To ride him is to love him! COMET is a 2008, 15.2-hand heavy-built red roan dream horse. He is fancy broke, quick, responsive, athletic, hard-working, and focused. He wants to please and will do ANYTHING you ask.... (read more) You’ll never enjoy a trail ride more than on the back of this beauty. He has a ton of leg and bone and is solid, sane, and sound in every way. He has great feet and has been barefoot since I’ve owned him, but I just got a new set of shoes on him for this. He’s UTD on shots, teeth, and worming. He is one tough mountain horse and extremely sure-footed in any terrain. Ride him alone to check fences, collect a stray pair in a hailstorm at night, or mosey with friends on a sunny trail ride to enjoy the views. He has done everything there is to do on a ranch, and Comet will give you his all, all day long, every day. My best story about riding Comet is from a brisk day last spring. We still had a lot of snow on the ground, but you could hear the creeks beginning to wake up deep beneath the snow and ice. I pointed Comet down the side of a steep ravine. He slid down, but when we landed at the bottom, the ice shelf beneath us gave way with a tremendous CRRRAACCKKKK and began to float downstream!

I braced for the inevitable explosion any horsewoman would expect in such a situation. Still, Comet crouched like a cutter, rode the ice like a skateboard, and when it came to rest a few yards downstream, calmly stepped out the other side and climbed the opposite embankment: no panic, no drama, no ice bath for me. The only negative about Comet, and we are breaking our hearts by parting with him, is that he can be rough on other geldings in a mixed herd. With mares alone or with geldings alone, he is a gentleman who puts them together and wants to be the main man. Located in Fishtail, MT. Come out and ride Comet; I’m confident you’ll take him home.
