Description
Bashiru has been an extraordinary horse ever since we bought him as a three year old.. Bashiru had an incredible mind from the start. Alice started riding Bashiru in front of Alice when she was 1 year old. When Alice was ready to start riding on her own, Bashiru was the obvious choice. He took care of Alice from the first ride on, & as her riding skills progressed Bashiru has become more responsive to Alice, while still being very responsive to an experienced rider. Bashiru has never done one thing that concerned us of Alice’s safety. Bashiru can be laid off for months & he always catches up broke, soft & responsive. Bashiru is not lazy, he is incredibly gentle, super minded, & performs to the level of his riders ability. He has an incredible walk, & is smooth in all gates. Alice has ridden him on 4/ 20 mile cattle drives, as well as doing a lot of cattle work in & out of the pens, plus many shorter drives. The video’s of Bashiru says much more than I can ever communicate in words. The video is an absolutely honest picture of what Bashiru is. . He has been exposed to everything; Alice has ridden Bashiru doing ranch work, crossing rivers, wild life, deadfall timber, highway traffic, ridden all over town, ridden at night, ridden among loose horses, & even a 5 yr old can pony horses off of him, you name it Bashiru has been exposed to it with Alice riding him… Bashiru rides in either a bit or hackamore, good to catch anywhere, even in a herd of horses without grain. He will move off your leg for side passing & to open gates. Bashiru is an easy keeper, & has never coliced. If you are wanting a horse to teach your small child to ride so that you don’t have to worry about your child’s safety, plus something Mom or Dad can also enjoy riding , we encourage you to come & ride Bashiru, for a few hours or a couple of days. We are very proud to offer this beautiful gelding for sale to someone who will give him a great home, & hopefully teach some young children the total confidence & riding skills that he has taught our Daughter the last three years.
