💥 Kind, Easy, Talented!

❤️Meet Rip

💥2020 AQHA Bay gelding by The great horse, Spooks Gotta Whiz x Smart Like Shiner (Smart Like Juice x Wind Her Up Shiner)

💥Stands Approx 14.2hh

💥NRHA LTE close to $11k

💥Sound, kind and no vices. Good to do everything with.

💥Very well schooled, big maneuvers, super fun smooth sliding stop, simple to change leads and plenty of turn!

❤️Rip is just a little unicorn gelding! This is a talented attractive, gelding, who is smooth to ride in all paces (you could ride his lope all day long and not have a sore bone in your body!!) and very well schooled, with a successful show career to date. He’s super fun to stop and goes to the ground every time, even if you get it wrong, he’s a great confidence giver! He has plenty of foot speed and turns great, easy to change leads on a straight line or the circles. Rip will not go faster than you tell him, and is the same horse every day! Ride him once a week or every day, he’s the same. Keep him at home or the trainers, and have fun with some other events too. He’ll stand out in the ranch riding, with his smooth ground covering trot. Rip has proven himself great with the greenest of riders but will step up easily for the more competitive. This makes him ideal for anyone from Youth and green all the way to non pro and he will make an absolute killer rookie horse. He still has a Derby year (or two!) left and will be a super fun and competitive horse for his new rider.

❤️Don’t miss out on this awesome gelding! We highly recommend him!

💥Open Talent, Rookie gentle!

❤️Meet Big Jack!

💥2020 15.2hh drop dead gorgeous, dapple palomino gelding by Gotta Twist it up.

💥NRHA lte over $11,100 in open and non pro.

💥Big beautiful paces, smooth to ride and a lope to die for!

💥Extremely kind and gentle, he has adapted to almost any level of rider from open level 4 riders to completely green riders and he is always good!

💥100% sound and no vices, great to do everything with.

❤️We love Big Jack!!In fact we love Big Jack so much we booked a breeding to his sire Gotta Twist it Up for our good mare! We want one just like this! Jack is a rare combination of dynamic open (or top level non pro) ability with huge maneuvers and a gentle puppy dog personality, who is quiet enough for a green, rookie or youth rider. For a big horse he is light and quick on his feet, with incredible foot speed in the turns, a huge smooth sliding stop, super easy lead change and could plus one his circles all day long! Jack is very smooth to ride, extremely well trained and would be a world class ranch event horse too. This is an extremely special horse, and someone is going to have the greatest once in a lifetime horse!
