Bubba

Description:

Bubba is a gorgeous 4-year-old true blue roan Percheron/Quarter Horse cross gelding. He stands 16.1 hands tall with a big body mass and weighs approximately 1400 pounds. He wears a number 4 shoe all the way around. Bubba’s Percheron features include his big bone, foot, and build, along with his laid-back attitude that is very willing to please. Bubba’s Quarter Horse’s features are his intelligence and athleticism. This combination of characteristics gives Bubba that wow factor that truly makes him a special animal.
Bubba has tons of personality and is very personable. He looks forward to seeing you! He will follow you out of the stall and stand patiently to be groomed and tacked up. Bubba stands to be mounted and will also side pass to a mounting block (a tree stump, log, truck, or whatever you choose) to be mounted. Bubba will also lie down for you to mount or dismount! At your command, Bubba will lie down from the ground and saddle. He will also sit up like a dog and sit on a bean bag or chair.
Since owning Bubba, he has been an all-around go-to horse for our entire family. He is a horse that you can take trail riding on the most extreme trails, and you can always trust him to get you where you need to go and to get you there safely. It doesn’t matter how deep the mud, how wide the river, or how rough the rocks- Bubba is the horse you can count on. Bubba has been on camping trips and trail rides all over the place. He is safe and sure-footed, strong and confident.
Bubba has done all sorts of ranch work under saddle. He has been used to rope wild cattle and even catch and load wild bulls weighing up to a ton. He’s been used to sort and pen cattle at the stockyards. He has loaded semi-trucks. He has also been used to pasture rope. Just about anything you can think of that has to do with livestock, Bubba has been used for and has done it with a calm and confident attitude that makes it easy to get the job done and get it done right.
Not only is Bubba an exceptional trail and ranch horse, but he also has all the bells and whistles. Bubba will one-hand neck rein, works off of leg pressure, he will do complete 360 degree turns when asked, he will back, he will side pass, has a big stop that is collected, and lopes circles taking the correct leads, all while being collected and composed.
Bubba is also no stranger to hunting. He has been hunted off of and is definitely safe with gunshots and has no issue whatsoever with any dogs. He has been coon hunted off of at night, and squirrel hunted off of in the day. He will lead dogs and doesn’t mind them running around his feet.
Bubba has been worked with around all sorts of farm machinery out in the fields. He’s been hooked to a carriage, a one-horse wagon, and a cart, among other things. He will hook up and work any way you want to use him. He is big and stout enough to pull a carriage and plenty classy enough for it too! He will surely turn heads with his extended trot, as he has a great headset and is very animated with his front legs.
Bubba loves people, other horses, and other farm animals—even the goats and barn cats that are in and out of the stall with him all the time. He is easy to catch and will come right to you. He gets along well in the pasture with other horses, is quiet and clean in the stall, stands patiently in the cross-ties, stands quiet for the farrier, loads and hauls wonderfully, and is truly a wonderful horse to be around.
Bubba is a super unique, one-of-a-kind animal, being the crossbred that he is. Bubba has made an exceptional animal with the best qualities from both the Percheron and the Quarter horse! His size, build, color, attitude, training, and mindset give him limitless potential! Bubba is extremely safe and gentle and has a great deal of experience under his belt, but we can also see that he is ready to go on and do bigger and better things. With his training and how well he stands and minds, he could be a carriage horse or a mounted police horse, and with his elegance and class, he could do dressage. With his capability, talent, and athleticism, the sky is the limit with Bubba. You can see all of this and more in our full YouTube video. Feel free to call with any questions at all!
