Not many times, will you find a horse offered for consideration on a professional platform that has been owned by one person their entire career, let alone an individual that packs a resume that you will hear directly from the "horses mouth" - but here he is!... (read more)
I want to introduce a very good friend of mine, Ima Smart Cable Lena aka “Roanie”
This 14.2h 2011 model AQHA red roan gelding is a familiar individual to me. I’ve known this horse since he was 4 years old, and I had the pleasure of taking care of him in my early career as well.
If you could scour the earth to put together all the intricate pieces to make the perfect non pro versatility horse, you still wouldn’t be able to build a better option than this guy right here. The textbook definition of experience, Roanie packs all the education as a finished reiner, low level cutter, cowhorse, and ranch rider. Oh, and he’s also been roped on!
He was trained by professional horseman Jim McCutcheon, who is notorious for getting a horse confidently trained in the reining & is an exceptional guy to ride behind- but what many people don’t know about Jim is that he is also throughly educated in the cutting & cowhorse as well! Another cool thing about Jim is his routine: he will spend a Monday loping all of his horses outside, flag them on another day, circle and change leads another, haul to different arenas, and gradually build a degree of difficulty throughout the week to keep his horses mentally & physically locked in…. so it’s safe to say Roanie received some of the finest education in multiple facets of the western performance world throughout his many years of meticulous care in Jim’s barn. This horse has a handle & experience like no other. He has been successfully SHOWN in the reining, cowhorse, stock horse, AND cutting pen in the open & amateur classes. Roanie is easy to operate, & is incredibly thoughtful with everything he does. He is comfortable at all gaits, has a solid stop, spin, lead change, extended trot, side pass, etc. Roanie is expressive & willing over obstacles~ is traffic safe, keeping a level head in the heat of battle.
In more recent years,
Roanie was ridden by NCHA Professional, Jose Cruz, spending his days being extensively hauled, cut & turned back on. He was the go to practice horse, and was THE turnback gelding to take to town! You can guarantee if there’s a job to be done & a need for reliable individual to step up to the plate- Roanie is happy to assist! The last few months, he’s been legged up in all of his reining maneuvers, has been schooled over trail & ranch riding patterns, and has boxed and worked out of the herd in the last month.
This gelding is highly trained, very cowy, and is a push style ride- but equally packs a lot of horsepower that will continue to make him a great teammate & competitor in many different avenues!
This isn’t some washed up show horse.
Roanie has absolutely no funny business to him. No buck, bolt, rear, kick, and is one you can turn out with other horses, or keep up in a stall with no trouble. He is NOT spoiled, NOT buddy/barn sour, and is VERY respectful…. outside of his passion for the occasional neck scratches. I call this guy the undercover ham, because he absolutely LOVES attention but you would never know until you give it to him. Roanie is the picture of a perfect boyfriend… definitely came from good parents, is college educated, reliable, and so much fun!! If he could get the door for you he sure would!
Another incredibly special thing about this gelding is his inept soundness.
For a fact, he has ONLY had his hocks injected once as a 4 year old - and was kept barefoot unless sliders were needed. He requires NO maintenance & is as solid as they come! He has a current vet statement, current CLEAN x rays, & sells with a completely spotless bill of health. Click Here to view Full Set of X-Rays. You can buy this guy with CONFIDENCE, knowing this horse has been loved and respected as an important member of the family.
I love this guy and you will too!
