| Big John is a 10 yr old, 15.1 hand, 1275 lb outstanding ranch gelding. This is a superior ranch gelding that we bought straight off the legendary Matador Ranch in West Texas, where he was bred and raised, and carries their brands. Always in a good cowboys string and used for all ranch duties, including catching and tying down cattle in the brush, loading trailers, doctoring wheat pasture cattle, brandings and ranch rodeos. Big John is stout and strong, good bone and foot (wears a #2 shoe) lots of muscle and shape, big hip, deep in the heart girth, cinches up deep with a good set of withers to hold your saddle and handle anything you have to rope with ease. Can drag a big calf to the fire and will hold a rope to doctor one in the pasture. This is a real gentle horse with a big soft eye that has lots of manners and is a pleasure to be around and a blast to ride. He’s very cowy and will sure watch one and get in front of one like a much smaller horse. Big John has roped some in the practice pen on both ends, but has never been hauled to any team roping’s, no issues at all. Could easily make a big time head horse in an instant and I think an even better bustin’ horse! Gentle and stays gentle but athletic and talented enough to please any cowboy out there! Tended lots of cattle in big rough country and he’s as good outside in the brush and rocks as you could ask for. Sure nuff boss man kind of ride and whoever is on him, he will shine at all tasks. |

“Kansas” 2019 AQHA Gelding $28,000.
Sold: Thank You Meg-Louisiana
| Kansas is a 4yr old, 15.2 hand, 1200 lb, striking AQHA registered blue roan ranch gelding. This one is special to me and is an exceptional young horse that has all the looks and ability you could ask for. Made like the athlete he is, big hip, good set of withers, deep heart girth, good bone and foot, and keen headed. We bought Kansas last year from the folks that bred and started him. Been used outside as a ranch horse since his start. Lots of outside miles tending cattle, been in the feed yard, has taken care of calves and yearlings in the wheat patch, roped cattle outside and in the branding pen. He will flat roll to one and drag his fanny to stop, will work a rope to tie one down, pulls strong by the horn and can drag a big calf to the fire or a cow in the trailer. Been in some thick brush, cactus and rocks, will cross water and has been used with dogs to get cattle out of the thick with pricks. Kansas has a lot of ride for a bigger horse, snappy, quick footed, feeley and light. He is gentle, has an excellent disposition and the best work ethic you could ask for. The best young prospect to make a high end, open caliber rope horse we’ve had in a while. He has all the tools to be a superstar and has not been in or messed up in the box, just used outside and ranched roped. I have thoroughly enjoyed him this last year. He’s my kind of horse for sure and if I was the kind to keep one, he’s the kind!! |
