Buckeyes Patriot is a truly special 5-year-old blue roan Gypsy cross gelding standing at a handy 14.1 hands tall. With his compact build, smooth gaits, and quiet mind, he is that hard-to-find combination of size, beauty, and brains. Whether you are looking for your next dependable trail mount, a confidence builder, or a flashy all-around partner, Patriot checks all the boxes. From the moment you lay eyes on him, Patriot’s striking presence stands out. He sports a long, black, flowing mane and tail, a signature white blaze, one white front foot, and a classic blue roan coat that shimmers in the sunlight. But his beauty is not just skin deep—this gelding has the experience and personality to back it up. Patriot has been trailered to many different places and never misses a beat—he’s the same calm, steady partner whether you’re riding out from the barn or unloading at a new location. He has been used to check cattle, has crossed creeks and rivers, and has confidently navigated state roads—he is completely traffic safe and unfazed by the unexpected. He rides Western, English, and bareback, and has also been driven in a carriage, handling each discipline with ease and willingness. His gaits are buttery smooth, with a nice, fluid walk, a soft jog, and a rhythmic lope that’s easy to sit on. Transitions are seamless, and he neck reins with ease. He is suitable for beginners, seniors, or anyone in between—Patriot is broke, safe, and dependable. His want-to-please attitude makes him a joy to work with. Trick trained for both fun and function, Patriot will lay down on cue and side-pass right up to a mounting block to help you get on. He is well-desensitized to tarps, jugs, gunfire, and whips, and handles them all with confidence and curiosity, not fear. He is a horse that not only tolerates training—he thrives on it and enjoys the attention. Around the barn, Patriot is as easy as they come. He stands patiently in the wash bay, is good for the farrier, loads and unloads like a pro, and loves to be groomed and fussed over. He is currently wearing shoes on all four due to the rocky terrain where we ride, but his hooves are strong and healthy enough to go barefoot if desired. To top it all off, Buckeyes Patriot is fully up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and dental care, so he is ready to walk into your barn and get to work or hit the trails without missing a step. If you are looking to step up from a pony, find a safe family horse, or add a one-of-a-kind gelding to your program, Buckeyes Patriot is ready to be your next forever partner. Horses like him don’t come around often—sane, smooth, beautiful, and broke. Come meet him and see for yourself why he is the total package.
