Get to Know Adoptable Horse Flag Bearer
Meet your new best friend! “Bear” is the kindest gentleman you’ll encounter. He’ll accompany you wherever you need to go. He’s a steadfast citizen with a reliable mind, always eager to please. Appropriate for an advanced rider, Bear is sound and sane under saddle. He responds to all transitions and lead changes; he was in the dressage ring for a couple years before Serenity Oaks took him in. He easily could go back to showing in dressage or be your next trail horse; he really can go whichever way you want to take him. He will go out alone or with a friend—he’s not buddy-sour.
Bear gets along well in both large and small herds, with mares or geldings. Currently, Bear enjoys 24/7 turnout with two other geldings. Bear loads, cross-ties, and is well behaved during visits from the farrier and veterinarian. Bear will stall with no issues. Bear is big and can be pushy sometimes, so he needs a strong but kind handler. He’s really an in-your-pocket kind of guy!
