This is Handsome Lad, AKA Willy.
2001 APHA Sorrel Overo stallion FOR SALE!!!
Due to a conflict in personalities between Willy and another horse we own we are considering finding a new home for Willy.
Willy is a very versatile horse. He has been worked extensively in harness and can drive double and single. He has been used for pulling firewood in the woods and shovel harrowing in the garden. He's pulled stuck cars out of mud and packed deer out of the woods in hunting season. He's worked single pulling our buggy and in a team in our wagonette. He is easy-going and gentle. He's very steady, quiet, and is completely traffic safe. Enough so that I am comfortable letting a competent 10-year-old drive him.
He rides English and Western (and bareback). He's done a lot of trail riding, a little jumping, and some working cattle. The kids have taken him swimming in the river, to check trap lines, and have ridden him while standing on his back. We haven't shown him, but he was shown as a yearling before we got him and from what I understand, he did well. His sire is a Supreme Halter Champion.
He is completely sound in wind and limb (and in every other way for that matter). He trailers well and is easy to load. He ground ties, he's good with his feet, he's easy to catch, and is overall well mannered when in hand. If you are interested in him you can call us at 315-268-0870 for more info. Asking price: $10,000.
One of the things we love about Willy: He has an awesome temperament.
Here is our 6-year-old son riding him bareback.
The girls love to ride Willy to check the sheep. Chores can be fun!!!
The kids are thrilled to drive Willy to church!!! It so much more fun than going in the van!
