1-A} APACHE - 4 year old gray gelding sired by APACHE BLUE BOY the horse we sold to John Row that has since won 4 AQHA World Championships, over 1200 AQHA points and has 7 AQHA Superior awards. His dam is a Leo and Foundation bred mare.

This is a gorgeous 4 year old 16.1 + hand gray gelding. He has been used as a ranch gelding for 2 years. He has doctored cattle in the pasture, drug cattle into a stock trailer, sorted and penned cattle and has even been used by a ranch cowboy at a couple of ranch rodeos. He has absolutely NO buck in him and is gentle to ride. We have used him for a trail horse and to check pastures for more than 8 months. He is safe and solid to ride, even after a long turn-out.

He has a very flat kneed jog/trot and a smooth level lope. He could be a top show 'all-around' horse. He has never been ridden under English tack, but would make the transition easily. This beautiful gelding just needs a job and a home where his talents can be utilized. He is sound and ready to go. He is a real eye catcher where ever he is. He belongs to a close friend of ours and he just got too tall to be a good calf roping or heeling horse. For sale for only $6500.00. He would bring more than that at a ranch gelding sale, but he needs to sell quickly as the owner needs the money.

2-A} DRIFTERS BUM -- 2003 DUN / GRAY COLT. Sire: War Chiefs Pride (Drifter) Double bred Driftwood horse that has conformation & ability. (See his page). Dam: Elegant Blues by Barts Bartender, AQHA points in 5 events. PRCA roping horse. This daughter of Bay Elegance (also the dam of Classical Silver), has been a phenomenal producer. The first two are already winners and her 2 year old, Drifter Dunit, rides like a five year old. Right after we gelded her yearling, 2 people wanted to buy him for a stallion, including a lady in the UK that we had already sent horses over to. A 3/4 brother by Drifter out of another daughter of Barts Bartender is the 2003 halter champion in the UK. All three of Elegant Blues foals by Drifter are pictured below along with the yearling in the UK. He has been shown in the Oklahoma FQHR Show and won his class and won the yearling stakes class winning $600.00. If you want a horse to show that will win big in the FQHR and make an AQHA show horse as well, you need this colt. He is started under saddle and rides really smart and gentle!!. We loaned him to a neighbor last Saturday (May 5) and he used him to rope and drag calves to the branding fire. He rode like he had done it all of his life. This is going to be one big stout horse that pulls hard off of the horn and will 'work' for a living or carry a weekend cowboy around in style. $$$$$$ Sold and went to Hilda Baker in Caldwell, Texas.

5-A} DRY FRECKLES BOON -- 2000 BAY GELDING -- SIRE: Freckles Boon, NCHA money earner by Freckles Playboy out of a Boon Bar mare. Dam: Grandaughter of Dry Doc.

We have owned this 15.2 hand gelding for 6 years. He has been Pete's personal mount this whole time. He has roped and doctored cattle in the pasture and been used to do all kinds of ranch work. He is REALLY COWEY! I mean you will have to grab the horn to stay with him. He had some cutting training before we got him and has done a lot of sorting and working in the corral.. He would make a WORLD CLASS penning or sorting horse. He is not for a beginning rider. He can be a tiny bit cold backed after a long lay-off. But, he is so well trained, an experienced rider can turn him around a couple times, back him up a few steps and he will ride right off. He is not a bronc, but would intimidate a green rider. He is well-mannered and gentle, easy to catch and easy to get along with. This good looking gelding is really stout -- a real powerhouse. He is 100% sound and ready to go do a day's work or go to a penning. He is a really hard stopper and has a nice turn-around. He will slide a pretty good ways, has a nice lead change and would go to AQHA Ranch Versatility classes with very little additional work. He is pictured in his winter clothes, but he is a really good looking and very correct horse.

He would not be for sale if Pete had not had open heart surgery last fall. He still rides very little and is definitely over-mounted now on this gelding now. Cheri has been taking out trail rides with him, but needs to be riding the young colts for that. He just needs a real job. If you are looking for a good looking ranch gelding, he is the real deal. $6,000.00

8-A} - COLONAH [Registered name 'Barbs Pocopeppy'] 10 year old APHA Grandson of Peponita. Absolutely 'drop dead' gorgeous tri color bay / white Tobiano APHA Gelding. He is big and stout and can carry any person all day, every day. He stands 15.2 and weighs 1200#

This is the best broke gelding you will ever have the opportunity to buy. We sold him 8 years ago to a lady in California. She has done everything on this gelding from trail riding him with large groups to ride alone in the desert to work cattle. He is absolutely traffic safe and ready to go on any trail or ranch in the Country. Colonah has has show training and reining training as well. He never misses a lead and has a beautiful lead change, rollback and stop. He is 100% in every way. He is sound, clips, hauls, handles easily for anything you want to do. We have seen geldings sell for more than $20,000.00 that cannot hold a candle to this horse.

His owner bought a Palomino filly by our stallion, Flash, and is going to show her in Reining and Reined Cowhorse competition on the West Coast. She does not have time to ride both horses so is reluctantly offering Colonah to a good home. He is located in California in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. If you are looking for that special kind of head turning horse, this is it. He is guaranteed in every way. $$$$$ FOB Santa Ynez, CA. Hurry -- he will sell quickly. Call us here in Oklahoma and we will make arrangements for you to see him and ride him in California.. 'Click' on the small pictures to see a full size photo. Colonah has been sold in California to a friend of Dennis Quaid. We wish them the best of luck with him and know they will just love him. Thank you for all of the inquiries.
