Lightning

Price: $8,500

Lightning is a fun, eager-to-please Belgian X gelding that is ready to go on to his new home! He has been incredibly willing and trainable during his time here with us. This big guy wants to be everyone's friend, in everyone's business, and included in all that he can. He'd hang out in your recliner with you if you'd let him. It's been a long time since we've had such a "people" horse out here and will certainly be sad to not see his goofy self here after he leaves.

Lightning is very soft and feely for a draft. He rides around quietly on a big, loose rein, and we have even rode him bridleless at all 3 gaits in the arena. He knows his leads, works big or small circles both ways, and is very light and responsive from his head to his ribs. He is very broke through his body and will pivot on the forehand, hindquarters, and sidepass both ways. He has been started on his turnarounds and has a pretty counterbend, as well. Lightning will neck rein or direct rein, and is fairly simple, and uncomplicated to ride. This gelding has all the buttons to go in any discipline that his new rider chooses to take him.

Lightning has had a good amount of exposure to the real world in his days. He is not a stranger to traffic - his previous owner rode him many miles down the side of their busy FM road. We have taken him into town several times and he does not bat an eye at cars, motorcycles, golf carts, 4 wheelers, etc. He has been lightly introduced to a rope, both from the ground and horseback. Wild hogs and deer do not bother him in the slightest. Personally, I feel he would make a great Mounted Patrol prospect.

This smart boy even knows a few tricks. His original owner spent some time doing some at-liberty maneuvers with him and he has even learned how to sidepass up to a fence or mounting block for his rider to mount from a more elevated and comfortable position.

He is incredibly easy to catch on our 40 acres - with or without grain. He will always be the first one to you, even when you have nothing but a few scratches to offer. He leads, loads, ties, hauls, bathes, stands for farrier, stands to be saddled, and loves nothing more than to be groomed and loved on. He is 10 years old (vet-aged, with documentation), stands 15.1hh to the stick, and weighs in at 1200 lbs on a tape. Lightning is current on farrier (trimmed 3/13/26) and Coggins (pulled 2/24/26).
