AS Silver Okie Rio is the whole package big, color and handy! He stands 15.2 hands tall and is heavy made with great color. This one is handy as a pocket knife he can be roped off, shot off, dally and drag as well as go all day down the trail or around the ranch. Rio quiet and simple to get along with and he can live in a box stall or turned out in a mixed herd. He stands patiently on ties for grooming, saddling and for the vet/farrier. He goes around the arena English or western and ALL day long on trails. Rio is soft in his chin and flexes laterally and on the vertical in a snaffle or will gladly pack a finished bit. He will cross over dead fall, water and whatever else you approach out on trail or in rough country. He handles steep inclines and grades up and down with ease and sure footed as you expect any good trail mount to. He is safe around dogs and other farm animals as well as in traffic around farm equipment. Rio knows how to neck rein, leg yield, turn on forehand and haunches and takes his leads. He will trot poles and take a cross rail as well as jump logs or trees on trail. We have ridden Rio bareback in a halter to catch a loose horse or mule as well as used him to push cows from one pasture to the next. If you need to swing a rope off him and doctor a calf he is ready to work all day long. He is safe to shoot a pistol from and with a little fine tuning would make a nice mounted shooting horse. Rio is sound and has no vices or limitations. He loads in to any style trailer and off loads in new places quietly. As always we welcome vet checks at the prospective buyers expense. If you need assistance in looking for transportation we have a list of haulers we have used and recommend. LLocated in Everett, PA. Call Benny Hall 814-979-2046
