Charlie is a 2019-titled BLM Mustang from the Palomino Buttes OR HMA. He is looking for his next home and would excel in either arena work or out on the trail. Charlie is a steady, easy, and enjoyable ride. He loves the trail and goes out confidently by himself or with a group. He also rides well in the arena, is attentive to his rider, and is well educated. Charlie is a reliable and kind gelding, but he can be watchy on the ground and would do well with a confident and experienced owner. He is a quick learner and does best in consistent work. He is very well built with good feet, is sound barefoot, and is an easy keeper. Come meet Charlie and make him your next partner!
