Spotted Draft Quarter Horse X

Todd and Tucker are a dynamic duo that you sure do not run across every day! These boys are so very special! They are Spotted Draft Horse/Quarter Horse crossbreds and are full brothers. Todd is 8 years old, and Tucker is 9. They were raised by some good Amish friends of ours until we purchased them a year and a half ago. These two have extensive experience in almost everything you could imagine. From being phenomenal driving horses, to having the smoothest one-step lope, to being one of the best hands around the ranch, to even being trick horses, Todd and Tucker are truly the best team of horses we have ever owned. They are 100 percent safe, sound, skilled, and experienced horses with the sweetest, most pleasant, and willing-to-please attitude. As Spotted Draft Horse/ Quarter Horse crossbreds, Todd and Tucker have all of the best qualities of each breed. Their size, color, build, and disposition come from the draft side of them, with their agility, intelligence, and versatility being attributed to the quarter horse in them. Todd and Tucker stand 16 hands and are built wonderfully- they have big feet and bones and are thickly made with a great conformation. On the ground, Todd and Tucker are complete gentlemen. Our little girl who is only 8 can handle either or both of them together with ease, confidently. Even with their size, she knows she can trust them. They are respectful of your space, they stand tied patiently, stand in the wagon patiently, and with the extensive liberty work they’ve had, they will even follow you around at the command to come. In the saddle, these boys are a dream ride. They both have a one-hand neck rein, have a super smooth one-step lope, a big stop, and will back up and turn around in a circle like a quarter horse. They take their correct leads both ways and respond to leg pressure. They are fully experienced in both indoor and outdoor environments. We’ve also ridden them on countless miles of trails. It doesn’t matter what type of terrain or what kind of challenge they face- they will take you where you want to go. Our entire family has enjoyed trail riding with these guys! From mud to rocks to sliding over steep hills to deep water- they’ve done it all! They are safe and sure-footed, getting you where you need to go. Todd and Tucker are also amazing driving horses. I could not count the miles they have driven or the work they have done as a team. They know their job and do it well and look AMAZING while doing it. They are very classy and move with elegance. They sure do turn heads! They are also completely traffic-safe. We’ve driven them to town, to and through our cattle farm that’s up the road, in parades, and even used them in a live drive-thru nativity scene to give people wagon rides! From the tiniest babies to the oldest grandpas, Todd and Tucker safely gave them rides in the wagon! They are surely a trusted team! Todd and Tucker are also trick horses. They have both been trained to lie down and sit up! They are both super intelligent animals. They will also side-pass to a mounting block or whatever you choose to mount to. These brothers have also been a huge help around the farm. We have used them to rope wild cattle, move, check, and sort cattle, and check fences almost daily. We’ve even taken them to a large-scale cattle roundup, where they helped catch, sort, and work over 300 head of cattle in a couple of days! They are also very useful for opening and closing gates, dragging items around, and moving fences or gates as needed. Our Amish friends also used them to feed hay and run equipment. We’ve seen his 3-4-year-old son drive Tucker with a roll of hay on the wagon while his father opened and closed the gate for him. OPEN BIDDING ON THEHORSEBAY.COM ENDS ON 02/25 @ 5:50 PM CT.
