Rooster has done a bit of everything. He grew up on a working cow ranch herding a dragging 6 days a week. When I bought him nearly 5 years ago, i was focused on sorting. We did a bunch of local Oregon shows then went to the RSNC Cinch Nationals in Reno. Came home and decided to invest time in cutting training. I quickly realized it was a long process and would get expensive. When I moved to Florida, I decided to build a house and have not had time to train him. I decided to have him evaluated by a local roping pro and he was very impressed that after being absent to a rope swinging over his head he still remembered everything! Crazy. About Rooster - he is for an intermediate to advanced rider, not a beginner. He has many buttons and is used to a cow horse riding style. If you put him out to pasture for more than 4 weeks, its best to get him legged-up as he can be fresh. He just gets excited. He also can be rear-cinchy if its been a while. He can be a bit "lookie" sometimes. He is a sensitive gelding but is extremely obedient and always looks forward to a job to do when the trailer pulls up. Any many cow stock facilities he has been the go-to cow horse when one gets out of a pen or beyond the herd. Not to sound soft, but I love this boy and he loves me. He calls for me and responds to my hugs. I am selling him to buy a finished cutter. Its not a cheap business. I am 66 now, retired and on a fixed income. I am not a roper either. He is a beautiful well-build quarter. Come see Rooster!
