Everyone who throws a leg over Pilgrim loves how he handles like a seasoned cowhorse! At the same time, Pilgrim has been all over the mountains and is gentle for all kinds of riders.

I purchased Pilgrim as a weanling, where he was the high seller at Fort Ranch, out of the great stud (who is no longer with us), QUITE A BOON. He has been a money earner in the NRCHA  hackamore class and has also done well in several local cowhorse shows. He loves to hook on to work cattle in the ranch cutting and especially loves to turn a cow down the fence!

I often use Pilgrim on the ranch as well, moving cattle, where he is great at reading cattle and helping me get the job done. Pilgrim is great for going all day in the mountains. He grew up on the plains and in the volcanic rocks and is the most sure-footed horse I have ever ridden. Even at high speeds, chasing cattle or colts through rocky country, he is excellent at rating his own stride and has never once tripped!

I have used Pilgrim as a lesson horse to teach movie actors how to ride a western horse, and every student has loved him. Even though he is great at lead departures and is by no means lazy, he is never one to "take off" with a student by accident.

Pilgrim is easy-going. Even if you don't ride him for a month or two, you can still pull him out of his stall and climb right on! Easy to lead, easy to trailer, and easy for the farrier!

If you are looking for an all-around ranch horse with plenty of cow savvy, Pilgrim is a great choice! I hope you'll give me a call!
