Rio is on HorseBid.com and his auction ends Monday January 12! Rio is an exceptional 6-year-old registered POA gelding standing 13.2 hands tall. He is truly the kind you don’t see offered for sale, he’s a part of our family and one of the favorites in the barn. Rio is always the first to meet you at the gate and has that easy-going disposition. He has all the outside experience and has been trail ridden down the road, through the thickets, hog hunted on, hauled to town, and exposed to ropings, barrel races, and rodeos. Outside on the trail he takes great care of his rider, he will go down steep creek banks slow and easy and cross the creek with ZERO jumping. He will walk right thru it with no hesitation. Did I mention Rio does TRICKS?? He will lay down and sit up on command!! ❤️ We have been roping the sled dummy on him and have started him on the barrels and poles. Rio is very athletic, turns around correctly, wants to stop hard, and will step off into a slow, smooth lope from a standstill. This gelding is extremely easy to ride with smooth gaits and genuinely wants to please. He side passes, opens and closes gates, picks up correct leads, counter-arcs, and lopes easy, collected circles. My 7 and 10 year old can catch, brush, saddle, and ride him completely on their own. Rio is 110% safe with absolutely no buck, bite, or kick. He can be left off for months, caught, and stepped right into a lope he’s just that honest and uncomplicated. He is gentle, leads, loads, bathes, stands tied quietly, great to groom, saddle, bridle, hauls well, and gets along great with others (currently turned out in a mixed herd of eight). He rides the same in the arena as he does outside and is an AMAZING trail horse. He is not buddy or barn sour and will confidently ride off alone wherever you ask him to go. Rio is just the right size to carry a kid or an adult. My husband is 5’11 and rides him everywhere also! He is UTD on farrier, dewormer, and vaccinations.
