“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!! |
