Introducing Dave – 3 y/o AQHA gelding! If you’re looking for a well-started, young, and sound gelding to finish in whatever discipline you choose, look no further! Dave is 14.3 hands and should mature to 15.1 hands. This gelding is out of honest rope and ranch horses and he is going to follow suit. While Dave is only 3, we have exposed him to as much as we could possibly think of. We have horse camped on him in the Black Hills of South Dakota, ridden him in the hills and buttes of the biggest country in western South Dakota to precondition calves, gathered cows in the Sandhills of Nebraska, and checked pastures in the wet/muddy river valleys. We’ve ridden him outside through rain, hail, and sunshine and he’s never said “no”. Dave is always willing to learn what you’re asking of him, puts forth a huge effort, and is gentle as they come. He has a very laid back personality but still goes when asked. We have swung a rope off of him a few times, ridden him bareback, he lets us stand and swing all over on him, doesn’t care about dogs and kids running up behind and around him, and is used to working next to four-wheelers and side by sides. He crosses water, logs, bridges, and brush. Dave is great for the farrier, loads and ties great, and was very well-mannered at his health check prior to consigning to this sale. He pins his ears at cattle and shows plenty of interest in them. This young gelding has never taken a lame step and been a solid young mount for us. We feel that he will excel as a great rope horse, but will have plenty of strength ranching, and is easy going enough to turn right into a kids and family horse! If you have any further questions about Dave, call/text Emily Smith anytime at (619) 971-4539 or look us up on Facebook at Midwest Performance Horses LLC. Dave is available for viewing anytime in Box Elder, South Dakota!
