FOR ADVENTURE**: 10-12 Year Old Bay Roan Gelding – Your Next Trail Partner or Ranch Horse!**.

Meet *Gunner*—a solid, well-built bay roan gelding ready to go wherever the trail takes you. Whether you’re hitting the mountain trails, working the ranch, or looking for a dependable companion for weekend rides, Gunner's got the heart and the grit you need.

Here’s what you’re getting with this guy:

**Solid Build:** Built to last and take on whatever you throw his way.
**Good Feet:** Keeps his front shoes on and stays sound for the long haul.
**Easy Keeper:** Just alfalfa and orchard hay to keep him happy. No extra fuss needed.
**No Maintenance:** Healthy as can be
**Affectionate:** He likes to be loved on and enjoys the company of people.

Gunner's got plenty of heart, but he’s not going to test you like some young, green horses. He’s a steady guy with a lot of potential for the right cowboy. Here's more of what he’s capable of:

**Great on the Trails:** Whether you’re going solo or riding with the group, he’s game for it all. He’ll lead, follow, or cruise on his own.
**No-nonsense Ride:** Steady and he’s not hot— but just enough spark to make him fun, but solid enough to trust.
**Water Crossing:** Won’t bat an eye at water, mud, or rough terrain.
**Good with Dogs & Traffic:** He’s seen it all—barking dogs, traffic, you name it, and he’s cool under pressure.
**Comfortable Ba****ck:** If you like riding with nothing between you and your horse, Gunner’s your guy. He’s smooth and steady.
**Basic Arena Training:** He’s got a solid foundation, and he’s ready for more. He might even have ranch riding or western dressage potential.
**Cow Work Experience?** Might have some experience working cattle—he’s got the instincts to match.

Gunner's no horse for a cowboy looking for a fight—he’s got a good heart, and he’ll respond to positive reinforcement and praise. He’s all about the right partnership.

**The Details:**
- Trailers well, good for farrier, up-to-date on vaccines and worming.
- Teeth floated, sheath cleaned (April '24).
- Shoed and trimmed every 8-9 weeks.
- Ready for whatever you want to do.

If you’re looking for a steady, reliable horse to partner up with, Gunner’s your man. He's got the soul of a trail horse, the heart of a ranch partner, and the mind to get the job done right. Give him the care and respect he deserves, and he’ll return it tenfold.

🤩We continue to be so IMPRESSED by this 8 yr old mare - FAME! Saturday it was still soooo windy, but this mare did not let that bother her!

She is brave, tries so hard to do what you're asking her to do and picks up on it so quick! Her right lead is sticky, but Cindy worked with her for a bit and now she's picking it up beautifully - you can sense her thinking about it when you ask for the lope!✨

Fame went out on the trail, by herself in the wind. She had the dog following along and jumping out of the bushes. She walked over a bridge that she didn't want to walk over before...she did it like a BOSS!!! She didn't spook or bolt - she was so incredibly calm!!! 💙

She would make someone an INCREDIBLE horse - just a bit more fine tuning on this mare is all that's needed. She's so sweet too and has some get up and go!

She's been started on barrels, poles and has getting some trail miles in. We can't say enough good things about this mare!

🐴 Barefoot
🐴 14.2 hh
🐴 Easy keeper
🐴 Registered (but cannot be bred)
🐴 Stands for the farrier
🐴 Stands tied
🐴 Has an excellent stop

Meet Fame, an 8-year-old registered mare standing at 14.2 hands – and she's ready to start her next adventure! With her athletic build and natural agility, Fame has been working hard in the arena on her foundation and is now starting to get patterned on poles and barrels. Her compact, muscular frame makes her well-suited for speed events, but she’s also calm and steady enough for trail rides, making her the perfect all-around prospect.

Fame is a quick learner and a hard worker, eager to continue refining her skills. She is barefoot and has no trouble with the farrier, plus she’s an easy keeper who stands tied quietly. While she is confident around other horses, she would benefit from a few more solo rides to build her independence on the trail. She’s never one to bolt or buck if she gets spooked. She's been around cars, dirt bikes and barking dogs!

Whether you’re looking to compete or just enjoy some trail time, Fame has the potential to go in many directions. She’s waiting for someone ready to help her reach her full potential – could it be you?
