2016 Blue roan gelding

King is a 10-year-old AQHA Registered blue roan gelding standing 15.1 hands tall. He is a true blue roan with a long, flowing mane and the kind of eye-catching presence that stands out anywhere.

King is a proven all-around ranch, rope, and trail gelding that is gentle, dependable, and suitable for most levels of riders. He is very broke to ride with a solid one-hand neck rein, moves easily off your legs, and is simple to operate. He lopes collected circles on a loose rein, has a big, confident stop, and turns around correctly both directions.

He is exceptionally user-friendly to get on. Lead him to a mounting block, step, or stump, step up, and simply smooch—he will side pass over, stand quietly, and wait for your cue.

King has been extensively used on the ranch and in the mountains of Western Montana. He has gathered, sorted, and branded cattle and is comfortable working in tight alleys or out in big country. He has dragged calves to the fire and is the kind you can rely on for a full day’s work.

On the trail, he is seasoned and trustworthy. He crosses water, brush, and rough terrain with confidence and is quiet around wildlife and new environments. He has been ridden many miles through wet bottom ground as well as steep mountain country.

He has also been started in the team roping on both the head and heel side. He is quiet in the box, shows natural rate, and has the strength to pull anything you dally to. While not finished, he is well on his way and ready to go in any direction.

King has been ridden extensively by a 10-year-old boy, highlighting his kind nature and forgiving disposition. He is safe, honest, and consistent every day.

He is easy to handle in every way—good to shoe, load, haul, and bathe. He stands tied quietly, does not pull back, and has no buck.

King is in the prime of his life and ready to go to work. Whether you need a dependable ranch horse, a rope prospect, or a safe, enjoyable trail partner, he fits the bill.
