If she hasn’t already caught your eye, allow me to introduce you to Rugrat, a stunning true blue roan mare. Rugrat is a 7 year old AQHA registered mare who has been with us since we picked her out as a fuzzy little foal.
Rugrat stands 14.3, but don’t let her size fool you, she is absolutely brimming with muscle and is easily as wide as she is tall! It’s hard to find a more seamlessly built mare wrapped in a prettier color!
We raised, started, and logged many, many miles on Rugrat, both in the arena and out on the ranch. She is very mannerly, fits right in the middle of a mixed herd, and is the first to greet you at the gate each day. She is gritty, yet forgiving. She is butter soft in the bridle and truly has a featherlight touch in your hands, and stays soft, even for younger riders. She has packed experienced kids in the arena and tracked the dummy quietly and patiently while they learn how to handle their rope.
She is best suited for a rider looking for a step up from their first few old faithfuls, and are ready to experience a very well broke, turn key type ride. She is pretty automatic, yet still very easily molds to her rider. If you have an older kiddo who has flown through the old faithful, step up horse, and are now ready for that quick correct spin, huge stop, and really feely horse, she might be one to keep an eye on! She rides just as fancy as she looks!
Rugrat rides like a reiner in the arena and turns heads wherever we go. She has an elegant way of traveling that would make her competitive in ranch riding and reining. She has a naturally low head set, is flat through her top line, and really is a sight to see when she floats across the pen.
Rugrat is truly the perfect combination of arena AND ranch broke. Quite often, an arena horse just isn’t quite the perfect match for the trails as well, so it’s pretty nice to have two horses in one! One who can be proficient in the arena, then quietly mosey down the trail or go gather a pasture as the sun comes up.
Rugrat has roped and doctored her fair share of yearlings on grass and has drug many a calf to the fire at branding. She is easy to ride and reliable when you need her. She’s gathered the big pastures and enjoyed a quick evening ride to catch the sun going down.
We truly have enjoyed every second with this mare and the decision to offer her to the public hasn’t come lightly. She is one of a kind and won’t be replaced any time soon.
We want each and every horse we offer to have the most successful life with their new owner. So if you ever need a quick refresher, bring her back for a few weeks and we will sharpen up her skills or knock the cobwebs off after the long winter for free!
We encourage anyone interested in Rugrat to come take her for a test drive with us! Feel free to call, text, email, write…anything you need and we will do our best to answer your questions or get a specific video for you!
