Peptos in Tinsel Town

The kind everyone wants in their barn — meet Mr., a standout gelding with the talent, great mind, and pedigree to go in any direction. Sired by Gunners Tinseltown ($307,000 LTE & Million Dollar Producer) and tracing back to Peptoboonsmal, Mr. is bred to perform — and he absolutely lives up to it. Standing 15.1 hands and weighing around 1,250 lbs, he’s a true head-turner with a natural, fluid way of moving and the kind of presence that gets noticed wherever he goes. Mr. is as seasoned and proven as they come — he’s been ranched off of in Oklahoma dragging calves, branding, and doctoring cattle, and he’s been used for roping and day work as a dependable, broke partner. He’s covered country too, trail ridden all over Montana and Wyoming, including Spanish Creek Pass, and has even ridden through buffalo on the Turner Ranch. He’s been hauled to cuttings in Wyoming where he’s worked both calves and bison, showing his versatility and real cow sense. He crosses water, streams, and traverses rough terrain extremely well. You will enjoy his deliberate, well-thought-out way of taking you down the trail. He has had extensive cutting training and he is performance-capable. He’s quiet in the herd and his cow work is solid. He’s excelled at open ranch cuttings. He is an easy keeper, easy to shoe. Loads and unloads well. He loves a bath! Mr. is a big teddy bear, and loves being loved. Mr. is suitable for any level of a capable rider. He stands quiet from the time you put pressure in the stirrup until you are in the saddle, and he stands like a gentleman. Mr. is the kind that can truly go any direction — he would make an outstanding show horse or cow horse, a strong ranch versatility prospect, a solid head horse, an excellent flag horse for a judge at a roping, or a reliable pickup horse or ranch horse. We have put him in every situation and asked everything of him and he handles every obstacle with grace. He’s has been around everything on a ranch ( dogs, kids, ranch equipment, etc.) and handles it well. He’s super athletic, an exceptional free mover, and stays good-minded and easy to get along with every day. Gentle and trustworthy, we’ve trusted him enough to give our three-year-old granddaughter riding lessons on him, yet he’s still handy and capable enough to go put in a full day’s work on the ranch. Mr. is the total package — brains, ability, experience, and heart — and not one you come across often. He’s not just a horse to us, he’s part of our family, so finding the right home is important to us. For more information or an evaluation on Mr. Contact trainer Brad Vogele @ (620) 660-1778.
