Pinto Paso Fino gelding

Cody is looking for a rider experienced with Paso Fino Brio. He is small but mighty. 14HH with shoes, but would not need them if you have front boots. He is 18- I tracked down his breeder- but his legs are clean, and his heart and lungs never stop him. I bought him 11 months ago, to give me 10 years of riding, and have done my best, but he is too much for a woman in her 70's. Leasing a trail-horse seems like a better option for me now, so I'm willing to consider any offers to the right home, with a "right of first refusal" clause. He is in Palo Alto.
