2018 AQHA Gelding
14.3 hh
Lynx is a 2018 AQHA gelding with a golden combination of pedigree, training, and temperament that is hard to find. Standing 14.3 hands and weighing 1,200 lbs, he’s built strong and balanced, with the kind of substance that can carry a rider all day. Bred for both brains and ability, he goes back to Smart Little Lena on the top side, and Doc’s Hickory and Peppy San Badger on the bottom—proven bloodlines known for their athleticism, cow sense, and rideability.
In the arena, Lynx is polished and responsive, knowing all the reining maneuvers and performing them with ease. He’s been shown in ranch riding, hauled to local shows, and always handles the atmosphere with composure. His gaits are a pleasure—he has a smooth, ground-covering extended trot and a comfortable rocking chair lope. He’s well on his way with his lead changes, has a big, correct stop, and moves off the leg with precision. Lynx has also been roped on in the pasture, roped the Smarty, and taken everything in stride, showing his versatility and willing attitude.
Equally dependable outside the arena, Lynx is a dream on the trails, whether you’re riding alone or in a group. He’s sure-footed, confident, and has been ridden by kids, proving his gentle nature and reliability. Safe, sound, and seasoned, this gelding is the kind that lets you relax and enjoy the ride—whether that’s in the show pen, working around the ranch, or heading down the trail. Lynx offers the total package: quality breeding, proven training, and an unflappable disposition, making him the perfect partner for riders who expect the best.
100% Sound, Safe and Gentle

Jared Meyer Performance Horses was built on a foundation three generations deep in horsemanship. Jared’s love for horses began before he could walk, riding in front of his grandpa, Merlin Meyer, with his father, Denny, close by. Both men were pillars of the local horse community—raising, training, and showing horses while passing down the values of good stock, honest work, and treating horses like family.
Growing up in Bernard, Iowa, Jared was immersed in the western lifestyle. Countless fun shows, rodeos, and sales shaped his skills and appreciation for versatile, well-broke horses. In high school, Jared and his brother Joel competed in Saddle Bronc with the Wisconsin High School Rodeo Association, carrying that competitive drive into college at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, WY. There, Jared earned his degree in Equine Management and Training while competing successfully on the rodeo team.
After college, Jared returned home to train and market horses alongside Joel on the family ranch. In 2020, he launched Jared Meyer Performance Horses with a clear mission: to offer high-quality western performance horses that are also safe, dependable, and enjoyable for the whole family.
Today, Jared trains his own string of ranch, roping, and trail horses, and is an active PRCA team roper, heading at rodeos across the country. He also manages a broodmare band on the 35-acre pasture behind the home farm, ensuring the next generation of horses continues the Meyer family legacy—blending performance, versatility, and a temperament anyone can trust.
