Romeo's Rocketman

This is Romeo's Rocketman. If you want to put this current picture in your SOLD section on the internet, go ahead.  I call him Augie.  Just letting you know he's doing great.  A month ago I measured him and he was 15 hands already.  He's growing like a weed.   He goes on trail and is doing great.  He knows how to kick a ball while on his back and to walk up the mounting block.  Looks like he was the right choice.  He is spoiled.  Hope all is going well with you and Bill.

 

Linda Somers

This KMSHA yearling is everything you look for in a great trail horse. The picture show's him doing a perfect single-foot, he has a very natural 4 beat gait. He should be between 15 and 16 HH at maturity. He looks to be turning a red chocolate with a lighter mane and tail. He's powerfully built. If I was thinking about a future trail gelding, I would look no further than this guy. Out of Romeo's Journey and Charity. The price will go up as we start him under saddle in mid-summer.

Dietz's's Coal Miner


KMSHA reg.  Gelding has a wonderful gait.  Sweetly obedient to all requests. Has been trail ridden in Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas and of course, Illinois.  Coal is about 14' 3 hands.  He socializes well.  As far as trail obstacles - we haven't found any when riding Coal!  The tougher the trail the better.  He is stoutly built and will have no trouble carrying a good sized rider, but handles well for anyone. No vices.

horizontal rule

Big Shot

Big Shot is a 10 year old KMSHA gelding.  He looks intimidating - but is a pussy cat.  Pays attention but not at all nervous or jumpy.  His gait is great, but former owner did not pay any attention to it, so he needs to be reminded from time to time that you like it smooth.  He can do anything you ask on the trail.  Plus he can get out and fly when you put the boots to him.  Probably needs a rider with a little experience, although he hasn't done anything other than completely obey.  We have had him out camping and is also good on the picket line. He has had lots of trail riding and camping experience and has been trail ridden in Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico.

horizontal rule

Palomino gelding 

Palomino gelding dob - 3-25-01.  Has a good gait - will go anywhere.  Is happy to walk - but can move out if you ask.  Would be a good beginners horse but can give an advanced rider an enjoyable ride.  Real solid nature, not nervous at all, has never jumped at anything when we were riding him.  He's light now in winter coat, but former owner says he'll darken to nice color in spring, but not the real dark palomino. Is dappled with star and stripe.  Loads and all that good stuff.  This boy is laid back and calm, but will do the hard stuff without any excitement at all - see the picture going over the big log - his eye says ho-hum.  He's about 15'1. He is good with men and ladies the same.  He is double reg. Foxtrotter and KMSHA.

 

horizontal rule

Gambler Joe 

 Gambler Joe was purchased as a youngster and started on the trail by Cheryl Douglas.

"Joe is a great horse.  Calm disposition, no problems loading or with the farrier.  Does water and obstacles with no problem. As he is maturing, his gait is improving and he has filled out quite a bit.  Last year, as a 3 year old, he was a little nervous about being in the lead or at the back of a trail ride. This year, that's not an issue.  He also didn't like going out by himself last year.  This year, he was taken out many times by himself and did well.  Keeping up with Spanky wasn't possible last year.  This year, he can move out.  Not quite Spanky's speed but close.  Last year, we stirred up bees while riding in the Shawnee.  He didn't panic at all. Just gaited quickly out of the area.  No bucking, shying or spooking."

This gelding does not gait, he trots. He is a wonderful trail horse with plenty of get up and go, but soft on  the bit.

He has camped out with a picket line, is fine with loud traffic, water, jumps large logs, loads easily, and will take you up or down any slope if you ask him. At 15.3h he's a real head turner. Golden dapples and black points, black hooves that are very tough. Starbuck is our only horse that is not gaited.
