Kentucky Mountain Gelding for Sale in Salt Lake City, UT

Ducky is a beautiful dark blue roan that stays blue throughout the year. Ducky has a very kind personality and is a very quick learner. If he comes up to something that he is unfamiliar with, he is the type of horse to calmly look and then approach it; instead of turning, bolting, or overreacting. Ducky has been there and done that. Over the summer, he went on our pack trip with us where he did around 100 miles in 6 days through the Teton wilderness in northern Wyoming. On the trip, he high-lined, hobbled, led pack strings, and lived off of meadow grass. The terrain was very rugged and he handled it great; he never had any issues with soreness or lameness. Ducky has a fantastic four-beat gate. He is so smooth you could hold a cup of coffee and not worry about spilling it. As shown in the video listed, ducky is smooth enough to gate on bareback. This horse is very easy to go from a loose reign walk to a gate and back down to a walk. He has as much go as you would ever need, all while having plenty of control. He is extremely sure-footed and rarely trips or stumbles. Ducky is extremely calm and trusting. There is not a whole lot that scares him. Tarps, bridges, streams, rivers, deadfall, and wildlife are all no sweat for ducky. This is the kind of horse that a novice rider can get on, follow the herd, and have a fantastic time. An experienced ridge can also get on and have a fun time leading. Ducky stands to saddle and opens his mouth for the bit with no head shyness. He will go in and out of a trailer with ease and will even back out of a trailer. He is an easy keeper and stays healthy on grass or alfalfa. He is up to date on shots and was wormed the first week of September. If you are looking for a great trail horse that you don’t have to worry about, who will be as smooth as butter, and will take care of you, all while looking like a million bucks, then ducky might just be your next horse!

About Salt Lake City, UT

Before settlement by members of the LDS Church, the Shoshone, Ute, and Paiute had dwelt in the Salt Lake Valley for thousands of years. At the time of Salt Lake City's founding, the valley was within the territory of the Northwestern Shoshone; however, occupation was seasonal, near streams emptying from canyons into the Salt Lake Valley. One local Shoshone tribe, the Western Goshute tribe, referred to the Great Salt Lake as Pi'a-pa, meaning "big water", or Ti'tsa-pa, meaning "bad water". The land was treated by the United States as public domain; no aboriginal title by the Northwestern Shoshone was ever recognized by the United States or extinguished by treaty with the United States. The first American explorer in the Salt Lake area was probably Jim Bridger in 1825, although others had been in Utah earlier, some as far north as the nearby Utah Valley (the 1776 Dominguez-Escalante expedition were undoubtedly aware of Salt Lake Valley's existence).
