2017 APHA Blue Roan Solid Gelding
ONLINE SESSION – HANCOCKS MISTY BLUE – 2017 APHA Blue Roan Solid Gelding x Mistys Lil Man x Im A FourFigure Man out of Hancocks Touch x Hancocks Painted Tru. Meet Rio! He’s a wonderful dude who just wants to please you. Has been in the mountains and on lots of trail rides. He loves the trail and I haven’t found much that fazes him. Rio can TRAVEL- Not super forward but has a speedy head-swinging walk. Has been to town & in a parade with no huge issues. Works in the arena as well and will collect up if asked with a pretty solid stop. I’ve swung the rope off him as well, rope a dummy, go chase cows - he’ll pony a naughty baby horse around and still lead the trail ride like a boss or follow content in the back. Is shod and good with his feet. English or Western - obstacles. Definitely a cowboy dressage kind of guy. Hauls and hobbles. Does best with a confident rider and a consistent program. Solid recent 60 days under his belt. Very kind gelding overall in the herd. Checks ALOT of boxes. PPE's welcome! Located in Whitehall MT.
