Ooph this is a hard one for me. I've decided to sell him. This is my dream horse that I, and others have put countless hours into his foundation to be an incredible well rounded forever horse. Use him for Classical Dressage or Working Equitation training and use him for horse camping, trails, Western dressage, hacking bareback in a halter or natural horsemanship while progressing his training. Bali is stunningly beautiful. I own him & look at his daily and I still say WOW to myself when I see him. He makes every ride FUN with his super smooth beautiful uphill movement & his " Yeah, Lets do it!" personality. I have an awful back with arthritis and many horse injuries from years past & I can take Bali on a 20 mile rocky mountain trail and not have my back hurt at all despite the usually jarring movements. It is the same with the arena, he has never hurt me. He goes horse camping, will hobble for mountain rides & stands all day like a gentleman. I am talking gnarly pucker up on the side of the mountain, step perfectly with each foot or we all die kind of mountain rides. You can ride him out from the property or haul him alone or in a group. He has lovely lateral work which comes easily to him. He is light in the face and works off of my seat beautifully. Additionally he is trained with a western reining handle so he is easy to guide and excels in Western Dressage. He has collection and extension in the trot and canter that feel smooth floaty and wonderful. You can ride him in a bosal, halter, snaffle or western shank bit (on the trail). He rides bareback like a dream and I do all of the arena work or trail riding with or without a saddle. He has so many hours desensitizing and training to be a horse that I can ride in the city, mountains, desert, show or be a complete idiot on and ride across freeways to through drive throughs because I'm hangry and need a cheeseburger (see videos). I live part time in a community that has loads of trails full of hikers with poles, road bikers, mountain bikers, runners, screaming kids, strollers and more. Bali is used to all of these including bikers and runners flying by/at you with their headphones in. He also isn't phased by motorcycles, four wheelers, tractor trailers, big rigs, traffic dirt bikes, deer, elk, etc (see videos). He has never been off or lame a day in his life nor had any colic or tying up fits. He has always been a healthy, hearty boy. He has a clean set of current X-rays and a PPE with clean blood work. Bali was supposed to be my working equitation horse. His small stature combined with his movement and athleticism will go a long way in the dicipline. He has a wonderful western smooth jog and lope as well. He is used to hauling across states and going horse camping. He truly is an all around that at his young age can be honed in whichever dicipline you choose. To an excellent vetted home only. He is a one in a million h
