🐴 Exemplifying his name, Top Notch stands out with his exceptional qualities. He's got the looks, he's got the demeanor, & he's got the personality.
This horse is kid gentle, easy to ride, & fun for the whole family. Lay him off for weeks & he will come back the same sweetheart you put in the pen. Standing at an elegant 15.1 hands, this exquisite smokey buckskin boasts a striking confirmation.
Top Notch's journey spans branding, ranch work, trail adventures that stretch from Arizona washes to the heights of Idaho mountains, while also being exposed to most arena events. This horse lopes around one handed with a nice little smooth, hobby horse lope, has a nice turn around, & a nice easy sliding stop.
Even at his young age, he is the definition of trustworthy; I personally rode Top Notch through eight months of pregnancy until I could no longer fit in my saddle. His amiability & kindness are beyond compare. With confidence he treads over logs, crosses water, & ventures into various landscapes independently or accompanied!
Our ownership of Top Notch has been a source of profound joy, & we have cherished every moment spent with him. We are confident you will share in this sentiment as well.
Visit us in Wickenburg to experience firsthand the pleasure of riding this remarkable companion.
