2015 AQHA Sorrel Gelding
14.2/14.3 HH and well built.
Grandson of Gallo del Cielo this gelding has a lot of great names on his papers like Peppy San Badger, Smart Little Lena and Shining Spark.
Shady started his career as a working cow horse and has a really nice handle. Collects, side passes, counter arcs, big stop, you name it he has all of the buttons.
He has spent countless miles outside checking fence, gathering, branding, sorting. You can’t find a nicer horse to ranch on, not buddy sour, go all day, rope anything and easy to get along with.
We have headed and heeled on him, even hauled him to jackpots on both sides but not selling as a rope horse. He works great on some cattle then gets strong and runs through the bit on the head side with no rate. On the heel side he works great on one then runs past the corner on the next. Someone with more time may be able to fix him.
This nice gelding has never offered to buck, rear, or pull back and has no bronc to him but he can be watchy on the ground. For that reason, I wouldn’t recommend him to a green rider for these reasons but he is safe to ride.
