Gus needs a confident handler and can do light ground work. He may be a good candidate for liberty ground work.
Sterling is a young thoroughbred gelding and is as sweet as can be. He has a deformed hind leg, likely since birth, and therefore is unable to ever be ridden or perform physically taxing tasks. What he lacks in physical abilities he more than makes up for with his personality. He adores attention and is a cuddle-bug! He loves other horses and wants to be friends and play with everyone, but he definitely is still a baby and sometimes annoys his herd mates with his endless energy. He does best in a herd with other geldings, but can be turned out with mares if they set boundaries with him.
Foal year 2022, 16.1 hh

She learns ground liberty and other ground skills very quickly. Izzy usually gets along with other horses, but can be dominant. She loves her food, so attention to diet and physical fitness are a must. Izzy is in need of further guidance from a more experienced handler.
