Needy Nags
Chasing Gold is a 16.2 hand, 5 year old old gelding who ran
25 times in search of gold. He did fairly well, placing third or
better in 10 of his 25 starts. He is not done yet though! He is a
big-bodied Quarter Horse type with huge haunches. He is very
well mannered to handle and stands well for the farrier. Under
saddle, he usually carries his head fairly low and level. Gold
moves forward nicely off your leg and naturally reaches on to
the bit. His canter is a bit awkward, but he is learning to push
from behind rather than flatten out. He has just started to walk
and trot over poles. He is good natured and would happily work
at the trot all day for his rider. He is suitable for intermediate and
advanced riders. He will be suitable for dressage and low level
jumping in all disciplines. To adopt Chasing Gold, or for more

Gold is currently
located in Lexington, Kentucky.
