I was thinking about selling my horse, just thinking, really!!!!!!

SUPERB reining blood lined 2 year old Smutty Buckskin Gelding

"Sheriff" was bought as a two year old, and sent for 60 days professional training last May. Sheriff won the nationals for lounge line in Montana as a yearling, and this gelding has the bloodlines to shine. He has Mrs. Kalico, Hollywood Dun It, Fritz, Cody, and many other money earners in his direct bloodline, he is bred to the nines for reining. He is a grandson of Hollywood Dun It, and his Sire placed 3rd in the Amateur reining competition in Florida last year, and has just started his career. They are planning on taking Sheriff's Sire into professional reining competitions this year. I have ridden Sheriff a half dozen times in the arena and a half dozen times out in the field. He is a very intelligent horse and learns fast. He is level headed, and is not very spooking for a two-year-old. He has only been spooked once when riding, and he trotted off a little ways, and when I turned him around he went right up to the farm equipment he was scared of. He hasn't jumped at stumps, noises, anything in the woods, and is always eager to go. He has a motor on him, and doesn't seem to tire easily. He lopes, trots, and moves off when asked, 9 times out of ten taking the correct lead. I would recommend Sheriff for an intermediate rider, as he is young, still learning, and an intelligent horse. I bought Sheriff right after I had moved and had planned on having a "project" horse to train, but with the move, I drive farther to work, and don't have the time to put into him. With his excellent bloodlines, I sent him to a trainer that trains reining, barrel, and ranch horses. I had started him under saddle myself before shipping him off to the trainer, and he was one of the easiest of our lot to train. The trainer told me Sheriff likes to go (lopes fast), and is sometimes soft on the mouth and other times a little more stubborn. I have noticed the same thing when riding him myself. He still needs a lot more time put on him, and has great potential.

Sheriff is a smutty buckskin. In the winter he looks more like a bay with a rich chocolate brown color with the buckskin color showing around his eyes and muzzle. In the summer the buckskin color starts coming out more and shows under his belly and on his sides as well. I am not a fan of bay horses, but even in the winter when the brown hair takes over, this boy is gorgeous. Come see for yourself, his horse is going to be dynamite. He was bred and hand picked for his bloodlines and beautiful moves, has great proportions, and a great mind.
