Lusitano-gecruyst paard - Geweldig recreatie- en grondwerkpaard

A Charismatic Lusitano Cross – Excellent Leisure & Groundwork Horse Seeks Loving Home!

Description:
With a heavy heart, due to personal reasons (changing life circumstances), I am looking for the perfect new home for my 15-year-old Lusitano cross gelding. He stands at 15.7 hh, barefoot, robust, and is truly a heart horse with a straightforward, people-oriented personality.  
Currently, I lack the time to give him the physical activity he needs, so I am seeking a kind-hearted person for whom riding is not the top priority, but rather enjoying quality time and versatile groundwork.

His Strengths & Personality Traits:  
Very people-focused, highly curious, well-behaved, familiar with children and dogs.

Everyday Handling:  
Absolutely easygoing with the veterinarian and farrier.

Stabling & Living Conditions:  
Lower in the herd hierarchy, very easy to get along with. He is currently kept in a paddock with other geldings in a herd of open-stall turnout. This is a requirement for his new home (no exclusive box stall housing).

Under Saddle & Out & About:  
He is familiar with indoor arenas, outdoor riding spaces, and terrain (primarily ridden bitless in these areas). On gravel paths, he wears hoof boots.

Health & Riding Potential:  
He has a diagnosed osteoarthritis in both hock joints. Due to a longer training break, he currently carries a bit more weight around his ribs.

Important to Know:  
He is not a non-ridable horse but requires a tailored, consistent training regime and good feed management.  
Calm rides, walks, as well as extensive groundwork and lunging are all easily manageable and even beneficial for his joints and overall condition.

Who We Are Looking For:  
He is an Iberian with sensitive instincts and can be quite opinionated, typical for his breed. Therefore, he is not suitable for beginners. He seeks an experienced, clear, and loving handler who is consistent and patient. Once he trusts you, he will gladly follow and go through fire for his person.

He is not a decorative companion horse but is looking for someone who enjoys actively engaging with him—groundwork, clicker training, handwork, relaxed rides in the terrain.

Accessories & Conditions:  
His suitable saddle and other familiar equipment can be provided at a fair additional cost.

Placement is more important than price – I am looking for a loving, permanent home.

If you are genuinely interested, I would appreciate a message briefly describing how his potential new home would look.

More detailed info gladly available via personal message.
