“Joker” is a 9 year old, 15hh, paint gelding. Are you looking for an honest, beautiful, classy, safe gelding, who is a baby sitter, and can dabble in everything???
Joker is an in your pocket dude, who likes attention, and will stand around with you all day long. He is laid back, and easy going. Not to mention his beautiful painted up coat!
In the barn, Joker has zero bad habits. He can live, or out, go out with others or live alone. He is also pastured next to my mini cow and enjoys spending time hanging out with him. He will stand on the cross ties all day long, and will fall asleep being groomed, braided and loved on. He is a patient guy, who is just happy to be involved. He has good ground manners and is gentle to work around. He is safe with children and dogs.
Joker rides western, english, bareback, whatever you prefer. He is a super fun horse, and can certainly take a joke. His gaits are very smooth and I love riding him bareback. Maybe his name is Joker because he makes you grin, from ear to ear!!! I have not ridden english or jumped nearly all winter and he has been babysitting me, and taking care of me while getting back into shape.
In the ring, Joker will walk, trot, canter, knows his leads and has a lead change. He will move laterally off of leg, neck reins a little bit, and knows the word “whoa”. He is learning to pivot and backs up well. He is a SUPER uncomplicated ride, he is beginner friendly yet can entertain an advanced rider. He is the PERFECT combo of whoa and go. Ride around and be lazy, then ask him to go to work, then drop your reins and be lazy again, he is super smart, and you can “turn him on and turn him off” in a split second.
English, he will push up into the bridle creating a beautiful frame, I could see this boy being an amazing dressage horse. He is not strong, and he sits right in your hands. Ride him western and ask for a lower headset or even ride him on the buckle and now he goes around like a ranch trail horse. He could also be an amazing western dressage horse! He listens amazing to voice commands and will also ride off of your seat. Yet ride him like a silly dummy and he will plop around like a lesson horse.
Joker will pop around a course of fences, I have jumped him 3’6 with ease, then he will go gently trot over a cross rail. He jumps anything that you point him at, and is super honest. He does not get worked up or hot over high fences, watch his video and see him jump high fences then go right back down to a calm walk. I am very out of shape, I have barely jumped at all this winter, yet alone ridden english, in the video you can see me leaning forward too early and grabbing mane, he doesn’t care, he will get you over the jump. In another clip over the cross country fence, I completely loose my reins and he picks us both up and heads for the next fence. I really do trust this boy, and he has been very honest. Not to mention he is just a blast! He would be the perfect mount for an amateur who needs confidence, or a kid who is learning. I could totally see this boy rocking it in the eventing world, or even fox hunting!!!
Riding him western is fun and relaxing as well. He is a relaxed dude and I have even used him to push my cow around!!! He could dabble in cow sorting, camping, ranch classes, obstacle courses etc!
On the trails, Joker will lead, follow, go alone and in groups. He crosses logs, rocks, water, etc. He is traffic safe as well! Joker will willingly leave the group and go off on his own if you ask.
This boy does not need to be in a routine, he is the horse that you can forget about for a month, go tack him up and enjoy your ride. He is safe, and honest, and knows his job. He would make an amazing lesson horse with his ability to adapt and ride how you want to ride that day. You can literally watch him transform through his english style to his western style, and he sure looks good doing both! This is a very versatile horse who has lots of offer, regardless if you are a beginner or advanced.
Joker loads and trailers well. He is good for the vet and farrier. He has no health or soundness issues. He can wear shoes or go barefoot, he currently has front shoes. He is an easy keeper, no maintenance, simple diet, and doesn’t need any special requirements. He has solid hooves and clean legs. He comes running to you in the pasture and is easy to catch.
Joker is the full package, and he is ready to head in any direction. He is going to make a good addition to any family, or anyone looking for a sweet, all around horse. This versatile guy has so much to offer, you don’t want to miss out on him!!
