1-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 8 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 and pasture. 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 could 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 and cannot do the work any more. He still rides very little and is definitely over-mounted now on this gelding. 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. $4,000.00

2-A} STORMY FLASH [Slick]--2007 Bay Gelding -- Sire: Call Him The Flash, a super finished reiner that is drop dead gorgeous with AQHA reining points. Dam: Berts Stareu Tu - A really nice ranch and rodeo mare that had been roped off of and used on the ranch for many years. She was Fisher Ranch Breeding (Bert and Oklahoma Star).

Slick is another big (15.2 hand) gelding that needs a job. He has been pasture ridden and ranch used a LOT. He has roped and doctor cattle in the pasture. He is big and fast and very quick footed. He will go anywhere you point his head. He is a really solid trail horse. He may be too much horse for a beginning riders. He has no buck or bad habits and is absolutely a well mannered gentleman, Ties, hauls, shoes -- everything -- the very best. He can go all day and carry a big person doing it. He is being started on working cattle and learning to handle them now (fall 2011). He is REALLY taking to working bison and cattle in the big round cutting pen. This could sure be his calling. The picture appearing below was after les than 2 weeks after working his first bison in the big round cutting pen. He is carrying a rider that has never worked cattle before and she is just hanging on for the ride. This gelding really wants to work a cow (or bison). $4500.00 before more cattle work (fall, 2011).

3-A} DRIFTERS ZIP -- 2007 Grullo turning gray gelding. Sire: War Chiefs Pride (Drifter) Double bred Driftwood horse that has conformation & ability. (See his page). Dam: Home raised super gentle pleasure bred mare. She is the kind anyone could ride from about her 3rd or 4th saddleing. She is still here carrying small children on our trail rides. They do not come any more gentle natured and all of her sons and daughters are just like her.

This extremely good looking gelding has been gentle since his first saddling. I was leading trail rides with him since he was a 2 year old. He was born broke. He is the kind that you can leave out in the pasture for 3 or 4 months, bring him in, saddle him up and ride him off. Absolutely anyone that can pick up the reins can ride him -- either by himself or with 100 horses on a big trail ride. We loaned him to a friend from California last year to take on an AQHA trail ride. No one could believe he was only 3 and that she had never ridden him before. He is that way every day of his life. He has been used to check and gather cattle and has done a little sorting, but no one has ridden him that asked for a LOT of quick moves so he is by no means a finished sorting or ranch cutting horse. 100% sound. His feet are so good, he would probably never need shoes if he was not ridden in solid rocks like we have here. 'Click' on small photo to see a larger one. $5000.00.

4-A} FLASHY BLUE SLIDER [Blue]-- 2004 Gray gelding. Sire: Call Him The Flash, a super finished reiner that is drop dead gorgeous with AQHA reining points. Dam: Classy Good Girl, a ranch used mare we raised and still have. Very pretty and correct gelding. Really big and stout gelding. He stands 15.3 hands. 'Blue' is drop-dead gorgeous

He is very well broke. He is big, deep in the heart and has an endless amount energy. He has a big motor and would be too much horse for most beginners, but would make a ranch horse, trail horse or pony horse for a big man that wants to go all day. Our 6'4" 270 pound son can ride him all day. Is is super smooth gaited and willing to go anywhere or do anything. He has perfect manners, is 100% sound and just needs a job. He is extremely athletic for a big horse and would make a good heading prospect or a team sorting / penning horse for a big person. He is VERY strong and VERY quick. He is being started on working cattle and learning to handle them now (fall 2011). He is REALLY taking to working bison and cattle in the big round cutting pen. This could sure be his calling.

The young lady helping us with our horses thinks he would make a nice hunt seat over fence horse. If we have time, I may have her ride him some under an English saddle. He is really a pretty mover and is SUPER SMOOTH. $5000.00 (fall 2011) before more training on cattle. All photos were taken fall, 2011 (photos are thumbnails)
