Atlas - For Sale

Atlas is a 7 year old Quarter Horse gelding standing 15.3 hands high. He has natural talent and scope on the cross country field, is reliable on the trails, and an educated fun to ride horse on the flat, in both English and western tack. This gelding has been one of our kids personal horses for the past 6 months or so. She needed a confidence boost to get back in the saddle again after some time off.  He is used to being pulled from the field after a week or so off and going on a trail ride or bopping around in the ring. He was raised on a ranch, where he got a super solid start with lots of good education and life experience. Since coming to us he has been proving to be quite the event horse in the making, though he would be just as qualified to be a super trail mount too! Finish him out to have a superstar event or dressage horse, or hit the trails tomorrow with a ready to go trail master. His quiet mind and versatile education sets Atlas up for success no matter the job. 
​
In the ring, Atlas has done a bit of everything. He has a one hand neck rein, knows all the lateral work, and has a great stop and brakes. He is schooling first level tests with the foundation to easily go up the levels. He will ride on a loose rein or in a frame, and is soft and light in the bridle. Most of his jumping experience is out in the field and on the xc course, but he has been honest and easy while putting courses together in the arena. He pops over 2"6 without question and easily has scope for 3' and more. He has been ridden by the intermediate kids ion the lesson program, and is tolerant of an amateur rider taking the reins.
​
On the trails, Atlas is experienced and reliable. He knows a days work on the ranch and is not phased by ATV's, dogs, kids, or other farm animals. He is happy riding alone or in a group, and will ride in any part of the pack. We have used Atlas to work our hounds and hunting dogs, he is smart and sure footed on any terrain- making him a strong candidate for fox hunting! Atlas has great trailer manners, he's easy to load and stands tied to the trailer like a gentleman. He loves going for swims in the lake, and loves getting out to explore.
​
In the barn, Atlas is quiet and sweet. He enjoys attention and is a good boy for all of the usual barn activities. He stands tied, and is happy to be groomed, bathed, and tacked. Atlas mostly lives outside, but is well behaved in his stall when he is inside. When turned out, he lives in a mixed herd of mares and geldings and gets along well with others. He is easy to catch and is the first to the gate!
