Palomino Overo MFT Gelding

Diamond is worth his weight in gold and will steal your heart! Diamond is a rare, dark, palomino OVERO grade MFT gelding full of personality! Standing a big 15.2 hands and 9-years-old, he is a fun horse for the entire family to enjoy! He has a stocky confirmation with a pretty refined head and ear. Diamond is a true trail horse deluxe and has been ridden miles and miles from the Medicine Bow Mountain Range in Wyoming to all over the piney woods of the southeast. Diamond has been in our training program for the last 4 years. He has been there, done that, and it shows. He is super soft in the mouth and can be ridden with a simple O-ring smooth snaffle bit or simple shank bit. Diamond is so soft. He can even be ridden with a halter or BRIDLELESS through the roughest country. There aren’t many horses I would trust with no bridle out on the wide-open range, but he is THAT GOOD! Diamond is solid and stout on the trails. He is very sure-footed and takes his time through slick rocks and down timber. Diamond is safe to take out on the trail solo or does great on the trail with a group of horses. He will be quiet in the front, middle, or back of the pack and is happy either way. He has been ridden in a lot of really rough terrain in the high country and takes it all as it comes without issue. He also has countless hours of bird hunting experience, from packing guests who have never ridden to professional hunters. This includes shotguns, mules, wagons, dogs, loud noises, and long days. Diamond is just as much at home in the arena and round pen as in the woods and open country. Diamond rides around nicely on a loose rein at a walk, gait, or lope. He has a very smooth gait and a walk that makes him comfortable to ride for long hours. He will lope both leads on cue with a super smooth transition in and out of a lope. He has the nicest, soft, one-handed neck rein, backs up nicely, side passes, and responds well to leg cues and your seat in the saddle. Diamond is good with gunfire, bullwhips, dogs, cats, children, water, bridges, and traffic. He has been used to ponying other horses and gathers cattle, as well. Diamond has extensive liberty training, which simply shows his willingness to please and desire to be with you. He will freely follow you around walking or running with no halter or lead rope. He is a very trusting horse with a calm and sweet disposition. He will lunge freely, then come to you when asked and lunge both directions on a loose line with a halter, as well. Diamond loves his treats, and his favorite thing in the world is to be pampered. Diamond takes every new task in stride, and almost always, it will be followed by a simple “lick and chew,” showing his acceptance of whatever you may ask of him.
