Buckeyes McCoy
Buckeyes McCoy is the kind of horse that turns heads and wins hearts wherever he goes. A 2015 model standing a proud 15.3 hands, this striking black gelding is a cross between a Shire and a Quarter Horse—giving him the best of both worlds: the quiet strength and presence of the draft, paired with the athleticism and agility of the Quarter Horse. With his solid, muscular frame, clean legs, McCoy is a true standout in any setting. His gleaming black coat adds to his eye-catching appeal, and his gentle, kind expression shows his willing and thoughtful nature. McCoy is the definition of dependable. He has years of trail experience under his belt and has been exposed to a wide range of environments and situations. From quiet country paths to bustling state roads, McCoy takes everything in stride. Whether he is crossing creeks, weaving through wooded trails, navigating new terrain, or riding alongside traffic, he stays calm, focused, and steady. He has been trailered to various locations and handles loading and unloading with complete ease. Every time you pull him out, he is ready to work with the same consistent, level-headed attitude. He has been used to check cows and is confident around livestock, water crossings, and all types of terrain. Whether you are riding through a creek or climbing hills, McCoy is surefooted, willing, and steady. He is also extremely desensitized, he’s seen tarps, jugs, and whips, and he takes it all in stride without hesitation. He is unbothered by sudden movement or unusual sights and sounds, making him a perfect partner for riders who want safety, reliability, and peace of mind in the saddle. One of the qualities that truly sets McCoy apart is his gentle and accommodating nature. He is senior-safe, meaning he is not just quiet and calm, but also patient and forgiving. He takes extra care with his rider, adjusts his energy to match his rider’s confidence level, and is the kind of horse that makes people feel comfortable and secure, whether they are in their seventies or just getting back in the saddle after time away. He is equally suitable for beginners, nervous riders, and folks who simply want a horse that will take care of them. In the barn, McCoy is a gentleman. He stands quietly for grooming, tacking, farrier work, and bathing. He gets along well with other horses and is an easy keeper. Under saddle, McCoy is a pleasure to ride. He side-passes right up to the mounting block and has excellent manners. He neck reins with one hand, transitions smoothly between gaits, and carries himself with balance and grace. His walk, trot, and canter are all incredibly smooth, making him comfortable ride for long days in the saddle or relaxed evening rides. He responds to light leg and seat cues and has the kind of handle that both casual and experienced riders will appreciate. McCoy currently wears shoes on all four feet due to the terrain where he is ridden, but he has strong feet and could go barefoot if your riding environment allows. He is up to date on all vaccinations, dental care, and deworming, and is in excellent health, sound, and ready to go. Whether you are looking for a solid trail partner, a dependable ranch horse, or simply a quiet companion to enjoy the ride—he checks every box. Please call Duane @ 330-231-2324 for more information.
