Cody is a great trail horse. He is a beautifully built 2018 Missouri Foxtrotter gelding who will go all day. Cody has been ridden all over the mountains of Montana and Idaho. He can gait smoothly along the trail or effortlessly switch gears to match slower, non-gaited horses. He walks first or last in large groups or willingly leaves the group altogether if you ask him to ride out on his own. Cody is very fun to ride.

Cody is truly a mountain horse. He is most at home climbing hillsides and negotiating tricky trails. He has a big motor with a lot of heart that doesn’t quit. Cody has a very comfortable trail walk and glides out very smoothly, coordinated and sure-footed on even the rockiest terrain.

Cody is an expert at standing patiently tied, highlining like a champ, and wearing hobbles like he was made for it. He stands nicely at the hitchrail or patiently highlined all night long. Cody will lead out gaiting or at a trail walk, leading a string and can easily be packed. Cody crosses bridges, goes through water, over logs, or wherever you point him. Cody is unfazed by dogs running under his feet, traffic, four-wheelers, side-by-sides, tractors, or trucks. He does not buck, bite, or kick at dogs, livestock, or other horses and mules along the trail.

Cody accepts a bit nicely, yields to gentle pressure on all four quarters, and is learning to side pass and open gates. He offers his feet easily and stands for the farrier. Cody loads well into trailers and stands for tacking up, bathing, clipping, and grooming.

Cody is not the ‘in-your-pocket’ type—he is a business horse; he prefers to know his job and do it well. He will follow another horse anywhere, or he can lead out on his own just fine. Cody has carried young people and beginners, although he is better suited as a more advanced rider because he does best if he can follow clear expectations from his rider.

Cody is an easy keeper, holding his weight well even through cold Montana winters or after several weeks camping in the mountains. He is always the first to accept an invitation from our Colts to play. He fits in well with other horses and isn’t a bully but will hold his own. Cody also loves to go swimming!

Cody has proven himself to be a reliable trail mount and an excellent hunting and packing companion. Please call us if you’d like to learn more about Cody.
