Available for adoption from The American Saddlebred Legacy Foundation, Inc. in Kentucky, American Saddlebred SH Admiral Blacklaw is as sweet as the day is long. Kind, willing, and smart, this 6-year-old gelding is full of potential. He is quick learner and ready to start training for groundwork and under saddle. SH Admiral Blacklaw will make a phenomenal partner and likely could be a great beginner, kid horse or lesson horse one day soon with the right training. While he may be smaller in size, he makes up for it with his heart and mind. Price is negotiable for the right home.
