Quarter Horse Gelding

Roscoe: The most sought-after Unicorn!!!! Roscoe is undoubtedly the most charming and popular gelding at the barn, capturing the hearts of everyone who meets him! He embodies the ideal lesson horse for kids and inexperienced riders, making him a beloved character among young and old alike! This sweet, goofy, and honest gelding is always the first to greet you at the gate. His friendly disposition shines through as he enjoys the company of both people and horses. Roscoe gets along wonderfully with all other livestock on the farm, and he’s a breeze for the vet and farrier to handle. Roscoe stands patiently tied, loads effortlessly, and adores baths and grooming sessions. Tack and mounting are easy with him and he helps build confidence with unsure learners! Having experience in a variety of disciplines, Roscoe boasts an impressive western pleasure jog that anyone can sit, a rocking horse lope as well as an exceptional stop, smooth rollbacks, and even has the beginnings of a reining pattern. Completely voice-trained, he responds well to leg cues and features a handy spin and side pass. But that’s not all—Roscoe is also getting adept at English riding! He has dabbled in the very beginner cavaletti work and has enjoyed popping over cross rails, displaying a beautiful frame and collection while demonstrating an awareness of his body. We’ve even introduced him to the fundamentals of dressage, where he shows great potential with continued focus. Roscoe’s true passion lies in trail riding and ranch work. He thrives in outdoor settings, confidently navigating through mountainous terrains and steep hills with ease. He can go all day and is a drop your reins and go type of horse- making every trail ride a fun one, he has even been out in town after dark, cruising through downtown Fort Collins, as well as with a young kiddo on him! Having acclimated to town life, Roscoe has explored downtown Fort Collins extensively. He’s encountered everything from bikes and trains to vehicles, crowds, loud noises, stairs, and parking garages—we’ve even taken him on midnight adventures! He’s truly seen it all! This remarkable gelding has also had a rope thrown off him, pushed cattle, and checked fences, showcasing his versatility, willingness to work, and love of outdoor adventures! — Watch his video and meet this sweet guy! We love to show him off, and he’d love to meet you; he’s a puppy dog! OPEN BIDDING ON THEHORSEBAY.COM ENDS ON 12/03 @ 4:50 PM CT.
