Mickey is a gelding with the kind of personality that makes him instantly part of the family. He earned his name from our daughter, who insisted he be named after Mickey Mouse, and he lives up to it with his fun, family-friendly personality. He’s always careful and steady on the trail, yet broke and versatile enough to step into the arena and go to work. Mickey has the mind of a horse twice his age and is very receptive to what’s asked of him. In the arena he’s a blast to ride, with a deep stop off your seat, a correct and fun turn around, and the ability to move off your leg with ease. He’s been tracking the roping sled and shows all the potential to step up as a rope horse prospect, but he’s just as comfortable loping pretty circles, stretching into a long trot, or carrying himself softly in English tack. With his willingness to frame up and stay soft, Mickey could just as easily go in a dressage direction, making him a truly versatile all-around partner—western, English, dressage, ranch, or trail. Not looking for a performance horse? Mickey is just as happy to stroll down the trail on a loose rein, taking care of riders of any level. Mickey takes every obstacle in stride – teeter totter bridge, cowboy curtain, tarps, whips, gunfire, and flags are all old news to him. What makes Mickey extra special is his loving personality. He adores people of all ages and has been nothing but kind and gentle with our kids. He has that rare combination of being broke, dependable, and safe, while affectionate in a way that makes him irresistible to be around. Around the barn, Mickey is a joy. He’s been kept in a stall and turned out on pasture with no bad habits. Pictures don’t do him justice. His kind-eye, flashy look, and solid build really shine in person. He has plenty of foot and bone to last, setting him up for a long and successful career. Gentle, flashy, broke, and full of heart, Mickey is the kind of horse that can go in any direction. Whether you’re looking for a dependable family horse, a solid trail partner, or a versatile gelding with western, english, or dressage potential, Mickey has the talent and mind to get you there. Mickey will be offered at the Quarter Horse Congress Super sale on 10/18/25. Give us a call to set up a time to take him for a spin!
