ALOHA

Aloha: AQHA HG Lolas Secret 2014 AQHA Palomino Mare

If you’ve spent enough years around horses, you learn that the pretty ones aren’t always the ones you enjoy owning. Then every once in a while, one comes along that has both. Aloha is that kind. With her golden palomino color, kind eye, and gentle disposition, she’s the mare people notice from across the pasture. But her beauty is only the beginning of her story. Aloha is the kind of horse that makes you want to ride. She is sired by KS Cash N Fame, a son of the legendary Dash Ta Fame, and her pedigree is stacked with proven names including PC Fire N Smoak, Doc’s Jack Frost, and Docs Oaks Sugar. The kind of breeding known for athleticism, cow sense, and versatility. But what makes Aloha special isn’t her pedigree. It’s the fact that she’s the same horse every time you catch her. She’s spent her life being useful. Gathering cattle, sorting pairs, working branding pens, and covering miles of ranch country. She has a job-first mentality and a willing attitude that never seems to change. In the arena, Aloha rides soft, picks up both leads, moves willingly off your leg, carries herself nicely, and has a comfortable way of going. She’s enjoyable to ride and easy to get along with. But if Aloha could choose her own schedule, she’d probably skip the arena and head straight for the trail. That’s where she truly shines. Whether it’s a ride down the beach, a day checking cattle, exploring mountain trails, riding through town, crossing water, or simply wandering down a country road, Aloha is happiest with her ears forward and somewhere to go. Traffic, bicycles, barking dogs, wildlife, bridges, water crossings, and the unexpected things that come with real-life riding don’t seem to concern her much. She takes it all in stride and keeps moving forward with the same calm attitude she’s known for. Aloha is the kind of mare that appeals to a wide variety of riders because she simply makes riding enjoyable. She’s not complicated. She’s not demanding. She’s the horse you look forward to saddling after a long day because you know exactly what you’re getting. A good ride. Around the barn she’s equally enjoyable. She stands tied, ground ties, bathes, clips, loads, hauls, and handles everyday life with the same easygoing attitude she shows under saddle. She’s happy in a stall, content in a pasture, and always ready when it’s time to go do something. The truth is, horses like Aloha are becoming harder to find. Not because they’re the fanciest. Not because they’re the most expensive. Because they’re the ones people hang on to. The honest ones. The useful ones. The ones that make every ride a little better than the last.
