POPPYBOONSMAL

Poppy Boonsmal, affectionately known as “Poppy,” is a 2019 gelding that combines athletic ability, real-world experience, and a great mind into one handy-sized package. Standing at an ideal size 15 hands, Poppy is easy to ride, easy to handle, and has the kind of practical experience that is hard to find. Backing up his ability is a pedigree packed with proven performance bloodlines, including greats such as Smart Little Lena, Smart Lil Scoot, and Peptoboonsmal! These legendary names are recognized throughout the performance horse industry for producing intelligence, athleticism, cow sense, and trainability—qualities that Poppy proudly exhibits every day. He has spent countless hours working at the sale barn, penning back cattle, loading trucks, and handling the daily demands of a busy operation. Outside of the sale barn, he has been used on the ranch gathering cattle, checking fence lines, dragging calves to the fire and covering rough country with confidence. He is equally as confortable in the arena as well. Poppy is very well broke, responsive, and willing, with a good handle and the athleticism to tackle whatever task is asked of him. He goes wherever you point him with confidence and has the kind of honest, dependable nature that makes him enjoyable to ride. On the ground, he is equally impressive. Poppy has exceptional ground manners, stands quietly for saddling, bridling, grooming, and mounting, ties patiently, loads and unloads with ease, and is respectful and easy to handle in every situation. His good mind, willing attitude, practical experience, and outstanding pedigree make him a versatile gelding that is ready to go to work for you. If you’re looking for a handy-sized gelding with proven bloodlines, real-world experience, excellent manners, and the athletic ability to get a job done, Poppy is the perfect package!
