Stats: 8-y/o bay stallion, 16 hands
Location: S. Ohio
Description: “Credit” is a chestnut 2004 thoroughbred gelding who is 16.2 hands. “Credit” is a great example of modern sport horse build and talent. He is a very motivated worker and thrives in an environment where he is always learning. Credit is currently working training level dressage, and has started over fences (which he loved!) He is light in the bridle, and easy off the leg. He has a great personality and is a great horse to have in the barn.
