November's horse of the month is the mighty
✨ Maverick✨
Maverick is a 15hh, 7 year old draft cross. Bred in Alberta he made his way to the island then eventually to us in the fall of 2024, and is really starting to settle into our program.
Maverick is not inherently mighty. He is a sensitive soul and can be a bit skeptical but his curiosity gets the better of him, helping him to overcome his fears one step at a time. As he matures, each time he comes back to something he is just a little bit more brave and a little more confident until he owns it and that, my barn friends, is what makes him mighty.
He is great for our riders who benefit from a little less barrel movement from the horse, and while he is thick and sturdy he's not too taxing on tight hips...with a smooth sitting trot to boot! He is very straightforward and does exactly what our riders ask of him -nothing more, nothing less.
He loves trotting through the forest (I think that is in almost everyone's bio...what can I say, it's a popular activity), playing in the river (except when the fish touch him), and launching himself around during liberty play sessions.
Maverick is an amazing addition and investment into our program, and we are looking forward to many years with him.
