Check out this papered red dun gelding! Watch his video and you’ll see why we have enjoyed having Gru around. Ride him on the ranch, down the trail, or haul him to a ranch horse show, playday, or rodeo scene. Here is a family-oriented gelding that can ride with some class for the adults and is gentle enough for young kids to ride around.

Gru has a walk, trot, and lope that are smooth as silk. He is great out on the trail and carefully places his feet to take care of his rider in any situation. He has a wonderful personality—if you’re looking for a horse to bond with and spend time with outside of riding, Gru is your guy.

He has an excellent one-handed neck rein and will move willingly off your leg cues. He has been hauled around the country and ridden in the arena as a lesson horse. From rough country to metro parks on the East Coast with runners, strollers, dogs, and traffic—Gru handles it all in stride. He gets along great with other horses in the pasture and has no bad habits when pulling him out of the stall.

Gru stands quietly for the farrier and will ground tie until you tell him otherwise. He is the perfect size for a rider with bad knees since he is easy to get on and off on the trail. He has been exposed to farm machinery, equipment, road traffic, gunfire, deer, cattle—you name it.

He is sound and up to date on teeth, vaccines, Coggins, and health papers. This gelding has been nothing short of a pleasure to work with since he stepped foot on our property. No matter what direction you want to go, this phenomenal gelding will take you there. He has all the buttons: side pass, turnaround, leg yield—but can just as easily be point-and-go. Gentle, flashy, and broke with unlimited potential.

Reason for sale:  

Gru’s previous owner is relocating to another city due to work commitments and unfortunately could not take him along. This decision was made strictly because of the move and not due to any fault of Gru. He has been well cared for, consistently ridden, and loved, and we are helping find him the perfect new home where he can continue to be enjoyed.

Please PM the page (do not comment). My page will send you an auto-message with his price. If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to message anytime.

Our purchase process is simple and transparent. Serious buyers may schedule an appointment to come try Gru in person. A deposit is required to hold him once a purchase agreement is made. A pre-purchase exam (PPE) with X-rays is welcome at the buyer’s expense and can be done by the veterinarian of their choice.

Once the horse passes the PPE and final payment is received, Gru can be picked up or shipping can be arranged.
