Shaded Express
Shaded – Wow wow! Shaded is not just a pretty face—he’s the complete package with a solid mind, a golden heart, and bloodlines that speak for themselves. This 11-year-old, 14.1-hand sorrel gelding is the kind everyone looks for but rarely finds. With Shining Spark, High Brow Cat, and Nu Chex to Cash in his pedigree, Shaded carries the kind of breeding that produces versatile, willing, and athletic horses built to last. From the moment you see him, he stands out with his rich sorrel coat, three white socks, a nice white blaze, and a thick, flowing flaxen mane and tail. His compact height makes mounting easy for riders of all ages, and his kind, gentle expression is just a preview of the honest horse he is underneath it all. Shaded is the type that wants to be your partner no matter what you’re doing—whether you’re on the trail, hanging around the barn, brushing him in the wash bay, or just spending time in the pasture. He meets you with a friendly attitude and is always ready to please. He’s great for the farrier, stands tied, loads easily, and has impeccable ground manners. On the trail, Shaded shines. He’s been on countless rides—through water, across creeks, over downed trees and trail obstacles—and he takes it all in stride with quiet confidence. He’s traffic safe and has been on state roads without hesitation. His three smooth gaits are easy to sit and enjoyable for long rides in or out of the arena. Under saddle, he’s soft and responsive with a very handy neck rein, side passes easily to the mounting block and has a lead change. Whether you’re a first-time rider, a senior looking for a confidence-giver, or a seasoned horseperson wanting a reliable mount, Shaded adjusts and makes his rider feel safe and comfortable every time. Shaded has the kind of temperament that doesn’t require a steady program. You can ride him every day or once a month—he’s going to be the same trustworthy guy. He’s the kind of horse you can show on Saturday and take on a relaxing trail ride on Sunday. Currently wearing shoes on all four due to the terrain we ride on, Shaded has strong, solid feet and could go barefoot in the right setting. He is 100% sound and up to date on dental work, worming, and vaccinations—ready to step right into your program without skipping a beat. Shaded is the kind of horse that doesn’t just fill a space in your barn—he fills a spot in your heart. Safe, seasoned, stunning, and bred to impress—he’s ready for his next best friend.
