Looking for the Ultimate work and play horse? Like A Boss, affectionately known as Bruce. Imported (Australia) QH x Gypsy Draught. A Straight-up bridle horse, trained in our interpretation of the Californio style, Bruce has spent extensive time in the hackamore, then the Two-Rein, and is now usually ridden in the Spade, but he can be rode in anything or nothing! Bruce has a long stride with great rhythm in all gaits, the way he covers the ground with definiteness of purpose is gorgeous to watch, and exhilarating to feel. He will climb mountains, cross water, drag calves, he is a handy cutting horse, sorts cattle quietly and efficiently, works his heart out, but then when you drop the reins on his neck, he will wait patiently for his next cue. His sure-footedness and attention to detail gives him a special aptitude for Ranch Trail, he reads strides easily when it comes to ground poles and any type of jumping obstacle. Regularly scoring +1/2’s & +1’s for maneuvers in Ranch Riding, Ranch Trail and Ranch Pleasure. He is such a fun horse to show, easy to prepare, once you step into the show pen he maintains his concentration and is easy to navigate through patterns. He is out of the standout Facebook sensation, registered Drum horse mare King’s Ransom Lizzie. And sired by the highly decorated Australian Quarter Horse Stallion Early Oak. (deceased) Bruce is an Australian Born Quarter Horse cross Gypsy Draught gelding standing at 14.2hh and weighing in at 1100lbs. Born August 1st 2019. He is Bay Roan with a unique blaze and 2 hind socks. He is microchipped and registered with the National Snaffle Bit Association. He is up to date on Vaccinations, Dental, current Coggins and has clean X-Rays. His thick, long forelock frames his photogenic face, when you look closely, he has some white eye lashes on his upper eye lid, while the rest are black, just one of the redeeming features he inherited from his Dam: King’s Ransom. His feet are very healthy, easy to manage and are the ideal size/depth for his size. He has spent most of his life barefoot, he is trimmed on a regular schedule and wears sliders on his hind feet when showing.
