Coco Bruce (named by our friends from Haven of Hope group foster homes) is a 14-month old mustang gelding soon to be started in
Clinton Anderson's Colt Starting and Fundamentals Groundwork. He has the look of a quarter horse. Since he is too young to bear a rider's weight, he will be trained with the bareback pad, trails, hobbling, trailering, and ground manners. He will be able to stand for the farrier and have extensive desensitizing work so that he will be calm and respectful. .With his flaxen mane and curious, friendly attitude, he will be a fabulous addition to a home wanting a smart, quiet horse with a solid foundation. Mustangs make excellent all-around horses when they're trained up right, from the beginning. This one will be trained right! And we'll know more about his particular personality once he begins his training in earnest. Keep an eye on this one!
Adoption fee (once trained): $2,400

**AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**
COOKIE (registered name: Ransoms Final Cookie) is a 7-year-old registered AQHA quarter horse mare, approx. 15 hands. She is fully broke, trained in Clinton's Andersen's The Method. She is completely sound, healthy, friendly, loving (oh, she loves people!) and quick on her feet. While she is good on the trails and can go any direction, she would be best suited for sorting, cutting, gymkhana or other western disciplines that use the low, quick move. When let out to play in the arena, she will do amazing roll-backs on her own! (Email us below for a video of her freestyle roll-backs!) No buck, bite, or other aggressive behaviors at all. She is a love-bug! She would prefer a confident rider with a good seat as a rider with an unsteady seat may find themselves on the ground with her quick cutting move (here at the Ranch, we have so many first-time riders so her super cool moves aren't being utilized like they should be). We're excited about this one's potential with the right partner! Adoption fee: $4,800 **AVAILABLE TO A GREAT HOME ONLY** |
**ADOPTED TO A GREAT HOME**
Pick Pocket is a 2-year-old mustang gelding started in Clinton Anderson's Colt Training. He is super smart, super friendly, sweet, curious, and such a gentle boy. He'll follow you anywhere! This guy's a people-horse, willing and wanting to please the person he calls his own. He’s been trained in all fundamentals, has been saddled (no problems!), hobbled, and will be easy to train to ride once his knees close (in a couple months, we think!). Mustangs make the BEST all around horses when they're given a good start. This one has gotten a GREAT start and will make an amazing partner for someone who wants it all in a horse. This boy is incredible!
