Joker

 
              

Joker aka "Gabe" was so cute when he was a little guy! He was always friendly and curious.

This two -year old gelding is double-linebred Skipper W and has the looks and conformation to prove it, topped off with a friendly, calm disposition, inherited from his sire
Desert Skippa. Gabe has great ground manners and skills and has been started under saddle. We are working him in the pen and taking him out for trail rides. He is going extremely well. Asking $2250.

The three pictures of Gabe below were taken 8/16/11--first, doing some groundwork, and then, after I rode him in the pen (working on his gait transitions and starting two-tracking), following me around an open meadow across the highway from our place. The next step will be riding him to the meadow by himself, away from the other horses.

But--his favorite place is the back yard; heading there now.
