Get to Know Adoptable Horse Golden



Golden is truly living up to his name, shining bright with each passing day. While he may have initially tested the waters with Wild at Heart’s riders, he’s quickly learning that they’re as resilient as they come. With each attempt to challenge, Golden finds himself met with unwavering determination from his riders, fostering a sense of trust and partnership.

As he continues to grow and learn, Golden is becoming more and more at ease in his surroundings. His confidence is steadily growing, replaced by a calm and focused demeanor that speaks volumes about his willingness to learn and adapt.

In the arena, Golden showcases his athleticism and talent, effortlessly navigating jumps up to 2’6″ with grace and precision. His flying changes may still need a bit of fine-tuning, but with the guidance of a skilled rider, he’s sure to excel.

Beyond the arena, Golden is a reliable companion on the trails, whether exploring solo or in the company of others. His easygoing nature and willingness to take on new challenges make him the perfect partner for riders of all levels.
