“It’s all gravy, every day the rest of your life, gravy.” That quote is exactly what you can expect when Gravy becomes a cherished part of your family - an easygoing and straightforward horse every day for the rest of your life that your entire family can enjoy. Gravy began his career under saddle in a cutting program and then seamlessly transitioned to showing and excelling in all ranch versatility classes. His exceptionally smooth trot and cadence at the lope accompanied by his easy handle make him a dream to ride. Gravy is what we call the ‘lazy loper’ type where he maintains a consistent pace until prompted; responding effortlessly to your cues, whether with your reins or simply by your body language if you choose to go bridleless. Beyond the arena, Gravy proves his versatility and good-mindedness by being used for ranch work like gathering and sorting cattle along with helping halter break and start colts under saddle, exploring all of the state trails here in Texas, navigating busy town environments, and being the mount of choice for our 3yr old son. Bridges, bikers, pedestrians, wildlife, new places, group rides, or solo adventures—Gravy handles it all with ease and with no surprises. Riders of all levels and ages, from toddler beginners to aged professionals, have found harmony with him both in the saddle and out. If he has any time off, you can climb back up into the saddle with confidence that no nonsense will follow. He’s a saint on the ground for everything and will always happily load up in the trailer to go anywhere you'd like. Gravy aims to please and embodies the 'in your pocket' personality we all love. He is always seeking your company and will graciously soak up all the affection you offer him. If our son is in the pasture, it’s always a guarantee Gravy will find him and be following behind step for step no matter where he goes. Not only is Gravy impressive in person, but he’s just as impressive on paper. Gravy is by a money-earning and producing son of Smooth As A Cat (LTE $500k, PE $32million+) and out of a producing daughter of Sweet Lil Pepto (LTE $237k, PE $6million+). Due to his unique coloration and roaning pattern meeting the qualifications, he is dual registered with both AQHA and APHA! Gravy has become a cherished family member of ours. He's the perfect ride to end the day on a pleasant note for Dad, a ribbon-winning partner at ranch horse shows for Mom, and, most importantly, a beloved friend to our toddler. Words can't fully capture the joy and pleasure Gravy brings, and we're excited to share this exceptional gelding with you at the Southern Belle Classic.
