Reg. QH gelding for sale in IA

I am located in part of the flood area in Iowa and need to sell my qh to come up with some money to make needed repairs to my house. If we end up getting funding from FEMA or another source I figured I would buy a Pally I've been checking into here or another horse if the Pally is sold before I have the money.

My qh, Rusty, is a reg. 14 yo QH gelding that is well broke. He's about 15.1 hh, sorrel with a blaze and 2 white socks. I have had him about 2-3 years. He is traffic safe and great on trails. He will ride in the front, middle or back, doesn't mind water at all, stands great for the farrier and for saddling/mounting. You can walk up to him in the pasture with halter in hand. He's current on his shots, worming, and feet trimming.

I had him to a trainer a month ago to help him "lock on" a bit more since he has been a bit stand offish and that has helped. Another trainer told me Rusty's standoffishness is my problem not Rusty's. A trainer has also worked on getting him to load in the trailer better (he wasn't bad but it was annoying) and he has been loading great. He has had a problem with shots (yearly vacs) in the past; however, the trainer worked with him and thinks he will take a shot fine now.

I will provide phone numbers for my vet, farrier and the trainer who recently worked with him. I previously considered selling him because we hadn't been able to connect, that is a bit better now but I need money to buy repair materials now.

Please pm me if you have any questions or are interested in him.

These pics aren't the greatest but here they are:

Thanks! Rusty is a nice boy. I'm hoping I can get him sold quickly without having to nearly give him away as we really need the money.

We got an estimate just to repair/replace the drywall and it was $3000 Thankfully I found some things at the Habitat for Humanity Restore yesterday but am using bill money to buy repair items and have lost 4 days without pay at work. This could easily cost us $5000 - 8000 That is so-o-o much better than those that lost all of their possessions; however, when you're struggling financially anyway, it could be devastating.

I have been watching this on the news, and it is sooo awful. If it makes me feel helpless all these many miles away, I can only imagine how it makes all of you feel...

More ((((((((((HUGS)))))))) and you know you have our prayers..

Anyone interested - Lowered to $2750

Bumping. Doesn't anyone know of someone who needs a good trail horse???

He really is a great horse! I would take $2750 for him since we need the money quickly and that really is a good deal.

Have you made an ad for him? That would help you reach more people who are shopping in your area.

He sounds like a nice horse!

Quilting - I just had a lady sell my spaz gelding for me. She took a small commission but did all the work. She's in Marion and if you want her number, send me a pm. She might be able to move him quicker than placing an ad. Just a thought...

Thanks! On Sunday I'm taking Rusty to the lady Sherik mentioned. I'm praying she can get Rusty sold and end up with a little bit of cash to fix up our basement and save the rest for another horse.

We were approved for a very small amount from FEMA. It won't cover hardly anything but to purchase the drywall, but anything is better than nothing I'm sure God will provide whatever else we need when we need it
