Description:
Have you been searching for a big, trustworthy, goofy gelding to call your own?
Check out Sampson! Sampson is an impressive 16.1h four year old Suffolk Punch gelding. Originating in Suffolk, England, Suffolk Punch horses are considered one of the rarest draft breeds in the U.S.
Owning Sampson this past year has been an absolute joy! He never has a bad day - rain, snow, or shine, he's the first to meet you at the pasture gate, the first to stick his head out of the stall, and the first one ready to hop on the trailer to head for the trail. The perfect partner for Sampson is someone who wants to piddle around the arena, haul out to some trails, a local show here and there or even a hunter pace or two!
Under saddle, Sampson rides very true to your leg. He collects in the bridle and gives his face nicely, easily maneuvers off your seat and leg, has a nice little neck rein, easy transitions and good breaks. One of my favorite things about the way he rides is that he is light moving and agile for a draft horse. He is not heavy footed or rough to ride.
His personality is what will really win you over... He is absolutely an 'in your pocket' kind of horse and is the type that is way more interested in people than other horses.. if he sees you, he's booking it to the gate or fence for some attention. He stands like a statue to be groomed, tacked, and bathed and loves to stare out the wash rack window during his baths! Although he is big, he is absolutely safe and gentle enough for anyone to handle.
If you'd like to come out to meet Sampson before the sale and go for a ride, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
