Rue

2008, 14.1hh, Bay, Quarter horse-cross Gelding.

Rue, our bottle-fed orphan, is a kind and extremely personable fellow who demonstrates some above average movement for his smaller frame and refined confirmation.

As Rue has been well socialized with humans since birth, he has been a joy to work with in the barn and throughout the tacking up, grooming, lounging and backing process of his second and third year.

Rue demonstrates surprising lofty and ground covering gaits for his 14.1hh frame; in essemce, warmblood-like paces within a compact package. Rue's canter is very balanced on the lunge line and under saddle at this early stage of his training with enough 'uphill' and 'jump' to it's quality that he will easily score well in his future dressage tests.

Within his mixed pedigree, Rue shows lovely shoulder freedom in trot, correct confirmation and an overall presence and way of going, predisposing him toward becoming a lovely amateur dressage mount for a smaller female and or junior rider.
