Halston is a true gentleman and gem of a stallion. He has a cuddly “teddy bear” personality and is kind and generous. He is revised for breeding with both ANCCE and IALHA but would also make a perfect gelding. He is easy to handle around other horses, polite and friendly, and loves to go out on the trail! He is comfortable going both english and western, is not fussy about the type of bit he wears, and is experienced in a hackamore. He has comfortable gaits and a very willing attitude. Easy to trailer and would love to be your best friend and partner in all adventures. He does have notable hock arthritis that may be resolved by fusing so we are accepting offers. He would make an excellent light riding horse and breeding stallion. The arthritis is from a foal injury. He has a fabulous full pre filly and iberian warmblood colt on the ground. Photos and video available. Gentleman to handle in the breeding shed.
He attended his first show, the IALHA national championship in November 2021 and earned Champion Sport Horse under saddle, Reserve Champion in dressage suitability and a Reserve Championship in hunt seat open. His full sister is the dam of 2 National Champions and National Best Movement winners. Halston is currently schooling first and second level.
