Duke is a VERY nice looking horse! My
aunt is selling him, if I had time for
another yearling I'd buy him! She calls
him Duke because he resembles a horse
that John Wayne rode. He is
unregistered; his dam is a bay
Morgan-cross and his sire is a NICE
Appaloosa stallion who has very nice
bloodlines that can be seen on request -
a pedigree full of good race and rodeo
horses. Please contact us for web site
info. This lil guy should mature to
around 15hh and be STOUT. I have had
several of his siblings by the same
stallion, and they are known for having
good, sensible minds, easy to train and
handle. They rarely ever spook and make
awesome horses for ranch, rodeo, trail
riding, endurance, and kids horses, and
I have never known one to go lame. I
sold a brother to this colt a while back
and he is ridden by a man in his 70's on
the trail... these are GOOD horses! I
have a few that I am in the process of
developing into great barrel horses, and
I am sure that this colt is not lacking
in any of those areas. He has not been
handled, but it has never taken more
than 2 weeks to gentle any of his
siblings who were also raised on the
ranch. It tends to make horses more
surefooted to be ranch raised rather
than pen-raised. You can rest assured
that this guy knows how to handle trees,
down logs, brush, ditches, wildlife,
etc.
If a 4-Her is looking for a
project horse, this is the one... he is
a clean slate, you would be the one
training him everything, you will have
no bad training to undo, he is gorgeous
and athletic and fast, definately show
quality, and like I said before, he will
be easy to gentle and train due to his
temperament and breeding.
He is
being offered so cheaply because #1 he
is not registered and #2 he has an
umbilical hernia. According to the vet,
it is a simple procedure to fix it, it
is just a small tear in the abdominal
wall from when he was born. The main
reason to even get it fixed would be for
cosmetic purposes, as "outie"
bellybuttons aren't as pleasing to the
eye. It will not affect his performance,
usefulness, or temperament, only affects
his apperance, and can be fixed quickly
and easily. If it were going to be a
health problem for him it would have
already happened, as he is a yearling
already. Email me and I will happily
send a pic of the hernia and more pics
of Duke, and pics of siblings and the
sire are also available.
