Offered for your consideration— Alchemy aka Midas is a 4 year old QH cross gelding that is ready to be your next sport horse. Currently standing at 15 hands with a bit of growing left to do, he makes up for his height with an enormous step, natural balance, and an exceptional jump. He is brave, athletic and incredibly fun to ride with the kind of personality that makes him a barn favorite.

He is the first to greet you in the field and thrives on attention. Midas lives out 24/7 in a mixed herd, is an easy keeper and is currently barefoot. He stands well for the vet and farrier, trailers, cross-ties, bathes, and is well-mannered on the ground.

Under saddle Midas is sensitive but sensible and respectable of a 1/2 halt. He appreciates a correct ride and goes well in just a rubber snaffle in and out of the arena. He absolutely loves cross-country and hacks out well, making him an excellent prospect for eventing or even fox-hunting. His jump is naturally expressive and powerful, and he shows all the signs of developing into a very competitive partner.

This is not your husband, grandma, or kid’s first horse. He is best suited for a confident teen or capable adult who wants a talented young horse to develop and bring up the levels. He is eager to work, loves having a job and truly shines when he has his own person.

We would happily keep him in our program but he is special and deserves someone of his own to continue his development.

TVE took seven horse-and-rider teams out for our first cross-country schooling of the year, and what a way to start the season.

Every pair brought their A-game, tackled new questions, and left more confident than they came. We also checked out a new-to-us venue and let’s just say… it won’t be our last visit.

Huge thanks to Setters’ Run Farm & Dream Big Slowly Farm for having us!
