"Hoot" is a 12 year old gorgeous red roan gelding. This is a nice horse that come from a small family ranch and has been turned out for about a year. He is smooth riding, very laid back (almost lazy), and real gentle. I think that most levels of riders will enjoy this horse. He has a neck-rein/ direct rein, stop, and back-up, and will ride with a loose rein maintaining his gait until you ask him to change. He is easy to catch, load, shoe, saddle, and mount. He has not gotten fresh after being turned out, and is calm in crowds, in the pasture, and on the trails. Livestock and wildlife do not bother him. This is a super nice, pretty horse that I feel will be good for a family, working ranch, or trails. This horse does have one issue that I think should be addressed. He does not like being penned with mares. He is okay with mares over the fence, but he will fight mares in the pen with him. He does not appear to be "proud cut" and calms down as soon as you remove the mare. He is sound and healthy, but since he does not fit our criteria, we are selling him "As Is".
