🐴 Meet Zorro, affectionately known as "Z," a 2018 palomino AQHA gelding standing at 14.3 hands.
​
🎯 "Z" is sired by Wimpys High Bid, out of Plum Reyning.
​
Zorro or "Z" as we call him, is incredibly special - for so many reasons!. Zorro is rock solid and completely reliable in all aspects. He’s gorgeous to look at, bred incredibly well, and has NRHA LTE $4,962.74 and counting!
​
I was lucky enough to show him this year for the Rookie division, and he won every class I entered him in during our 2024 season. We decided to bring him to the NRHA Futurity show this year, last minute, and he was a rockstar there, too. He stays broke and is good turned out or in his stall, and he doesnt get fresh or act silly. Zorro is nothing if not consistent. Easy +1 spins and +½ all other maneuvers with ease.
​
He's about 14.3 hands and STOUT. He has a demeanor as kind as they come, and is absolutely stunning. Zorro has been ridden outside extensively, he's gentle enough for the complete beginner and small children to handle. He's proven himself a winner in the ranch horse classes and enjoys all aspects of the ranch classes - including trail! Zorro has been around cattle, dogs, children, etc. and I’ve never found anything that phases him. He will let kids ride him, he rides ba****ck without a bridle, he is ONE IN A MILLION.
​
If we didn't sell horses for a living, I would never part with this one. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for further information on him. He is totally sound and is always the easiest horse to be around and always does what you ask of him.

🐴 Meet Hollywood, a 2019 palomino gelding standing at 14.3 hands.
​
🎯 Hollywood is by HOLLYWOOD DUN IT, the legendary sire, and out of an incredible mare with progeny earnings nearing $200,000.
​
Hollywood is a finished reiner with all the bells and whistles. Hollywood has already proven him as an NRHA money earner - and is ready to continue! He’s so easy to ride and never wants to do anything wrong. He’s sweet as can be and a true favorite in our barn.
​
Hollywood jogs well, he has a killer lope - and he is super low headed in all maneuvers. He has a TON of stop AND turn. Hollywood is well suited for the ranch classes as well, and he’s good riding around outside. Do not miss out on the chance to own a piece of AQHA history and a stunning, finished reining horse with endless potential for the rest of his long life ahead of him!
​
He’s ready for his next rider and any job thats asked of him. 100% Sound and has never called in sick!

🐴 Meet R***r, a 2018 palomino AQHA gelding standing at 15.1 hands
​
🎯 R***r is sired by Whizkey On The Rocks, out of the mare, Gunners Masquerade, by Gunner
​
R***r is not only absolutely gorgeous, he is a true gentleman to be around! He’s as gentle as can be, so gentle that he lets young children sit on his back in his stall, and happily takes them for pony rides in the arena.
​
R***r is excellent in so many aspects - including the reining events. He’s earned a respectable $4,578.16 in NRHA money. R***r is wonderful in the ranch riding, as well, and has a lot of style to get you noticed right away. He loves being outside and will happily trail ride all day, if thats what you prefer! He is easy going and never crabby or sour. R***r’s manners are second to none, and he’s polite for grooming, bathing, clipping, and saddling. He is a big boy, but is happy to stand still at the mounting block for his rider to board. R***r’s gaits are all incredibly smooth and he is a beautiful mover.
​
If youre looking to go into the show pen, he has excellent sliding stops, spins, circles, and is push-button through his lead changes. R***r will be your next winning show horse or prized trail companion, and turn heads while doing it. In fact, don’t be surprised when people stop you to ask if they can take a picture with him, I’ve had that happen almost everytime we take him any place! He came from the original breeder and owner, he has not been passed around and is very special. R***r is one that checks all the boxes, don’t miss out on this one!
