Rook is a 2013, 16-hand AQHA bay gelding. He is ATHLETIC AND TALENTED ranch horse. He has a steady, quiet, been there, done that personality but also has “get up and go” and is competitive in anything you ask of him.
Rook is athletic and has a huge motor (when asked) but will also lope smoothie and slow circles; he is running a fast and smooth barrel pattern!
He trail rides out well on a loose rein and handles all the obstacles like a pro. Rook is fun to ride and quiet enough for younger riders who like to walk or move out! He has been used to gather and sort on the ranch he will do his job well. He backs up, turns around both ways, has an amazing rollback, and walks, jogs, and lopes nice circles. Rook has a nice soft mouth, is finished with a neck reining, and has a great stop and will spin.
He is easy and classy but has a huge motor if needed! Rook is also stunning in person and in photos!!! He has super ground manners, quiet to catch, lead, load, haul, bathe, groom, pick feet, saddle, bridle, stands tied anywhere, stands still for mount and dismount, and is great for the vet and the farrier. He has been ridden out alone, in groups, down the side of the road, hauled to arenas for events, and out of town for different cattle drives and trail rides. In town, he handles traffic and commotion like a superstar and has even been around trains and ridden on the side of the highway.
This is a very relaxed, sweet, well broke gelding that is uncomplicated enough for just about anyone to get along with but has enough buttons for a more experienced rider to take far as a ranch, sorting horse, 1/D barrel horse, or just about anything else you could think of.
