This gelding is a fan favorite around our place. We have owned Yogi for over a year, and he is part of the family. Yogi will literally do anything you ask him to do. He puts complete trust in his rider and is up for anything. We have even ridden this horse in downtown Nashville, Tennessee!!! Sirens, lights, traffic, gunfire, people everywhere; nothing fazes Yogi! This gelding has earned a real living on the ranch as well. From gathering and sorting to doctoring and branding, he has done everything there is to do on a real working ranch. He is really fun to ride and use outside. You can run one down, rope it, and then go back to leisurely riding along. Speed him up then slow him right back down. He has been on numerous hunting trips and is safe and solid in the mountains. He is sure footed, is steady leading the pack string, and easy to catch in camp. Yogi is also fun to ride in the arena where he is very broke. He lopes nice circles in both directions, side passes, rides off your seat and legs, is soft in his face and sides, has a true one hand neck rein and a nice stop. We have also used Yogi at the rodeos to shag bulls and pick up broncs. He is not fazed by the bright lights and the crowd of people. This gelding doesn’t just have to be a ranch horse, he is enjoyable to ride down the trail too. He is confident and will literally go anywhere you point him. He also stays gentle with time off. So, whether you ride him once a week or once a month you will have the same horse. This is a very fun, unique draft cross that is ready for any task you throw at him, and has the life experiences of ten lifetimes.
