FS Nics Czech Mate affectionately known as Slider, is a 3 year old gelding by Nics Little Bud (LTE $136,000+ NRHA) who has produced money earners in reining, barrels, and VRH. Slider’s damsire Corona Czech is a multiple grade 1 stakes sire. This colt is bred to be an athlete and has the foundation to excel at whatever you choose. In the saddle he’s a comfortable forward ride, has a big stop, soft face and is responsive to what is asked. He has what many would call a “fancy” handle and is a very versatile horse. I’ve hauled him to the hills to trail ride, loped him around at shows, and even entered him in a ranch rail class recently for the experience. He has a nice turnaround, has been lightly introduced to lead changes, tracked cattle, and works the flag. In addition he has shown to navigate trail obstacles with ease. Slider would make a very nice ranch versatility horse and would certainly excel as a barrel or rope horse. The start he has should make the transition into any discipline a breeze. As for his demeanor on the ground, I couldn’t ask for a more pleasant animal to be around. He will walk up to meet you, is affectionate, curious and happy to hangout with you to enjoy some scratches. He hobbles, will stand tied all day, is great for the farrier and easy to clip. Slider currently stands between 14.1-14.2, he is UTD on everything. This is the type of gelding you see selling for big money down the road as a finished horse, don’t miss out on him now.
