Marin is my 9 year old, 5.2 hand American Paint Horse. He has successfully gone novice (second place at Ram Tap last year) and schooled at training. He is a very gifted, easy fellow, and easy keeper all around. Willing, smart, and patient. Lovely gaits and he jumps really nicely.

He trains at my barn, Kismet Farms, in Martinez. Leaser would need to train with Tracy Bowman, the trainer there. A fun, easy going barn! Leaser pays one half board and all other upkeep (shoes, vet bills, grain, blanketing, etc.) for three days of riding each week. I am looking for a reliable fellow adult amateur who would enjoy this special horse. He can take you to training and we are hopeful he will get to prelim one day. Great for someone riding at beginner novice or novice. Not for someone just starting to ride. You can compete and school x-c country on him if you want.

I have attached photos. If yahoo doesn’t translate them, contact me at lnipps@... to take a look. Or call me at 925-914-1212. Marin is awesome!
