He is a true, bona fide ranch horse, a finished switch-ender team roping horse, and one of the safest, most dependable trail horses you will ever own. Horses with this level of experience, versatility, and honesty are extremely rare. Nelson is the ultimate confidence-builder.

He is the type of trail horse you can relax on, knowing he will take care of you every step of the way, whether you’re enjoying a quiet ride or covering long miles. In the arena, Nelson is broke, fancy, and soft. He carries a low head, stays collected, and lopes beautiful, correct circles.

He stands calm and flat-footed in the box, scores off your hand, runs hard, and has excellent rate to the cow.
