About
Hickory is a very attractive well trained and gentle 5 year old 15 hand bay gelding. It’s hard to fault this beautiful and well put together horse anywhere. He is classy to look at and really fun to ride! Hickory comes from a good friend of ours whom is a great hand and has this horse working very well. Light one hand neck rein and moves off your leg with ease. Lopes out of his tracks on cue and stops like a dead-end street! He will roll back over his hocks and lope off the other direction with grace and ease. Has a nice turn around as well. Hickory is a solid and safe horse to ride on any of our busy streets as well as on the ranch and in the steep tough country and technical trails. Leads, follows, goes out in large groups or alone, he is good about it all. He goes wherever we point him thru or over anything we ask with confidence and ease. He won Barbara over when she rode him on the full moon ride and the moon was not up yet. He led a large group through some steep trails in the pitch black and he as solid, steady and confidant. This is a great ranch horse, trail horse, team sorting horse that is quiet minded yet handy. He spent two months on the four sixes sorting and branding calves. Hickory has no bad habits or vices and is an absolute pleasure to be around. Very safe sane and sound with a great disposition and has been in good hands his whole life. This has been Barbara's personal horse. She was not going to sell him however he is too good a horse and she has not been using him enough.
