From Trainer Aspen Lyons:
 
Luke is up for adoption!
 
This is Luke he is a1 year old gelding who is looking for his forever home. Luke has already done some shows and has placed in smaller areas such as in hand showmanship and in hand ground poles! he also stood tied all day without any fight and handled it so good, he also gets along with other horses really fast and is super sweet! I could talk about him forever but instead I'll just everything he knows and what he's he's good at!
leading
backing
getting caught in a big pasture
lunging
obstacles
getting hooves trimmed
liberty
being cuteLuke knows all of this and some more!
 
One of my favorite things about him though it he respects pressure. Though we do a lot of scary things he might freak out for a second but as soon as their is pressure he's done. He has had a kid go out to get him in a big herd and she got him with just a lead rope and no halter! he is a pro at loading on a trailer I believe that anyone can handle him a 11 year old has even worked with him and he was an angel!
 
If you are looking for a horse that is willing to do anything that you can build an unbreakable bond with Luke is yours! I think he would be good as an all rounder when old enough and while young he is such a good boy! even if you're looking for your kid he is perfectly his safe! So make sure you stop by Lennox this weekend August 22nd to 23rd and watch him show and maybe even adopt him! make sure if you come to adopt you fill out the application before hand that you can find on either Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue or Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge !
