Ike my Buckskin Quarterhorse Gelding Trained on Trails
Ike is SOLD
Big Well Muscled Gelding
For the past week, has been riding Ike out on the trials,a lot of creek crossings, steep uphill and downhill work, and a lot of miles. Ike has gone to a real metamorphosis he definitely is a different horse. I personally have not seen that great a change in course in such a short period of time he has gained so much more confidence in himself and his rider.
Here’s a great photo shot by Stephanie from Ike’s back of a cow elk going down the same trail with no problem
Smart Choices when Riding Horses
Cross That You are Ready for it
Making Smart choices while horse back riding, kinky both you and your horse safe, don’t let your ego take over. Stephanie, had a two-year-old out for his first ride his eighth right overall, went left out of our campsite, and there was this scary bridge to cross, I asked her if she wanted me to help lead the horse across the first time, she said no I’ll go the other way and off she went down the little country road.
Two hours later Stephanie had made a loop up the mountain and returned to that same bridge from the opposite direction, only this time the colt had more confidence, more training, and more incentive to cross that bridge, because camp and his horse buddies were on the opposite side. No more scary bridge, just a more confident horse

I lost some Ben K Green Horse Books
After 4 years I finally asked my wife where they might be and guess what, yep 30 seconds later there they were.

Just Listed Colleen 2003 Red Roan mare on Craigslist
Check out my ad on Craigslist: Click Here!
Four Drift Colleen is a stout heavy boned mare with Joe Hancock And Driftwood bloodlines, Colleen is nicely started and doing well, but has not had enough riding time on her for a child or beginning rider. Colleen would make a great trail horse or breed her to get colts that hold up under heavy use, I bought Colleen when she was 5 months old, I was going to use use as a broodmare but I quit raising colts a couple of years ago and I need to reduce my herd.
I have dropped my price on Colleen as I’d rather sell her locally than send her back to Montana where I bought her, seems to be a little stronger market for ranch bred mares there. However if you are someone looking for a horse bred to work and hold up under heavy use, that you might raise a colt out of later, Give me a call, my wrangler will be around this week and you can come and take a look. There will be absolutely no sales pressure, I enjoy showing my horses to interested buyers.. I will be selling more horses this summer, so if Colleen don’t strike your fancy, maybe one of the others will.
