Pinto-Wallach

With a heavy heart, I am selling my 7-year-old Pinto gelding (hunter type). I have to admit that we are not a good match when it comes to riding.

Training:

He is worked in leisure riding with dressage elements, learns very quickly, and shows a lot of talent. He already masters lateral movements in walk, and shoulder-in and leg-yield have been introduced in trot. Overall, he is approximately at A-level dressage. He can also be ridden by beginners, but he requires a steady contact and engagement from the rider to go nicely.

He has also been jumped by his previous owner.

Groundwork is his particular strength—whether classical groundwork, Natural Horsemanship, lunging, liberty work, or small tricks, he enthusiastically participates in everything.

In the field, he behaves very well in a group; alone, he can be a bit unsure at faster gaits.

Temperament:

He is a gentle, affectionate gelding with a lot of personality! He is dominant within the herd and may test new people initially.

He tends to be more sensitive to his environment and can react fearfully in new situations (a quick jump to the side or a few canter strides), but he remains controllable at all times.

Because of this, he can sometimes be challenging in terms of handling, but after a few months, it was no longer an issue for me and my riding partner.

He does not buck or bite.

Health & Care:

A pre-purchase exam including X-rays from January 2024 is available and can be viewed.

He is barefoot with good hoof material, requiring no shoeing or hoof boots.

Currently kept in a herd in an open stable with 24/7 hay access, but he is also familiar with box stall housing.

Teeth were done in May 2025. Regular deworming and vaccinations are up to date.

He tends to water colic.

He has several sarcoids (chest, face, armpits) and auricular plaques. This currently does not affect him, and according to veterinarians, treatment is possible. I am happy to provide personal details about this.

He is being sold well below value because of this.

Additional information:

For trial riding, I ask for a fee of 30 EUR to prevent riding tourism. This amount will be credited upon purchase. Multiple visits and getting to know each other are welcome.

Equipment can be purchased separately (saddle, blankets, bridle, etc.).

I am selling him as a leisure horse; no sales to dealers! Of course, a new pre-purchase exam can be arranged by the buyer.
