Meet Bronson, a registered Quarter Horse bay roan gelding who is basically the equine version of that guy who shows up to work 15 minutes late with a snack in his hand. 😂
Bronson has been out of work for a little while and is now getting back into the swing of things. He is NOT a dead-beginner horse, but with a rider who has some basic horse knowledge, patience, and a sense of humor, he could be a really fun project.
Every once in a while, Bronson’s brain goes: “Wait…what was THAT?” 👀 investigate something shiny, but he comes right back to you. He's curious, not malicious.
As far as work ethic goes…well…let’s just say if Bronson entered a race against a turtle, I’d put my money on the turtle. 🐢😂 He is NOT naturally an overachiever. He'll get there…eventually…probably after a snack break.
He isn't much of a ring horse right now, and getting better each ride, although he certainly tries! Ella has taken him through the barrels, but he is not exactly built for speed and athleticism at the moment. With a good tune-up and some consistent work, I think there is definitely a fancy boy hiding in there somewhere.
Bronson's real talent is TRAIL LIFE. 🌲
He was previously someone's trail horse and knows how to confidently truck himself down the trail. Water? ✔️ Logs? ✔️ Woods? ✔️ Bronson: “Yep, sounds good.” He is happiest out exploring and is a very willing trail companion.
Around the barn, he's a gentleman:
🐴 Good in the barn
🐴 Great for cross-tying
🐴 Fly spray? No drama.
🐴 Picks up his feet
🐴 Doesn't crib
🐴 Doesn't weave
🐴 Great pasture mate
🐴 Will absolutely locate the round bale and make it his personal mission in life 😂
Now…let's talk about his one vice.
If you love your farrier and would like to keep them coming back, you may want to consider sedation for shoeing. 😂 Bronson had apparently never experienced shoes before, and his first shoeing adventure was…a shit show of historic proportions. 🤦♀️😂
We survived. Everyone survived. The farrier survived. Bronson survived.
He is actually very good for a trim, and the shoes were put on because he blew a nasty abscess.
Bronson was purchased for a client but ultimately just wasn't the right fit for them. I truly think this guy has potential with the right person and a consistent tune-up. He has the basics, a great trail brain, and a whole lot of personality.
Priced in the mid X,XXX range. 💰
If we continue putting training on him, his price will increase slightly.
He isn't a finished push-button show horse, and I'm not going to pretend he is. But for someone with basic horse knowledge looking for a handsome, uncomplicated trail horse/project with plenty of personality, Bronson could be your guy.
Come meet him and decide for yourself whether you're looking for a horse…or whether you simply need a large, handsome, bay-roan lawn ornament with occasional trail ambitions. 😂🐴
