CHIC

Chic 2017 AQHA Buckskin Mare SHINED UP CHIC 14.3 hands

If there’s a “best one in the pasture” — this is her. Shined Up Chic is the kind that sets the bar higher than most ever reach. She shows up every single time with the same quiet mind, the same soft feel, and the same willing attitude. Time off doesn’t change her, new places don’t rattle her, and pressure doesn’t faze her. Saddle her up and go — she’s already there, ready and consistent. She carries that soft, reining-style feel everyone dreams about but rarely finds. Naturally collected, smooth through every transition, correct in her stop, and easy in her turnaround. She stays light, stays honest, and makes even complicated maneuvers feel simple. She’ll give a beginner the confidence to smile and still keep an experienced rider grinning from ear to ear. Her mind is as solid as they come. Flags, tarps, umbrellas, balls, bridges — she couldn’t care less. Wildlife, traffic, commotion, or brand-new environments — it’s all just another day for her. That level of mental consistency is exactly what separates a nice horse from one you brag about for years. And she is a true saint. The real kind. The kind you don’t think twice about putting anyone on. She is ready to hit the trail or into town — she takes care of whoever is in the saddle. Kind, forgiving, and dependable without ever feeling dull or boring. On the ranch, she’s the one you reach for. She has spent time on a large cow/calf operation — gathering, sorting, and branding calves. She handles it all with quiet efficiency and zero fuss. She’s confident in rough country, sure-footed, and stays with you happily all day long. She’s genuinely useful in every situation. She’s been started in the roping pen on both ends and is coming along nicely . She’s not marish at all, easy to handle on the ground, and a genuine pleasure to be around. Clips, ties, hauls, and stands quietly — no hassle, no nonsense. The kind you actually enjoy owning and showing off. Her pedigree backs every bit of her up. By Blanco Shine (son of Shining Spark) and out of a mare going back to Chic O Cody and CD Olena, she carries the kind of blood that produces dependable, thinking, cow-smart horses. It’s not just on paper — you feel it in her every step. Whether you want to ranch on her, show her in ranch riding or reining, rope on her, trail ride her, or trust her with your family — she fits the bill perfectly. She checks boxes you didn’t even think to ask for. And on top of all that, she’s a standout buckskin mare with real presence and class — the kind that turns heads and gets remembered long after you ride away. This isn’t just another nice mare. This is the one people wish they had bought. Longhorn Ranch Located in Paicines, CA Shipping available nationwide Dina – 831-537:1915
