Wow, wow—where can you find a draft cross gelding with this much presence, color, and talent? Meet Kodiak, a 2020 grulla draft cross gelding standing a proud 16.2 hands tall. With his striking coat, solid build, kind eyes, and that handsome white snip on his nose, Kodiak is the kind of horse that turns heads wherever he goes—and then wins hearts with his quiet, trustworthy personality. Kodiak has been about everywhere you could take a horse. He is steady on trails, whether stepping over logs, winding through creeks, climbing hills, or strolling down into valleys. Nothing seems to rattle him, he takes it all with calm confidence and a willing attitude. He has been down busy state roads, meeting traffic head-on without a fuss, making him a safe and dependable partner in any setting. He is also well-desensitized to whips, tarps, jugs, and even gunfire, taking everything in stride. This gelding is as versatile as they come. He has been ridden western, English, bareback, and even bridle less. In the arena, he knows his leads, has a smooth lead change, and rides easily off a one-handed neck rein. With three smooth gaits, he is a joy to ride. His lope is that classic rocking-chair gait you can settle into for hours, while his walk and trot are steady, comfortable, and easy to ride for anyone. We believe Kodiak could be your next trusted trail riding companion—or even your partner for fox hunting. Whether you are looking for a steady mount for long rides or a bold partner to take into the hunt field, Kodiak has the size, stamina, and mind to handle it. Truly, he will go whichever direction you want to take him. What sets Kodiak apart, though, is his people-loving personality. He wants to be your best friend, greeting you at the gate or the stall door, always ready for attention, scratches, or just a moment with his person. The kids ride him with confidence, and he has proven himself safe and steady for riders of all ages and levels—beginner, advanced, or senior, Kodiak adjusts to his rider and gives them his all. Kodiak is well-cared for and up to date on all vaccinations, dental care, and deworming, giving you peace of mind that he is healthy, happy, and ready to go. He is the kind of horse that does not need to be ridden every day to stay the same. Whether you ride him daily, weekly, or only when you have the time, he will be the same honest and dependable horse every time you saddle him up. He is the partner you can count on and the one that makes you smile just to look at him. Kodiak is the full package: beauty, brains, ability, and a heart that wants nothing more than to please his rider. Horses like him do not come around often, he is truly one of a kind.
