent clean vetting on file!
