Rudy is a 11 year old, flea bitten gray quarter horse gelding with nothing but more to love. At only 14.2 hands, if you're someone to say "I like a quarter horse, and I want them thick" - he is what you pull out of a hat. Weve had 5 years old ride him and hes took care of them every single time.
We were told this guy was a ranch horse that got used daily to push and gather cattle. And on the days off take for a trail ride. He will one hand neck rein, will lope circles in the arena, and knows his leads. Regardless, he is the same trip every time, and as sweet as can be!

He has seen our desensitization protocol, and went through it with ease. After day one the tarps, balls, ropes, and the works weren't much of anything he bats an eye for. He is a perfect "head to tail" partner to take out in a group, and really hasn't taken made much hesitation over anything while out exploring.
He has been through rivers, in our woods, and next to our busy road with the longhorns - and yes, maybe with a belly like that, he thinks he is one of the cows. When a friend drives in from the cities to ride, he'd be one I throw them on for a spin. He may not have much to him for the show pen, but if you want a fun one to enjoy at home with friends and family, you can't go wrong with this guy.
