Meet Cody — a registered AQHA bay gelding, 19 years old, standing completely sound with no lameness. Doc O'Lena bloodlines back him up, and he's a well-built, honest horse with a wonderful temperament and a lot of try.
Cody has truly done it all. He's competed in gymkhanas, worked cows on the ranch, hit the trails, and done lessons with both kids and adults. He's not an English horse by trade, but he's been ridden English over flatwork and small cross-country courses too. He's forward-moving and easy to move out — the kind of horse who's happy to go to work.
Just as important as what he can do is who he is. Cody has never offered anything dangerous — no buck, no bolt, no bite, no rear, no kick. He stands quietly to be mounted and dismounted, and he's not spooky. He loves to be loved on, groomed, and bathed — you can even wash his face without a fuss. He's an easy keeper who currently lives happily in a mixed pasture, and he's just as easy to handle in every other way: tacks up, stands for the farrier, and loads without hesitation.
**Why he's for sale:** This is a hard one for his owner. Cody hasn't been overly used the past few years — just light work — because she has two horses and simply doesn't have the time to give both the attention they deserve. She's realized she's ready for Cody to go to a home that can get better use out of him and give him the job and love he's ready for. He has plenty left to give the right person.
**What he offers:**
- Sound, no lameness — easy keeper, low maintenance
- Incredibly versatile — gymkhana, cow work, trails, lessons, and light English
- No dangerous habits — no buck, bolt, bite, rear, or kick
- Stands quietly for mounting and dismounting, not spooky
- Loves attention — grooming, bathing, and face washing all no problem
- Easy in every way — tacks up, stands for farrier, loads without fuss
- Currently in professional training and kept tuned up until sold
Cody is not a beginner's horse, but he'd make an excellent step-up horse for a rider ready to advance, or a great fit for a confident, experienced younger rider. He has been ridden by kids and adults, and does well for both, but Cody does have buttons, which is the reason for him not being listed as a beginner horse.
Priced at $8,000 but flexible for the right home — his future is what matters most. Serious inquiries welcome. Happy to answer questions or schedule a visit to meet him.
