Consigned by Rachel Ahtila: Blue: 16'3 Hand 2011 Draft Cross Gelding: ​This handsome 2011 Blue Roan is a Quarter Horse on his top side, and stunning minded Draft Cross from his dam. He’s a 16.3 HH big mover with a walk that will get you places. He comes to a whistle and grain, lowers his head to halter and bridle and stands to saddle alike. He’s sucker for a scratch without being pushy. Let the kids ride this big boy, or an inexperienced rider- and he will walk off nicely either way. He has packed and be rode out as a lead saddle horse in the mountains, travelled beside a busy highway, and taken down the backroads. He can collect and work his leads and gaits in the arena without missing a beat. He’s had some experience working cattle, and I’ve just started roping off him- to which he seems to take everything in stride. He’s no stranger to dogs, and between myself and the last owner, has been hunted with and lived around high energy cougar hounds to no shyness. He loads and backs out of the trailer like a gentleman. He’s sound and shod, to which I have a farrier that can vouch for his history. He’s a flashy horse that can be kicked out and brought in six months later and go down the trail without buck or bolt. This January, after six months of turn out, was asked to walk off in a snowy and blistery windy day, and it didn’t phase him. He’s an uncomplicated mount that can be ridden with a saddle or bareback. He’s no stranger to water and enjoys a cool dip on a hot day! Leading up to the sale he will be used for ponying colts, and a few quick hunting trips. If you are looking for a horse with character and the chrome to match his easy demeanour, please send me a message and I’d love to tell you about this handsome horse named ‘Blue’.
