For your consideration…

RDY Hancocks Playgun “Alfie”
2022 Buckskin Gelding
14.2hh

If you are looking for a ranch bred, willing and athletic young gelding, RDY Hancocks Playgun is the horse for you.

Alfie is a 2 year old green broke buckskin with about 30 rides. Despite his registered name, Alfie is as sane as they come. He is responsive, willing, and eager to learn. This gelding is ready to go any direction. He walks, trots, and lopes willingly under saddle, with minimal effort from his rider, and stops off your seat nicely. He has ridden double on the trail, has had dogs run underneath him, and has been worked around other unruly horses (bucking broncs and misbehaving c**ts alike) without a care in the world. He is level headed, with a sweet personality, and does well both in a stall and in pasture. He has been exposed to cattle, goats, and kids. He will pony off of other horses and vehicles, and is perfectly comfortable in the herd. He is not overly pushy with herdmates, and is an easy keeper. He is currently barefoot, and stands well for the farrier. Alfie is being trained through the Downunder Horsemanship Fundamental Series, and has great ground manners. He lunges, changes direction, backs up, yields both his hindquarters and forequarters, and will pick you up off a fence. He just recently graduated from a hackamore to a smooth snaffle bit, and has taken it like a champ. Within three days of having a bit in his mouth, he has learned to give to lateral pressure, and is currently beginning to learn vertical flexion/collection. Alfie would do well as a work or show horse, and will become a great partner to you with enough consistency. Intermediate to advanced riders only, as he is still quite young, however I have no doubt in my mind that as he matures he will be a trustworthy and safe gelding for the whole family.

Ugh. I won’t lie, I’ve been sitting on this one for a while. This is not the post I ever wanted to make. A couple weeks ago I had my vet come out to look at Clementine’s front legs. I’m not a medical professional, but I knew something wasn’t right, and it hadn’t been getting better as she was growing. My vet took one look and agreed with me. We took some x-rays, and she gave me the diagnosis; Clementine has Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis (DSLD). There is no cure, and because she is only two and has not yet been ridden (or worked at all really), the only explanation for it is that it is genetic. Essentially this means that she probably will not be sound enough to show, and I cannot in good conscience continue her bloodline. It would be completely irresponsible. I do my best to make light of sh*tty things that happen in my life, but I can’t seem to make light of this one. All of the plans I had for this horse have been thrown out the window. I have cried, cursed, and wallowed in it for a while, but now I feel I’m ready to share her status with the world. I want to be very clear when I say this is not Epic Titan’s genes that caused this (nor will it deter me from breeding to him in the future). Upon talking to Penny’s owner about it, it sounds like it has shown up in her hind legs as well. There is no test for this disease. It is no one’s fault, it progresses at different speeds for different horses. Clementine’s just happened to show up early, and thank goodness it did before I bred her and carried on the genetics for this disease. At this point, my goal is to get her as comfortable as I can. If that means she won’t be able to be ridden, so be it. As of right now, she is not lame, so I’m not concerned about her quality of life at this time. I’m working with my vet and farrier to develop a plan of attack, but I am also open to suggestions. One of my biggest goals with my management of East Bay Equestrian is transparency. I strive to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. Unfortunately, this is just part of breeding, training, and owning horses. I hope I can find something positive about this whole situation soon, but until then it just really sucks. 🖤

Congratulations to Matthew Scott and his family for their purchase of Budha Steals Smoke!🎉 Zen/Zenny has brought me a lot of joy, and I’ve put a lot of blood sweat and tears into him. It makes me so proud to be able to call him my first sale horse. Thank you for supporting what I do, and choosing him as your next equine partner! I can’t wait to see where he takes you!❤️
