Additional Comments

This is one SOLID gelding that stays fat on air and has the kind of feet you’d want to sell pics of on OnlyFans. Completely barefoot and hardly requires a trim as he currently sits.

Hudson here was sold to a family as a beginner horse that has thousands of miles of ranch experience, only to turn out it’s not that great of a fit. I can see the reasons why he was sold as such, but I think he is bored in the arena. From what I gather, this is a rock pounding kind of trail horse or a straight up work animal.... (read more) He has the world’s comfiest gaits, a soft little neck rein and a decent stop/backup, which leads me to believe he was someone’s main mount for a while. He’s not going to lope pretty circles but he rides outside nicely and has a smooth, upbeat walk without being hot. Not a watchy or spooky horse by any means, I felt totally safe on him. Think he flinched once at a distant loud noise. I actually quite like this gelding, he is an absolute gentleman on the ground and loves attention.

The ugly… and the quirks.
Homeboy here has an ugly sarcoid situation going on, including under his left front elbow area which has me recommending a soft fleece cinch for him. Per current owner, has not gotten worse in the time she has owned him.

Going to be best suited for a confident, intermediate+ rider. I’m not saying you have to be aggressive or know how to ride a buck, but he does have a tick of an attitude problem that can be easily corrected by someone who knows how to just stick it to one a couple of times. I’m happy to elaborate. I personally would love to see him go be someone’s day-working horse, or someone’s main mount for the trails who doesn’t like to ride in the arena. Been told he 'might' have experience as a head horse - I do not rope so can't verify, but you are welcome to take him and try him on cattle.
