Description:
Intro: HuckFin is a coming 6 year old gaited Rocky Mountain gelding. The Rocky Mountain breed is rare and Huck is a genuine goldmine with his classic look, gait and color. Huck was bred at a very well known and prestigious Rocky farm in Texas. He is as exceptionally trained, experienced and smooth as they come. With a background as a winning show horse in the Ladies/Amateur division, he has gone from ribbons to a well rounded trail riding career. He is a advanced beginner safe boy, a family of horse people dream about. Or perhaps you are in search for a perfectly trained trail obstacle horse!
He knows just about everything a horse could know. He knows his some pretty fun tricks. He also turns-on-the-hind, turns-on-the-fore, sidepasses, does rollbacks, lines up to any object to be mounted, backs easily, knows leg cues, neck reins (or direct reins), stops on a dime every time you ask and rides with the direction of your body/ subtle cue. You can ride him with or without a bridle. He knows his groundwork and will load himself in a trailer. He is friendly like a golden retriever and is easy to catch.
He has been our go-to horse for pulling the kids on sleds or trails with the husband. He is calm and easy-going with the right amount of energy. He has also been desensitized and exposed to just about everything you could possibly imagine.
Huck has a very smooth, metronome like gait. He also has the smoothest, slow lope I have ever ridden.
He is the epitome of the Rocky Mountain horse in look, color and personality. I would have no qualms about throwing just about anyone on him. He is a very gentle and patient horse.
Come try him out for yourself! Don’t hesitate to call or text me if you have any questions.
Description:
SGF’s Offensive Line (aka – “Huck”) is a coming 6 year old, 14-2 +hands, Dark bodied Chocolate with very light mane, registered Rocky Mountain gelding. “Huck” excels in every category that is important in a personal riding horse:
- COLOR — amazingly beautiful, Dark chocolate body with flaxen white, flowing mane and tail. (see video and pictures)
- CONFIRMATION — Spot on the confirmation standards of the Rocky Mountain Horse Breed Association. He is exceptional in terms of balance AND correctness. (see video and pictures)
- GAIT — Wonderful, melodic, smooth as silk: the breed standard Saddle Rack and slow Canter. Also walks on a loose rein with no rush (see video)
- TEMPERAMENT — Fantastically calm, friendly, people loving, easy going and willing to do whatever she is asked to do. (see video)
- EXPERIENCE –– Huck has performed in show ring classes for Ladies and Amateur, in easy-going trail rides in almost every possible environment, (see video)
- TRAINING — Expertly trained by Cassie Rose. She is a well known trainer of gaited Horses for showing, for trail riding, and for equine companions. Cassie’s training methods include: natural horsemanship training, training to developing the correct and natural gaits for each individual horse, and sensitivity training of each individual horse for almost every environment the horse will see in their lifetime. She also uses classical dressage training methods that go back hundreds of years and are still used today to train high level horses around the world. “Huck” is a superb example of these training methods and natural ability.
- SUITABILITY FOR RIDERS — “Huck” shines beautifully in this category also. He has been trained previously to be a calm and fun personal riding horse for a woman who had interests in RMHA Amateur showing. As a result, “Huck” is suitable for even a beginner/youth who is willing to take a few lessons on communicating with a well-trained horse using hands, legs and seat. He does his job well in the show arena and is definitely automatic in gait. For an experienced horse person, “Huck” will provide the best first-ride they have ever experienced and will remain their person riding horse for the rest of their life. He is willing to go forward with ease and is really fun to take through obstacles or lope through the fields and trails.

“Huck’s” previous owner is downsizing their show/breeding herd. Therefore Huck was offered to a new home. We are giving him a new lease life as a trail riding companion and giving him all the opportunities in the world to exceed in any circuit and please a new owner. He has the high level of desire and lineage to prove himself as the best Rocky Mountain horse you will ever sit on as your personal riding mount! Plasma is on hand for testing with my veterinarian upon request.
