Juniper is a friendly, easy-going gentleman who has taken everything calmly in stride
since arriving at the farm in April. He is well-mannered for both the vet and farrier and is currently in front shoes (we are working toward keeping him barefoot).
He gets along well with mares and geldings, and he is currently turned out in a mixed herd during the day, and spends his nights in the barn. He has also done well in a run-in situation. Juniper is the ultimate gentleman – he’s very sweet, polite, and loves to connect with his people. He will meet you at the gate and dip his nose right in the halter to go on a walk around the farm or practice liberty work in the arena.
We are currently working on building his strength before we ask him to carry a rider, though we know he was ridden lightly in his previous home. We are hopeful he will be happy doing light riding with the right partner, but more to come as we continue his fitness program and evaluation!
