STARTED PROSPECTS

Driftin Zan is very well started ranch / cow horse prospect. She is a finished - ready to go Trail horse now.  She has had 2 or 3 years of trail riding experience but is just being started on cattle.   She is another horse that we raised and started and that has never bucked or made a mistake.   We do not think horses should need to be 'warmed up' or longed before they can be ridden.   When we start them, we train them to just stand quietly for saddling and mounting and they just ride right off.  This pretty young mare rides like that.  Anyone can catch her, saddle her, bridle her, climb on and ride off.   She has been in traffic, around cattle and has been ridden in the roughest country in the Arbuckle Mountains.  She, too, rides equally well in a large group and rides just as well off by herself.  She loads, hauls, ties, bathes, shoes, you name it.   She is 100% sound and ready to go.

She has a slightly 'bigger motor' that Drifters Blue Zip (2-B in trail horses) who borders on being 'lazy' and this mare will be a higher level sorting or penning horse and probably has a bigger stop and quicker turn-around in her.   She definitely has the ability to go into  competition and can still be a very pleasant trail and pleasure horse.  She likes people and comes to you in the pasture.   

With her Incentive Fund nomination, we think she is an excellent penning and sorting prospect that is really started right.   She is for sale now (before being worked on cattle) for $5000.00.

Dusty is started right.  He was started when he was a colt and then turned out because Cheri could not ride.  He has been brought back in and ridden for about 1 month at this writing (December, 2011) He has never tried to buck or make a mistake.  He is ready for anyone that knows how to finish a horse to go on in about any event.   He will be 'cowey', is athletic, willing and really fun to ride.   He has been out on the trail with other horses and by himself.  He is not spooky and goes anywhere you point his head.   He is a SUPER trail horse prospect if that is what you are looking for.  Before further training - $2500.00.

This sorrel gelding is VERY FLASHY!  He has four perfectly matched stockings.  He has gorgeous conformation and is 'correct' in every way.   He will mature around 15.1 or 15.2 hands.  

Socks is well-started under saddle and has never had a 'hump' in his back.  He is one of those rare horses that was 'born broke'.  He has had several rides in the canyons and mountains south of town and rides with the sure-footed trail confidence of a much older horse.   He goes anywhere you point his head with other horses and by himself.   He will leave a group of riders, never whinny and never look back.   He will be big enough to make a roping horse and a ranch horse.   He is already a better trail horse than many horses with a lot more age and experience.   You have got to see and ride this young gelding to appreciate his beauty and disposition.   He is another one that leaves the herd to come to anyone that enters his pasture.   

He is 100% sound and ready to go.  Before more training in the spring of 2012 -- $3500.00.
