Digger – The Complete Package
Meet Digger, registered name Reverend Homer’s Digging Deep – a red bay, registered Single-Footing Horse gelding with unforgettable presence. He is by Reverend Homer, a sire known as a true natural racking horse, and it shows in Digger’s effortless, natural way of going. Bred by Bull Bush of London, Kentucky, and previously owned by respected horseman Doug Ripley of Decatur, Alabama, Digger comes from a program where quality is the standard.
At 8 years old and 15.2½ hands, Digger has excellent conformation, an athletic build, and a striking red bay coat that still looks picture-perfect on the muddiest day. Started with patient, correct trainingand no shortcuts, he offers a smooth, comfortable gait with no drama or gimmicks.
Digger’s temperament is exceptional: sweet, kind, non-spooky, and wonderfully personable. He loves attention, has a big, funny character, and stays level-headed and consistent every ride. Bred to speed rack, he is not hot or nervous—he will walk and go slow for a relaxed ride, has an extra gear of speedwhen you ask, and comes right back down calmly afterward.
On the trail, he’s a sure-footed, confident partner, climbing like a goat and handling real mountain country, not just easy paths. He is solid in traffic and around dogs, cows, wildlife, bikes, and hikers. Digger will pony other horses, and is equally good leading, following, riding side-by-side, or going out alone. He has been ridden in Alabama, Utah, and California, proving himself on challenging, true mountain trails.
If you’ve been waiting for that once-in-a-while horse—a red bay gelding with proven bloodlines, eye-catching looks, a golden mind, natural gait, and a touch of thrilling speed when you want it--Digger is that horse. Horses with this mix of training, genetics, temperament, and presence are rare, and they never stay available for long.
