🐴 MEET ASHER 🐴
2017 Percheron X QH Cross Gelding | 17 HH

If dependable, versatile, and downright cool are on your horse shopping checklist… you need to meet Asher. 🤠

Asher has logged countless trail miles and has probably collected more than his fair share of cobwebs along the way. Nothing about the trail rattles this guy. Water crossings, logs, steep hills, shallow ditches—you name it, he takes it in stride.

He’ll sidepass, back through, straddle, walk, trot, or lope over whatever log configuration you put in front of him. He confidently opens and closes gates and will willingly cross or walk through just about anything you can dream up—tarps, kiddie pools, plastic bottles, bridges, pool noodles, cowboy curtains… and yes, even FIRE. 🔥

But Asher isn’t just a trail horse. He drives single AND double, and he’s got plenty of personality and tricks to prove it. He’ll sit on a beanbag chair, stand proudly on a pedestal, and yes… he’ll even drink a beer right out of the can if you offer it to him. 🍺

He drops his head for haltering and bridling, making it easy for even the kiddos to go catch him in the pasture.

✨ Safe without being dull.
✨ Broke without losing his personality.
✨ Versatile enough to do a little bit of everything.

Whether you’re looking for a trustworthy trail partner, family horse, parade horse, ranch partner, or simply your next best friend with four legs—Asher is ready to be all of the above.

Meet Smudge!
14.1 H• PALOMINO • AQHA • 2020 • GELDING

Smudge was raised with the intention of creating a true all-around horse with bone, foot, color, and the ability to excel in the ranch classes. He has a solid foundation and is ready to continue on in any direction whether that's the ranch horse shows or hitting the trails. Smudge is smooth and cadenced in all his gaits, with transitions and an exceptional extended trot. He confidently completes ranch trail obstacles and is aware of his feet over logs.
Smudge has also been around cattle. For more information contact Kaylee (309)635-2324
