Lot 22 Papa Smurf 2022 Percheron X Quarter Horse Gelding

Description:

Smurf is a stunning 2022 blue roan Percheron × Quarter Horse gelding standing 15.3 hands tall with the kind of personality that makes him impossible not to love. He is the first one to meet you at the gate every single day, always looking for attention and eager to be part of whatever adventure is next. Smurf genuinely enjoys being around people and has the willing attitude, natural ability, and desire to do things right that make a truly exceptional partner.

This handsome gelding has been thoughtfully started and exposed to a wide variety of experiences. He stands tied quietly, is excellent for the farrier, and is easy to saddle, bridle, and handle in every way. Smurf takes new challenges in stride and approaches life with a calm, curious mindset. He has all the fun party tricks too—he confidently works with tarps, flags, balls, and sleds, side passes over to the mounting block for easy mounting, and even lays down on cue.

Out on the trail, Smurf is sure-footed and willing. He navigates water crossings, bridges, creeks, thick brush, bogs, and other natural obstacles without hesitation. He has been on overnight camping trips, loads and travels with ease, and settles into new environments like an old seasoned horse. Whether you're exploring new country or enjoying a leisurely ride with friends, Smurf is the kind of horse that wants to go with you and take care of his rider.

In the arena, Smurf walks, trots, and lopes with ease, offering smooth transitions, a soft stop, a willing backup, side pass, and easy turns both directions. He has also been started over cross-country jumps and shows a natural, forward-thinking style with a pleasant, athletic way of going. With his combination of size, color, personality, and versatility, Smurf has unlimited potential to continue in ranch work, trail riding, versatility events, lower-level eventing, or simply becoming someone's once-in-a-lifetime partner.

Smurf is up to date on dental, chiropractic care, farrier care, worming, and coggins/health.
