Cisco 8yr old Devils Garden Buckskin Gelding.

Pros: Leads, loads, ties, saddles, bridles, bathes, picks up all 4 feet, hard rock crunching hooves! Goes over obstacles, crosses water and bridges, has been ponied on trail rides. Sweet and personable once he gets to know you. Easy to catch. Has the most comfortable slow trot! More woah than go.

History: He was started in January by a friend. She is from up north so she came to Texas for 2 months to train her since it’s so cold up there.... (read more) She had him doing really well at a walk and trot. She never loped him under saddle. He never bucked with a rider when she started him. I got him back and rode him several times in the arena and round pen with no issues. I took him camping and I ponied him the first 2 days. He was great. Could not have asked for better. The 3rd day I rode him. He did great at the beginning of the ride and I had zero issues. We rode several miles and he was fine. We came up a pretty steep sandy river bank and he went into a lope to get up it then broke in two. I have not ridden him since. My plan was to send him back to another trainer but he cut himself and I had to get him healed up first and one thing led to another and I didn’t get to send him. I started working with him again but sometimes he blows up when I saddle him. Other times it’s no big deal. Idk. I don’t want to portray him as a broke horse at this point but he was doing good up until that point. He just needs more time at a professional trainer. I don’t have the time or extra funds to get him where he needs to be. I think he will make a fantastic trail horse. Nothing on the trail fazes him. His feet are tough as nails. Walks across rocks like they aren’t even there! I can send the videos and pictures I have if you are interested. Price is negotiable.
