Need a ranch hand - here's your guy! D'Jango is a big beautiful 16 year old grade red roan gelding. Stands about 16hh. Stocky build. We brought this guy home February 2023. He was previously in Bozeman, MT on a large cattle ranch. Jango had fallen off the pecking order and was needing a little TLC. Fast forward 7'ish months this guy is ready to get back at it. In June his teeth were floated and was updated on vaccines. He did 5 rounds of equine massage therapy (which, he loved!). He absolutely loves water. Stands tied to trailer. Hauls perfectly. We've worked really hard on building his confidence and trust. He's come such a long way! He's still apprehensive with the ferrier on his back legs - he responds best to a soft approach. He has good feet. Currently barefoot. Jango will require an experienced rider. He will test you if he senses uncertainty. He needs the reassurance of a confident rider. He did bolt with my teenage daughter, presumed excitement/surprise over livestock. His reining is impeccable. He responds phenomenally with leg pressure. Somewhere down the line, he was definitely trained well. He will require a refresher as we haven't asked much of him since having him. He does great with our yearling, mare and other gelding. Respects the fence. First to greet us and first to the gate, always! Yes he is branded and yes we have his release documents.
