Description:
If you’re looking for that last forever horse that you can have some fun with doing a variety of things than Sedona is your girl. She is a perfect age at six years old; young enough to still go out and do things and have several good years ahead of her but old enough to have the miles under her cinch.
Sedona is a horse that I fully trust down the trails or out on the roads. She’s not easily phased. She’ll go anywhere and blaze a new trail for you. She has been the go-to horse to teach young horses how to drive by hitching them double with her. She’s also been the go-to horse to pony a new young string of horses. She has the level head for so many different things and the wisdom to be a confidence booster for other horses.
She’s the perfect size, not too tall and not too small. She stands at 15 hands tall but stout enough to carry a bigger rider or pull a heavier load. In fact, when the tractor wasn’t available, she was used to pull round bales out to the pastures and was completely fine with a bail rolling out behind her. She’s very patient for mounting from the ground or if you have a mounting block to ask her to come over, she’ll come pick you up.
She knows how to ride around without a bridle. She can move off of your leg and seat well. She’s mainly been ridden in western, but she can go English as well.
She’s fun for all level of riders. I would say she’s an advanced beginner horse only because she does know her leg cues well. But with supervision she can be used to give lessons to complete beginners as well. She is still fun for the experienced rider too because she knows who she has on her back and takes care of you and matches your level while staying safe and fun.
We bought Sedona straight from the Breeder. We’ve had her here with us for some time now. So, we know her entire history she’s been a family horse her entire life with NO baggage. She was started and finished the right way and has the right foundation under her.
Sedona is one that I would not mind keeping here. She’s an all around amazing horse. I get constant compliments on her ALL the time from her looks to her personality and calmness. It’s hard to let her go, but we get young horses in all the time that we have to keep worked and Sedona would get neglected because she’s not a horse you have to go out and work every day. Where I get young horses in that do need my attention every day so if I did keep her, I feel like that would be selfish to me and her. So, I would love it if she found someone that she could enjoy life with.
She has such a level mind, and she’s been tested in so many different ways and has always proven herself to be a safe well-rounded reliable horse that you can trust in all situations.
I have ridden her down to the river and each time we see kayaks, inner tubes, canoes, and even speedboats go by. And she’ll just stand there and watch them go by. She doesn’t care a bit about traffic or all the hustle and bustle downtown when we drive down there. She’s seen it all from semis, motorcycles, bikes, to the neighbor’s dogs coming out and following us. She is NOT easily phased at all.
She’s patient and is the perfect type of horse to learn how to drive on she’ll stand all day waiting for you to get in the cart. In fact, I can hitch her up all by myself and just leave her stand and walk off into the house to go get stuff and come back and she’ll still be standing in the same spot waiting patiently not tied.
When I get back from driving her, I can unhitch her take all of her equipment off in the yard and have her just follow me without a lead or halter either back to the barn or out to the pasture. Basically, I don’t always take her back to the same spot she knows to follow wherever I lead.
Her personality matches her looks. She’s just gorgeous with the flaxen mane and tail. She has a naturally kinky curly mane, and I just love her white star and stripe that goes down her face, and she has the kindest eye. She’s a puppy dog out in the pasture she gets along with everyone in a mixed herd. She’s easy to catch even when another horse takes off running, she’ll stay there and let me catch her.
Her ground manners are great! She stands good for the farrier, tacking up, and mounting. She loads and hauls in the trailer like a dream you’ll never know she’s in there she’s so quiet. She knows how to hobble for overnight camping, or she ties out just fine too.
She has also been used for some daily ranching so she’s quite handy when you need a horse that you can open and close gates off from the back. And she’s a natural at herding the cows and calves up she will remind you of a heeler dog if there’s one in front of her not moving along, she’ll give them some encouragement. She’s been used to rope and hold cows for doctoring. So, she’s very ranch savvy for the everyday ranch work.
She is a master of the trails she has been through creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, over logs, bridges, and steep hills or banks are no problem. She can do the miles she has been on some long 20 mile trips guiding.
She has the skills to pay the bills. She is versatile she has the potential and all the right buttons. She could be used in combined driving eventing, ranch equitation, cowboy dressage, or even fox hunting. The list goes on she has endless potential. And even endurance or competitive riding she would be good at. The longest trip she did was 21 miles to be exact, but she could’ve kept going. She wouldn’t beat the Arabs in a race, but she can complete one and you can have fun while doing it. She is half Morgan so I could see her doing well in an endurance ride. She’s in fit condition to start competing any day. And she’ll drink at any water spot along the way and eats whenever you let her snack along the way.
She doesn’t care if she’s left behind and the other horses take off without her, she’ll stay walking. She leaves home alone just fine. She can ride front back or middle with strange horses.
She’s quite used to her doggy sidekick tramp running full speed up behind her or popping in and out of the brush at her. And she’ll jump a log out on the trails with no hesitations. She has seen all sorts of wildlife out on the trails, and nothing seems to bother her.
I just love her cross as well I think it’s the perfect mix. Her dad was a foundation bred morgan and her mom an American Cream Draft. So, she does have the thicker legs and big feet like the draft, but she has the Morgan brain, endurance, personality, and hair! She has the lushest curly hair… Anyways I absolutely love the Morgan breed because they are so versatile you can literally do just about anything you set your mind to with a Morgan. Because they have more of that thinking side of their brain working and they have a more natural curiosity and willingness to please attitude and she really does make you think of a Morgan once you ride her. Sometimes from first glance looking at her you might think more drafty but just ride her and you’ll realize she’s more like a good old foundation Morgan.
I don’t have one bad thing to say about her to me she’s just about as close to perfection as you can get. She’s the type of horse everyone wants to ride/drive. If you buy her be prepared that you are going to get everyone in your family and friend groups trying to steal her from you. And endless complements with people stopping to see her and take pictures.
She comes up to date on shots, dewormings, vet check, coggins, and farrier. Just call with any questions or to set up a time to come see her in person.
