Gunner is an old soul and a laid back, easy going horse for his years. He loves a leisurely trail ride and has also proven himself to be a nice arena horse too. We feel like he could go in pretty much any direction you’d like.
For a young horse we feel Gunner is about as husband safe and kid safe as you can get. He does great with deep water crossings, tarps, balls, dogs, cars, tractors, coyotes, dirt bikes, motorcycles, quads or anything else we have walked him over or thrown at him. He has an easy neck rein, a great stop and easily picks up his leads.My 6 year old can trailer load him, wash him, touch him anywhere, and walk him all around the ranch. He is the same dependable guy day in and day out whether in cold, rain, wind and even with time off after a quick groundwork session. He has been ridden by beginners, used for lessons and he has patiently babysat every rider on different trails, on the road and in the arena. He has been turned him out on pasture with many other geldings without any trouble.I can’t say enough good things about him for a family looking for a safe, calm and friendly trail horse. He has experience in the arena, on trail and doing many ranch chores but we have intentionally tuned him down to be a slow and safe all around horse.
Gunner has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. No maintenance.
