Pontus

Day in and day out I get asked do you have a horse that is pretty, well broke and I can put my kids on? Most don’t realize what that question actually means and what It takes to make that horse. It takes a lot of training and countless hours of exposure to just about everything to make a safe mount that anyone can ride.
Well, here’s that horse you all have asked about , meet Pontus.
Pontus, is a handsome 6 yr old 15.3h Blue Roan Percheron QH Draft Cross Gelding. Pontus came from the mountains of Idaho where he spent the last few years at an Outfitter Company. He was used on Elk hunts, Deer Hunts, Bear hunts, camping trips and other excursions where he carried customers with and without riding experience through just about anything you can think of. He is extremely sure footed, has crossed endless creeks and lakes, climbed miles of steep mountains, crossed many bridges, camped for countless hours and packed 100’s of pounds of meat in and out of camp. He has seen more in the past 6 years than most horses have seen in a lifetime. We have swung the rope off him, worked cattle, dragged logs, swung tarps over his head and thrown everything at him and he has taken it all extremely well. Pontus had a one hand neck rein, he’s soft in the face and sides, has a big walk when asked, an extremely smooth trot and a rocking chair like lope like a small quarter horse. He rides well in the arena, he knows his leads very well, will side pass the best and will pivot on both sides. Whether your looking for a solid and safe trail horse or a horse that can be used on the ranch or plan to go camping and hunting he will fit that bill and look great doing it with his flashy blue color! Pontus is in the prime of his life and more than willing to go in any direction you choose. We would love to have you come over and try him out.
