Meet ✨Shane✨, a four-year-old, 14.3hh, registered FSHA gelding. His registered name is “Covered Bridge Shane”… and yes, we laughed too. 😂
This little guy is the total package. If his flashy markings don’t catch your eye, his personality definitely will. Shane is friendly, talented, and always ready to make new friends. He rides English, Western, bareback, and he’ll even lay down on command! He’s incredibly brave with a natural talent over fences, whether you’re in the arena or out on a cross-country course. If you’re looking for something to haul to a show next weekend, here he is!🏆
Shane is an easy, enjoyable ride at all three gaits. Even though he’s on the smaller side, he has a big, ground-covering stride that makes him feel much larger than he is. He has beautiful walk-to-canter transitions both directions, is adjustable, moves willingly off your leg, and is happy to cruise on a loose rein. He’s also been learning to carry himself in a nice frame and is coming along wonderfully. He stops from a simple “whoa” or your seat, making him comfortable and confidence-inspiring to ride. 🤩
His brain is truly something special. Shane has happily packed around riders of every age and experience level, from beginners to advanced riders. He has the wisdom of an old soul and takes care of less experienced riders like a seasoned schoolmaster. For a four-year-old, we genuinely couldn’t ask for more. He has an incredible work ethic, loves having a job, and always walks out of his stall with his ears forward, ready to please. He’s been in training with both a dressage instructor and an eventing trainer, and everyone who meets him immediately adores him. He’ll quickly become the favorite in any barn.💚
Off property, Shane is exactly the same horse you know and love at home. He’s been hauled to shows, lessons, and countless trail rides without ever missing a beat. Whether he’s quietly walking through the woods on a loose rein or galloping across open fields, he’s always game. He’s confidently handled deer, dogs, hikers, bikers, tarps, flags, bridges, water crossings, traffic, and just about everything else you can imagine. He’ll happily swim in the lake, cross every creek, and head out alone or with a group without a second thought.✨
One trail ride perfectly sums up his character. A rider came off another horse miles from the trailer, and that horse immediately took off for home. Shane? He never even flinched. Instead, he calmly packed both riders all the way back to the trailer. If that doesn’t speak volumes about his mind, we don’t know what does. He really is THAT guy.🙌🏼
Shane was Champion at his very first hunter schooling show and has already completed his first starter trials with great scores in all three phases. We think he’d be an incredible match for an ambitious kid looking to show or an adult amateur wanting a fun, competitive partner. Whether you’re heading to a horse show, spending the afternoon trail riding, or taking a bareback swim at the lake, Shane is always ready for his next adventure with his ears happily pointed forward.
On the ground, Shane is just as lovable as he is under saddle. He’s polite, affectionate, and has excellent manners. Kids can easily catch him from the field, groom him, bathe him, and enjoy spending time with him. He’s a gentleman for the farrier, veterinarian, and dentist. He loves playing with his ball, investigates anything new with endless curiosity, and never says no to a cookie.💚
In the past, Shane had a less-than-talented farrier who left him quite toed-in. Since coming to us, he’s had corrective shoeing to improve his angles, and he’s looking fantastic. He loads and unloads the trailer like a pro, hauls quietly, gets along well with everyone in the pasture, and is an absolute pleasure to have around the barn.
We’ve had an incredible time with this little superstar, and saying goodbye won’t be easy. We know there’s a perfect home waiting for Shane, and we can’t wait to watch him continue to shine wherever his next adventure takes him.⭐️
