Mario
MARIO IS CONSIGNED TO THE GREAT AMERICAN RANCH & TRAIL SALE APRIL 4TH
Wow — what a pretty face. Mario has that bright, intelligent eye, clean white snip, and two sharp white socks give him the kind of look that turns heads everywhere he goes. This 2020 model, 15 hand AQHA gelding is the total package of pedigree, ability, and everyday usability. His breeding goes back to Hall of Fame $10 Million Sire Shining Spark and $28 Million Sire Peptoboonsmal — and you can feel that solid foundation every time you swing a leg over him. He is athletic, responsive, and smart, with the kind of mind that makes him enjoyable for real-life riding. Mario has been there and done that. He is ridden on state roads in traffic, out on miles of trails, up and down hills, through creeks, checking cows and fence lines — and he takes it all in stride. Nothing rattles him. He rides the same whether you are headed down the trail, checking cattle, or just taking a quiet evening stroll. In the arena, he is just as solid. He has been ridden both indoors and outdoors, picks up his leads, side passes, neck reins, and moves off your leg willingly. He has three smooth, comfortable gaits and a nice extended trot that covers ground with ease. He is soft in the bridle, easy to guide, and uncomplicated to ride. Mario rides Western, English, and bareback — the same honest horse no matter what you put on his back. Throw a saddle on him or hop on bareback and go enjoy him. He is good with jugs, tarps, and whips, and handles new sights and situations with a level head. The kind you can ride consistently — or let sit and pull him out once a week or even once a month — and he is still the same steady, dependable gelding. In the barn and pasture, he is a true gentleman. First to meet you at the gate, kind to be around, easy to catch saddle and bridle. He stands quiet, hauls well, and is respectful of his handler. Mario is up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and shoeing, and ready to step into his next chapter. If you are searching for a good-minded, good-bred gelding that can trail ride, do ranch work, enjoy arena time, and look sharp doing it — we honestly believe Mario could be that partner you have been waiting for.
