Handy Dandy is a 13.3 hand 6 year old BLM mustang gelding from Divide Basin, WY HMA.

Dandy is a fun guy that is talented in many areas. He was my partner for the Mustang Champions competitions last year where he did very well. He competed at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in the Western Mustang Challenge and was 4th place overall there. He then competed at the Kentucky Horse Park in the English Mustang Classic where he placed 2nd overall.

Dandy would make an excellent hunter/jumper pony. I believe a kid could ride him but I have not tried. He does need a rider that can push him. He is willing and will jump almost anything up to about 3’ easily but needs a rider with good leg and confidence. I have shown him in local mini trials in eventing in starter and BN where he has placed and won some.

He also is lightly started in roping and would excel at it! He loves cattle and is quick and catty with a great stop.

Dandy can be in with other horses and is middle of the pack as far as dominance goes. He’s friendly with people and easy to catch.

He is priced in the low five figures starting with a two. His price has been reduced since competing in September. His price reflects the fact that he has been mainly sitting this winter and he is in winter woolies! Offers considered to show homes. Would also consider a month lease/trial locally for a fee and to serious inquiries only.

Another good ride on my mustang mare with no name still 😂 I decided to start jumping early on in training to help with bravery and muscle development. She’s really smart and sensitive. I’ve never had a horse quite like her I usually need to ride with spurs by now but she wants to move off my legs almost too much. I never pictured her as being a forward horse when I first got her. Side passing takes very little effort and she almost offers a leg yield when trotting. It was a cold ride but she behaves well for only one month of training. Filmed this with my PIXEM app and Pixio Robot. Need to work the zoom out but not bad for the first time I’ve used it in a while.

Handy Dandy is truly handy and dandy! This little horse has done more in a year than most horses will do in a lifetime. Dandy was my partner for both the Mustang Challenge in Las Vegas and Mustang Classic in Lexington. He was one of two mustangs that were in the top four at both of these events!

Dandy is a cute western horse and has competed in Ranch Riding, trail, reining, cowhorse events, and loves cattle and roping! He is also an adorable English horse and has competed in hunters/jumpers, dressage, show jumping and cross country.

He recently competed in The Mustang Classic at the Kentucky Horse Park where he was crowned Reserve Champion! He won the arena cross country class and was second in show jumping. In Las Vegas at the mustang challenge he was fourth place overall and second in the compulsory maneuvers class for the finals.

If you want a mustang that can do anything and look good doing it, Dandy is your guy. I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a horse than I have with him. He is that cute! Dandy has an awesome friendly in your pocket personality and has been pastured with other horses.

Took Fiona to her first horse show and Dandy to his second one. They both made me proud. Came home with quite a few 6th place ribbons 😂 and one blue! There was more than 6 in most classes so we weren’t last.

Blankets: I blanket at two different times, when it’s gonna be wet and when the blanket helps with training! Both these horses don’t love things touching their rear ends so this wet weather made for a good training opportunity since we won’t be riding.

Fiona update! She’s been kind of tough for me. She really hasn’t done anything terrible but she bolted across the arena with me once at a dead run. She grabs her butt a lot!!!! Hasn’t bucked, knock on wood, but she scares me probably because she’s BIG! I’ve been riding her in the round pen (after the bolt) up until today again. Hoping with the nice weather and some riding buddies I can really get her going and over this hump.

Through the lens:
Load your horse in your trailer and go to the grocery store! A mentor of mine once told me to take my wild mustangs with me everywhere. I can’t say I’m very good at actually taking them everywhere but now with a 10 month old child I have to figure out ways to work with my horses with him around. I knew he needed a nap and the horse has never left the property so I loaded both up! We tried to go to the grocery store but he was asleep a minute into our drive.

How many of you struggle with loading your horse? Unloading it? Horse not loading back up once unloaded?

Practice! Practice! Practice! I have a friend that was in a mustang competition with me once and she loaded her mustang every morning and took it to work with her before the competition. The horse had food and water in the trailer all day and then she took it home once done with her shift. You bet that horse loaded right up into the trailer provided at the show.

So take your horses with you next time you need to go grocery shopping or to the gas station. Just take them somewhere other than a planned destination. It’s also great for practicing driving the truck and trailer, find some back roads and drive around. Your horse won’t know the difference if you know what you are doing or don’t. I hope this helps someone struggling with trailering!

First ride on the four year old mustang mare from Buffalo Hills, NV. Her lope is so smooth she just floats across the ground. When I first saw her in the corrals I was worried about how big she was how she would move but I listened to the pen wranglers at the corral. They said she moved beautifully and they were so right! This girl tries her heart out and I can’t wait to see how she progresses.

Handy Dandy is starting to get broke! This little mustang was probably the most scared of people I have had personally. He did a complete 180 and loves domestic life now! Check out how cute he is! I love his lope. This was the second time we rode with humans in the arena, Julie and Rowdy were our desensitizers. First time I rode with someone in the arena we proceeded to bolt around the arena. This is a huge improvement!

Selling some personal horses. Pm with questions.

Solara - Palomino is a yearling “Sheza Rap Cat” (AQHA pending), stout as can be and athletic to boot. Stands around 13.3 as a yearling. Watched her be born last year. She hasn’t had a ton of handling. She’s halter broke and that’s about it. I plan on working with her and getting her loading in trailer and feet picked up in the next few weeks.
10🥕🥕🥕

Laroy - Next is a huge grade 2 year old red dun gelding. He’s as gentle as they come and super personality. I have about 10 rides on him and will sell him with at least 30. Good for the farrier, easy to be around, great to catch, everyone’s favorite. He stands 15.2 1000 pounds as a 2 year old. 75🥕🥕

Feather - Last but certainly not least blue roan titled mustang mare. 6 years old around 14.2 hands. Fort Worth Rising Stars Mustang Champion 2022, Extreme Cowboy Racing World Championships 2021 4th place overall. Trail riding expert! Smoothest horse you’ll ever ride besides a gaited one. Good for any rider. 25🥕🥕🥕

There is a pinto under there, found some white after a nice rinse. Think I decided on a name, introducing “Rome” short for Romen because “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Preparing for some Extreme Cowboy Racing next week! Set up a course in our arena and ran Feather through it tonight. I forgot my own course 🙄 but for never seeing some of the obstacles before I was super proud of her!

Took Jimmy and a few others to Colorado Obstacle Challenge today. Jimmy is our little rescue horse from Harmony! He was a rockstar and won the class against the other horses. Not to mention how cute is he?! Pretty boy.
