RUBEN needs an experienced Rider and one that knows mules because he is still learning. He is 10 years old but has the experience of a 5 year old. He needs time and experiences. Videos of him riding down the road.. TARP... LEAF Blower...him running down the road.. ect. He crosses water.. vehicles don't bother him, dogs don't seem to bother him.

A search of horses for sale in Kentucky can turn up sport horses, ranch horses, trail horses and breeding stock, and the filters on this page help you compare them by breed, age, price and location, whether you want a gaited trail horse, a Thoroughbred, a Quarter Horse or a pony.
Horses for Sale in Lexington, Louisville and Across the State
To look for horses for sale in Lexington KY or horses for sale in Louisville KY, enter the city or county in the City / County box, or browse farms and small towns across the state. Narrow the listings by breed, gender, age, height, color, discipline and price, and open a seller’s profile to see everything they have for sale. The state is also the birthplace of gaited breeds such as the Rocky Mountain Horse and the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse, and the American Saddlebred is closely associated with Kentucky too.
Buying a Horse in Kentucky
Price depends on the individual horse rather than the state, so compare similar horses before you make an offer, and ride a gaited horse before you buy to confirm that its gait is comfortable for you. If you are buying from out of state, ask the seller about the health paperwork required to cross state lines, get quotes for hauling, and agree a trial ride and a pre-purchase veterinary exam before you commit. Compare horses by age, training and temperament, ask for photos and video, and contact the seller through the listing to arrange a visit before you decide. Use the Discipline filter if you need a trail, pleasure or show horse, and the Gender filter for mares, geldings or stallions. Looking for something else?
