Snaps Dee Lite 2011 AQHA gelding
Cash stands 15.3hh and is a stout made gelding. He is gentle and in your pocket type during anything that doesnāt involve work, you add the work factor in and he can get a little quirky.
The good:
Cash will saddle fine and ride off with little to no issues some days. He has a decent handle and will ride around like a broke horse on his good days. He will collect and move off of your leg, has the basics of a solid turn around, and will stop and back up when asked. Weāve worked on his ground tying skills, they could still use perfecting, but he has the idea. He stands well for the farrier, loads and unloads great. My clients purchased him as a ranch horse, we havenāt roped anything off of him, but he isnāt bothered by cattle. He is great turned out with others, mares or geldings. Isnāt one to run another off of feed, but will try to share and be buddies with everyone. He had his teeth done late last year. He rides in the arena good, decent outside, but can get a touch prancy if in the back of a group. We keep him shod on all 4 if we are riding him in the rocks consistently, he will get a touch sore footed on rock in his front feet without them. Heās a big stout made gelding, heās the size to handle taking a big jerk out in the pasture, or make a great head horse.
The bad:
Cash does have his off days. He isnāt a man killer, but he will buck. When he is having a bad day it typically shows before you climb aboard, he has his ways of showing it and will give you a heads up before he blows up. He will sometimes get it out of his system when you lunge him, but it isnāt a full proof way to avoid it. He does better if you get him to trust you some, but also isnāt one you can get by being his bestie and calling him handsome, Iāve tried it, heās just not the type. He has also cow kicked in the past, but it isnāt one of his favorite moves luckily. He got my boyfriend once the first day we ever used him, and tried to get me once while stepping on him. He gave me more of a warning before trying to get me, I was able to avoid it and correct him and he hasnāt attempted it since. He will pace for days if he isnāt in penned with another horse. He will settle after a couple of days, but will still pace some occasionally here and there.
With all of this being said, I donāt think this gelding is a TOTAL loss. I do think someone could get something done on him and have a horse who hasnāt been used very hard and still has TONS of potential. He does want to ride around, but he also just seems to get frustrated occasionally and his go to move is to buck still. I think if someone really hammered on him and used him for a couple of weeks he would come out of it just fine and make a horse. I donāt have that kind of work for him, my clients want him moved, and Iām out of options at this point.
