2017 Draft-Cross Gelding

15.2 hh

Dale is a paint gelding whose rich brown-and-white coloring is as eye-catching as his steady, kind personality. This draft–AQHA cross is built with bone, substance, and the kind of good mind that makes him a pleasure to own. He has truly been there and done that.

Dale has confidently traveled busy state roads, handled traffic without a second thought, and explored countless miles of trails. He has crossed creeks and rivers, stepped over logs, climbed hills, and navigated a variety of obstacles—always with a calm, thinking approach.

Whips cracking, tarps snapping, jugs rattling, or gunshots ringing out—Dale handles it all with his natural, steady confidence. Under saddle, Dale is as versatile as they come. He has been ridden Western, English, and bareback, all with ease. He has a good one-hand neck rein, knows his leads, and is safe enough for anyone to ride.

His three smooth, comfortable gaits make him a joy to sit, and he is handy enough to side pass right up to the mounting block for you. Whether you are out for a relaxing trail ride, working in the arena, or wanting to step into something new, Dale is ready and willing.

We believe he could easily transition into English disciplines or even fox hunting with his athletic build, quiet mind, and forward, balanced way of going. In the barn, in the pasture, or on the trail, Dale wants to be your friend. He is the first to meet you at the gate, happy to be with his people, and just as content going for an adventure as he is enjoying a quiet grooming session. Safe, willing, and dependable, Dale is ready to become your trusted partner for wherever your riding takes you.
