2013 Bay Paint Gelding

10 years old and about 15 hands

Cherokee is a super friendly "in your pocket" horse with tons of trail miles and a sweet disposition. He has extensive experience trail riding and does a great job holding himself at whatever gait you ask him for. He completed the trail program and has moved on to the performance program where he has been started on the barrel pattern and is doing really well. Kids and teens have done great taking lessons on him and he will make a great gymkhana horse. He has a good work ethic and loves to get out and train barrels or cover some ground on trail.

Cherokee is extremely respectful on the ground and my 7 year old son can easily trailer load him, brush, wash and take him over all of the obstacles. He hops in the trailer with a point and a click and can stand tied for hours. He has been hauled extensively and doesn’t mind being in any type of horse or stock trailer. He has been exposed to barking/snarling dogs, cows, Buffalo, cars, trucks, goats, donkeys, dirt bikes, quads, UTV’s, tractors, farm equipment, welding, jackhammering and everything you can imagine on trail. He has a nice smooth trot, comfortable lope and a confident walk. He can be ridden in various different bits and easily stops off your seat. He would be a phenomenal kid/teen Barrel or Gymkhana horse or go in pretty much any direction you like.

He is calm and safe enough that most anyone can ride him but he also has get up and go if you want to get somewhere or get work done. He is calm and easy with at least 3 days a week of work but is easy to get back there with a quick lunge if he sits for a bit, no nonsense he just gets energetic with time off.

Pre vet checked and up to date on teeth, vaccines, worming and farrier.
