Although he is a grade, please take advantage of the opportunity to own this talented horse in his prime. We have owned Ace since 2019, when he was just two years old. With Karla June, this outstanding gelding spent 90 days of professional training at KR Horsemanship in Lexington, KY. Since then, he has competed in numerous Extreme Cowboy Races and training clinics in multiple states, including Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas. He has been trail-ridden extensively and attended several professional training clinics that included horsemanship skills ranging from body control and obstacles to breakaway roping. Ace has been exposed to all sorts of obstacles. He will cross bridges no matter the height, cross teeter-totter bridges, open and close gates off of him, and know the come-over cue to pick you up. At the same time, on a mounting block at the snap of your fingers, side passes both directions, walks through hanging pool noodles and tarp tunnels, swims in rivers, leads, loads, ties, picks up all 4 feet, backs, neck reins, collectively stops off the seat, responds to leg pressure, yields hind quarters, lunge lines both directions, lowers his head and bridles very easily, you can easily mount and dismount off him, carries flags, crosses mattresses on the ground, water boxes, throw a rope off of him, drags objects, sorts cattle, tracks a roping dummy behind a ATV, crosses tarps, throw tractor tire inner tubes off of him, jumps, has an excellent start to spin, picks up correct leads off cue and flying lead changes and has a very smooth trot and lope, and saddles and unsaddles fine. He has a charming in-your-pocket demeanor whether you are looking to trail ride, use him as a ranch horse, or show him. Ace is not aggressive towards other horses, dogs, or people whatsoever. You can ride him bareback or with a saddle. He has always been ridden western and with a rear cinch with no issue. He has a silly personality and craves attention. You will likely have to keep him in check to respect your space. He is in no way mean about it. Still, it can be pretty annoying when you are trying to clean stalls, for example, and he is rubbing his butt against you wanting scratches. When you’re filling water tanks, he will pick up the water hose in his mouth sometimes and swing it everywhere, soaking everything in sight, and if it isn’t that, then he will take your bottle of Coke at a show in his front teeth and swing it around or swing his feed bucket around when you’re 1 minute late with grain. I recently, this year, brought home two wild mustangs from the BLM and have worked them off of Ace and ponied them around while dallied off to my saddle horn when the mustangs were learning to lead.
