Additional Comments

Duke is a 2009 APHA and PtHA registered gelding that stands 17 hands. He has a show record with accolades a mile long and would be an absolute asset and joy to anyone's program.

Duke has APHA world and reserve world titles in Open English Pleasure HN Seat HN Type, Open English Pleasure HN Seat 5 and under, AM SR HUS, Driving, and Novice AM Equitation. He has been shown at the rated and local level in Hunter/Jumpers, Dressage, Ranch, and Working Equitation.... (read more) For a full list of show record and accomplishments, please don't hesitate to reach out, as we will gladly share everything that this cool gelding has done.

If you are an English rider or a jumper, don't pass over Duke because all I have are western photos. I forgot my camera on English day, but if you watch his video, you will see he is quite accomplished as an English HUS horse and as a hunter/jumper. Duke also drives! For those of you that either are stepping down from riding and want to double up in driving, or just have always dreamed of being able to drive a cart, Duke can do that for you too! He has the size and the movement, that with a little tune-up, he would be bringing home reserve and world championships in the show ring again!

Duke's accomplishments aren't reserved only for the arena and the show world. This cool gelding will trail ride and takes to new places like an old pro. He doesn't require any prep, he's the epitome of a confidence booster (you just have to get over his size) and the definition of a gentle giant; remember he's won championships with 5 and under riders! Duke will go in water, pull a log, carry around an inflatable ball, tolerate dogs running around his feet, and cross logs and ditches. He will trail ride with others, in front or in back, and he'll even trail ride out alone.

Duke is a really neat gelding that we have enjoyed having in our barn and can't wait to help him find his new placement. Current owner have had him for 5 years and are only selling due to a change of direction.

For your convenience, Duke has been pre-vetted with front feet and hock x-rays on file. Shoes are recommended due to a thin sole. No other maintenance at this time. Additional vetting is always welcome.
