Tacoma is a super gentle young horse with the friendliest, most curious personality - he is a complete pet. He has lots of trail miles all around the ranch and out in the forests of Idaho so he's not fazed by much. He loves people and just wants to be everyone's friend.

Tacoma is the kind of horse that everyone can ride. He can take you out on trail one day and carry your kids around the next. Under saddle he takes everything at the ranch in stride.... (read more) He's been adjusting to our ground work program and learning that he can't actually be in your pocket all the time - and that even if he tests, he won't get away with it. He loves a leisurely trail ride and has also proven himself to be a nice arena horse too. We feel like he could go in pretty much any direction you’d like.

For a young horse we feel Tacoma is about as husband safe and kid safe as you can get. He does great with deep water crossings, tarps, balls, dogs, cars, tractors, coyotes, dirt bikes, motorcycles, quads or anything else we have walked him over or thrown at him. In the arena he collects, side passes, has a great stop and easily picks up his leads.Our 6 year old can trailer load him, wash him, touch him anywhere, and walk him all around the ranch. He is the same dependable guy day in and day out whether in cold, rain, wind and even with time off after a quick groundwork session. He has been ridden by beginners and has patiently babysat every rider on different trails, on the road and in the arena.

Tacoma is perfect if you're looking for a horse that will babysit your non horsey friends, take you out on trail or around the ranch, and then let your kids ride him around the arena. He's just a great all around guy.

Tacoma has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. No maintenance.
