Red Bloom

Description

Red Bloom is a 2017 red dun Quarter Horse gelding standing at 14.3 hands—as cowboy-looking as they come and stamped with dun factor galore. He has a black face, tiger-striped legs up to his belly, a thick dorsal stripe, and bulldog-style conformation measuring just as wide as he is tall. He performs all reining/cow horse maneuvers with an easy lead change, solid spins, and a stylish sliding stop. A pretty mover with a naturally low headset, he has a rocking-chair lope with pretty circles, a nice ground-covering long trot across the pasture, and a super smooth jog that you can sit all day long. Red Bloom has been used for all types of cow work—cut on, boxed on, and down the fence. Loaded with natural cow and a pretty working style, he is quiet and easygoing and will not shake up a herd. He has been roped on in the pasture, steer-stopped out of the box, and roped the sled. Great rate and timing which lets you focus on roping—very smooth and comfortable to ride. We have ridden Red Bloom a million outside miles—an absolute dream to ride outside, willingly going right where you point him through rocky and rough mountain terrain, running river water, knee-deep mud, tall brush, and prickly cactus. He side passes to open and shut gates, smoothly goes over logs and bridges, and drags whatever you dally to the saddle horn. Very easy to handle on the ground and always gentle, he is the same horse every time you saddle him with zero silly business. Good with noisy traffic, gunfire, tarps, dogs, and wildlife. Red Bloom has all the talent and ability to go to horse shows in Ranch Versatility, Ranch Riding, and Cowhorse events. A phenomenal ranch horse that is fancy enough for the boss man to ride or just as happy being your partner for recreational trail rides or avid cross-country competitions. His distinctive and "ranchy" look has a presence that turns heads everywhere we take him.
