Exxtop aka Tank is a handsome 16h bay Thoroughbred gelding with a heart of gold. Tank has excellent ground manners, is a pleasure under saddle, and has an awesome personality. Tank has been with us since he finished racing last September 2023 and has since had 5 months off to relax before being restarted in Feb 2024. Tank is going in a D ring snaffle, has simple shoes up front, and is a pretty easy keeper. Under saddle, he us a really good listener and has been a quick learner while training in his new career. Tank currently is doing the 2’6”-3’ job with minimal need for correction. His lead changes are there in both directions as long as he remains straight after the jump. He is the "always go" type from any distance. He responds well to challenges and is very brave. He also enjoys trail riding and post training ride walks.
His best friend is a dog named Tarzan who always runs up and down the fence line while he canters perfectly, not a spook in sight. Tarzan likes to lie with Tank while Tank grazes after rides. Tank would make an amazing horse for a kid looking to move from the 2’ to the 2’6”+. He would also make an amazing family horse, as anyone can get on him, whether you have ridden before or not.
