“My favorite thing about Mario is his fun lope and he’s really sweet. He has a really smooth trot and I feel like I could do anything on him.” -Saylor 8yrs old. Mario will pull at your heart strings right from hello! He is an absolutely gorgeous 12.3 hand blue roan pony who looks like he was pulled straight from a storybook. With his unique color, extensive training, gentle nature, and perfect mind, Mario is truly every child’s and parents dream come true. He is the single most gentle pony we’ve ever had, and his heart is twice his size. Mario has seen it all and done it all. He’s been hauled to horse shows, playdays, and junior rodeos, where he’s pushed calves, roped slow calves, and even taken along to brand on where he packed little Townes(4yrs old) to gather and let Kyler (10yrs old) drag calves to the fire. He’s carried flags in grand entries, safely handled gunfire and fireworks on the Fourth of July, and even stepped out in parades with all the confidence and grace of a much larger horse. To top it off, Mario has even been ridden English, proving his versatility knows no bounds. On the trails, Mario is a picture of safety and reliability. He’s unbothered by traffic, wildlife, or new environments, always willing to go wherever the kids dream up an adventure. His personality is kind, patient, and steady—he loves his little ones and is always there to take care of them, no matter what might be going on around him. Under saddle, Mario is as broke as they come. He lopes around smooth and cadenced, slides to a stop, and even has slow, correct one-handed spins. His jog is smooth as silk and his long trot is dreamy and fun! His transitions up or down are effortless and there isn’t anything about him that is intimidating to a beginner. Mario is THE PERFECT confidence builder. He has so much to teach and offer the little ones. You could literally ride him with nothing more than a string around his neck—he’s that honest and that broke. His manners are second to none, and his willing disposition makes him a pony you can trust day in and day out even after extensive time off. Mario isn’t just another pony—he’s a once-in-a-lifetime partner for a child to grow with, love, and make countless memories on. From the show pen to the ranch, from carrying the American flag to carrying your little one safely on a trail ride, Mario is a perfect gentleman and the definition of safe, solid, and special.
