Buckwheat is a flashy, kind Appaloosa gelding.
He is easy-going and friendly, super great to handle on the ground, great with his feet, and terrific with in-hand obstacles and desensitization.
Rides in a hackamore or snaffle, neck reins great, moves off leg well and is soft in the face.
He’s been exposed to many things on the trail and the ranch and has done remarkable and taken everything in stride.
He is not a spooky horse and thinks about everything before doing anything.
We have had many riders on him of different skill levels, and he has done fantastic.

About Fort Collins, CO
Fort Collins was founded as a military outpost of the United States Army in 1864. It succeeded a previous encampment, known as Camp Collins, on the Cache La Poudre River, near what is known today as Laporte. Camp Collins was erected during the Indian wars of the mid-1860s to protect the Overland mail route that had been recently relocated through the region. Travelers crossing the county on the Overland Trail would camp there, but a flood destroyed the camp in June 1864. Afterward, the commander of the fort wrote to the commandant of Fort Laramie in southeast Wyoming, Colonel William O.
