Let’s start the new year off with some champagne that’s safe and legal for everyone to enjoy and can be enjoyed on a budget! If you’re needing as close to an insurance policy in horse form as you can get, this is the guy. Dorado is 16yr old, 14.3hh, amber champagne gelding that’s the type you can throw anyone on and know they will be safe. From the trails to the arena he is unflappable, straightforward to ride, and will always be one of if not the most unique looking horse in the group. He’s the type that you can’t wipe the smile off your face when you’re riding him because he’s that fun. Dorado came across the southern border in 2018 and has been with the same family since here in Texas. He’s been used for basic ranch work (gathering/sorting/pasture roping) from south Texas to east Texas, used up at the sale barns, been trail rode everywhere in between, and has been the mount for the grandkids to ride around the ranch. Out on the ranch, Dorado makes even a long day enjoyable and go by quickly with his ground covering walk, his smooth trot, and his rocking chair type lope. He’s easy to use in the pens to sort some off and won’t object to the extra work if one needs roped. In the arena, Dorado won’t be the fanciest horse there but does everything with ease. He’s one hand broke, comes to a stop easily, will step right into a lope, picks up the correct leads, and won’t go faster than what’s asked of him. On the trails he’s the point and shoot type. There is nothing this gelding won’t cross and he has no problem making his own trail if you feel like going off the beaten path. Dorado is great with traffic, crosses all types of bridges, handles uneven terrain well, crosses water, and is pedestrian friendly. You can ride him bareback in a halter with no problems or ride him in any bit you want, ride him when it's sunny and 75° or ride him in the freezing sleet and Dorado is going to be the exact same for it all. Our 3yr old little boy, who isn’t a super confident kiddo, has ridden Dorado a ton and Dorado has never made us question our boy’s safety no matter the conditions or where Stetson has ridden him at; whether it’s just above freezing with 20mph wind gusts, riding out in the open, or riding in a brand new location. Dorado has always been patient with Stetson and has always taken care of him. When it comes to how he handles time off, we know for a fact you can leave Dorado off for 2yrs, saddle him up, and he will ride off like he’s been being ridden everyday as the first time we rode him he had been off that long for no other reason than his owner wasn’t able to ride. contact H Spur Performance & Versatility Horses Sarah 817-366-6123
