Yankee

Description

Yankee is a 2016 blood bay Quarter Horse gelding standing at 15.3 hands—not only tall, dark, and handsome, but with impeccable manners and the sweetest personality. He's the kind that everyone wants to take home and call theirs. Standing 15.3 hands, gorgeous blood bay with a super long mane and tail, this gelding will get attention every step he takes. Yankee is quite versatile with a pretty big resume—he has quite the accomplishments, buckles, and ribbons. Yankee has a very elegant and classy style, and I believe he would excel in Western dressage. He also looks unbelievable in an English saddle. An excellent mover with a magnificent long trot, slow and smooth jog, and a rocking-chair lope that you could ride all day. In or out of the arena, this guy handles the trail course flawlessly—crossing logs, bridges, and jumps. He willingly side passes to gates and ground ties where you drop a rein. We have roped cattle on him and used him all over our ranch. He's a kind soul that wants to be your best partner. Yankee is 100% gentle, tolerant, and kind for a beginner, kid, or great grandma—a great confidence builder that knows the ropes. He stays gentle with time off and is the same sweet and honest boy every time you saddle him—absolutely no silly business. Yankee trail rides like a dream and is confident alone or good in a group. A happy camper in all situations, he crosses running water, deep mud, thick brush, navigates through prickly cactus, and has seen lots of different terrain. Yankee loves attention and is easy peasy to catch in the pasture—he walks right up to you and follows you around. Great with other horses in the pasture and side by side in a stock trailer, he stands tied patiently for hours and is always respectful of people and all animals. Yankee knows some fun tricks and will lay down with a touch of the finger and pick up your rope or hat from the ground. Accustomed to dogs, heavy traffic, gunfire, machinery, and tarps, Yankee is going to make someone amazing. He ticks all those boxes with his stellar looks, gentle demeanor, black-type pedigree, and a huge performance record. Good bloodlines produce solid-minded, trainable, and good horses.
