Let me show you the coolest, fanciest little Grey gelding that we’re very proud to offer for sale! John sure is quite the special little horse that I’ve really enjoyed working with for the last couple years and he’s one of the smartest horses I’ve had in my program! John is an 8 yr old grade dapple grey Quarter Horse gelding that stands right at 14.3 hands and is very thick made with very good confirmation and is very correct.... (read more) John is very well broke to ride both English and western with countless hours of training in the arena and many miles outside on trails, fields and dirt roads and also been on busy highways and doesn’t mind traffic at all. He does very well on the trails by himself or in groups and he has been hauled to some state parks and does very well, he’ll cross creek, logs and is good with wildlife. He’s one that is fun to ride out in open country and is a very pretty mover, he will do any kind of ranch chores you would like and is very willing to do so, check fences sort cattle, work the gates you name it he’ll do it and he’s gentle enough to end the day with giving your kids or grand kids a fun ride around the place! Now let me tell you about all the training he’s had in the arena as well, John is very soft and supple in all his body parts, he knows the leg cues and he’s very willing and does not make a fuss when asked, he’s very trainable and loves to please. John has a one hand neck rein, he lopes pretty circles and loves to STOP! Hes got a nice little sliding stop and a very cool turn around, he’ll side pass, open close gates, drag logs and good with tarps and bull whip, he’s very soft in the bridle, he will do cute little half passes with moving his hip very willingly, he’ll do the Extended trot and trotting over logs. He’ll even ride bareback and bridless. You name it… he does it all! He’s very gentle and loves attention! John has also been in dressage training the last couple months and is doing outstanding in that as well as being such a pretty mover and is very good with driving in the bridle and showing off his moves and has been very easy and fun to train in dressage. John is in the training level and doing well on lateral work and is ready to go to your next level! John came in our barn as a five yr old and came from the breeder so I’m the second owner and owned him ever since and had all his training here at the ranch so he’s been in my program for 3 years and sure am proud where he has become! He’s been rode on and off and does very well with time off. What I really like about John is he’s very versatile and keeps his training. With not mentioned yet he also has quite a bit of liberty training as well and loves it! And you can ride him western one week, the next week ride him English and following week do liberty and does not get confused and keeps his training. I’ve been really mixing up his training and he keeps it very well and that’s what I really like about John. John has very good ground manners, he cross ties very well, he’s good with the farrier and he has very good solid black hooves and always stayed sound. He does very well in a stall or in pasture and is good with other horses and good to catch. He bathes really good and to trailer as well, John is up to date on his teeth, deworming and shoeing and is ready to find his forever home!! If you think John is a perfect fit for you please feel free to reach out to us if you have a further questions. We are very excited to see where he finds his lucky new owner!
