2015 Brabant/QH (Draft Cross) Gelding for Sale

If you love a big beefcake of a horse that is as sweet as he is strong, then Theo is your guy. There isn’t enough space to describe how amazing this special horse is. Theo is one of the rare horses to have qualified to cross the block in THE Premier horse sale of 2022, Diamonds in the Desert. Like a premier diamond, he exhibits perfect scores in the “4 C’s:” Color, Chrome, Confidence, and Charisma. Throw in Character, Courage, Confirmation, and Chunkiness; this guy checks all the boxes! He’s super broke with great experience and renowned trainers on his resume. He’s sound and healthy; if you couldn’t tell it looking at him, he’s an easy keeper. And to top it all off, he has a big puppy-dog personality, making him the most versatile horse you could own. He’s hardy and handy enough to do a tough day’s work on the ranch, fancy enough in his training and movements to excel in a show ring in either Western or English, and gentle and easy enough to be the perfect trail companion for anyone who likes a fun ride, from a little kid to someone who has never been on a horse before to a skilled rider who can appreciate all his buttons. He’s even broke to drive (or so I’m told).

Theo is a 2015 Brabant / Quarter Horse draft cross gelding registered by DNA with the International Draft and Sporthorse Registry. At eight years old, he is at that absolutely perfect age – old enough to have seen some good experiences, yet with his whole life laid out before him. He’s 15.2 Hands and estimated at about 1800 pounds – a hunka, hunka, burning bay roan. With a pretty dark head, flashy white socks, a big thick silver mane and tail, and the most gorgeous silver roaning you’ve ever seen, Theo turns heads everywhere he goes. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Theo hams it up for his fans and is always delighted by all the attention he attracts. If you want to get noticed on the trail or in the arena, or if you like a big, soggy ride, you’ll never find another as stunning as Theo.

Training and Experience: Theo was originally Amish bred and trained in Kentucky, then worked a few years on a dude ranch in Idaho and found himself going through Running P Performance Horses’ rigorous program under Ryland Lufkin in Arizona to prepare him for Diamonds in the Desert. I have owned him just under a year, and this summer, he completed 60 days with trainer Trevor Deal of Real Deal Horses at the Cottonwood Equestrian Center in Montana for some working ranch horse training and fine-tuning some of his Western riding skills. He lopes pretty circles and knows his leads. He can back and side pass, work gates, and he’ll stride out to catch a runaway calf or collect up nicely when asked. He’s soft in the bridle and has a nice one-handed neck rein.
