LOPIN A GOODRIDE

There are plenty of talented young horses out there. There are plenty of gentle horses out there, too. But finding a 3-year-old with the talent, experience, looks, and genuinely safe disposition to put the whole package together is a different story. Meet Lopin A Goodride, better known around the barn as “Loper.” Loper is a stunning bay roan gelding who is the kind we are always looking for and rarely find. He has the mind of an older horse, the experience to already be useful, and all the natural ability you could want in a young gelding with his entire future still ahead of him. If we had to describe Loper in one word, it would be easy. He is exceptionally gentle, quiet, and uncomplicated. Loper is the type you can saddle up, step on, and go enjoy. He is sensible, willing, and confident, and he’s just as enjoyable outside the arena as he is inside of it. Loper has been used on the ranch, covered plenty of ground, trail ridden, and knows what it means to go out and work. He’ll open and close gates, ride through the pasture, and comfortably handle whatever situation you through at him. He is an absolute pleasure down the trail.Loper is relaxed, sure of himself, and happy to go where you point him. He is sure footed as the come, safe, and confident as he goes. Loper crosses water, opens gates, and carefully navigates terrain. His quiet demeanor makes him one we feel the whole family can be around and enjoy. He is happy to take on any new adventure you throw at him. Go to a Ranch Horse show one weekend, and a Hunter/Jumper show the next. Then load up and head to the mountains to hit the trails. This big boy won’t let you down. Then, there’s the way this horse moves. Loper has an exceptionally smooth, comfortable gaits. A lope that you’ll want to sit on all day and a beautiful, floaty trot that immediately gets your attention. He travels naturally and comfortably, and his quality of movement is one of the things that makes us especially excited about his future. With his experience, quiet mind, movement, willingness, and natural athletic ability, we think Loper has all the makings of a seriously nice horse for any avenue you want to pursue. You don’t have to choose between safe and talented. You don’t have to choose between pretty and useful. And you certainly don’t have to choose between a horse you can enjoy today and one with enough potential to make something special tomorrow.
