Tailors Frst Impression (Tug)

Tug is a 22-year-old APHA Paint gelding (Tailors Frst Impression), a chestnut tobiano standing 15.3hh, offered for $1,000 negotiable out of Ellensburg, Washington. He spent many years as a head horse in team roping and was also used for breakaway roping, poker rides, and extensive trail riding, and the seller describes him as level-headed even after long periods off. He's cowy and could suit ranch work, loads and hauls well, is good for the farrier, and is easy around kids, dogs, and other horses. He's an easy keeper on minimal pasture but does get sore in front and would not currently pass a vet check, though he responds well to low-level bute (injections/Equioxx have not been tried). The seller considers him suitable for an intermediate rider as he currently stands, with the potential to be beginner-friendly again with more regular riding.

Seller states he gets sore in the front and "wouldn't pass a vet check," but responds well to a low maintenance level of bute. Injections or Equioxx have not been tried but could be considered. He is an easy keeper best kept on minimal pasture, loads/hauls/unloads well, and is good for the farrier.
