Bildhübsche Herausforderung sucht Endplatz

With a heavy heart, I am seeking a lifelong home for my Icelandic gelding. He currently lives with five mares and gets along well with all of them. However, he cannot be kept in a mixed herd. He requires either a herd of geldings or to be the only gelding in a herd of mares. Initially, he may attempt to breed, but he quickly loses interest after the first excitement. My herd is calm, and he does not escalate conflicts with others.

He lives here in an open stable with year-round pasture access during the summer. He has been ridden, but during the winter months, he is almost unrideable. Usually, riding is possible in the summer, but occasional "blips" can occur, and he may buck unexpectedly.

He has been ground-trained (TGT) and sometimes tests boundaries during winter work sessions. He enjoys grooming and being pampered; he also likes cuddling. One of the photos was taken with me during my last pregnancy.

I initially wanted to keep him, but due to health reasons, I am now looking for a permanent home for him.

I am seeking a place where he can simply be a horse or where someone open to a challenge without expectations can care for him.

Since he was previously sold and I re-acquired him 2.5 years ago, I am now looking for a final, long-term home where his limitations can be consistently accommodated.
