CD City Lights or "City" is a 2014 red roan gelding. Own son of $234,000 winning stud CD Lights and out of Double Spoonful, a daughter of Hes a Peptospoonful by Peptoboonsmal. He has been shown in the reined cow horse since he was 3, mainly in high school and local shows, but has been out since 2021 to become a ranch horse. He is the best horse I've ever owned. He's got a very gentle and kind disposition, has had kids as young as 3 ride him and was used as a lesson horse for kids with autistim. He loves kids and you can see him soften up whenever they are around him and he knows just how small and unstable they can be and adjusts himself to care for them. I've queened off of him and got compliments every where I went. He's also had a rope thrown off him, but I'm no roper so I won't claim him as a rope horse, but I know he could easily be. City's got the temperament to do absolutely anything you want him to and he will do his best to please you. I've taught him some tricks in the past, like picking you up at the mounting block or giving fist bumps and he's very easy to teach. You can put this gelding away for a year and he'll be the exact same horse you put away. The reason for selling is I no longer have the ability to show him as I married a ranching family. He's safe on trails, but he trips a little when in sagebrush because he's used to an arena. He's fantastic on trails though, not much will scare this horse and he is always conscience about his rider. When I go trail riding, hes always the horse that I put people who dont know anything about horses on because I trust this horse and know he will do nothing, but watch out for them. Right now, I'm riding him in a 2 rein set up with him packing a spade bit, so he can be put in anything you want. I know it'd take very little to get this horse back in the show ring. The only thing that would need work is his slide stop, but that's because I don't have good ground to stop him in, but I know he'd pick it back up like it was yesterday. Cows are his specialty. He absolutely loves working cows down the fence and he always keeps his rider in mind. It does break my heart to watch him go, but I feel terrible about letting him sit. His only maintenence is he requires consistent farrier work, meaning being on top of his shoeing. I do pull shoes in the winter, but when riding him hard, he needs shoes. I will require him to go to a good home and will be picky on who he goes to. This horse is truly special. 25k OBO video links will be sent on request.
