Rico- 4 year old half draft (Percheron and quarter horse cross) Selling for my father. Rico stands at 16.1 hands and is built solid. He was bought and started by a trainer in Utah at the age of one and was his main mount until late last fall. He was used on many mountain cattle drives working pairs and bulls alike in the hills. Also used to rope and pony new colts. After we picked him up he has been on several mountain trails and little rides around our place. He was dad’s main mount. A couple months ago, dad got kicked by another horse and shattered his knee and hasn’t been able to ride. Rico was sent off to a trainer here to keep him fresh and has another 30 days of professional riding. Trainer said he did great for him. Looking to sell for two reasons 1.) so dad can find a shorter horse to mount (with his new knee issues) 2. Rico wouldn’t be a great horse to pass down to the kids.

Pros: Built solid. Would have no issues putting in hard ranch miles daily Picks up all feet with no issues Started right with easily over 90 days of professional training No kick, buck, or bite

Cons: Can get fresh with extended time off Can be watchy/flighty at times but seems to correlate directly with how much time he has had off

We’re hesitant to let him go because he’ll be a great horse with the right rider and with some time but unfortunately we’re short on both of them at the moment. He’ll make one heck of a ranch mount. Just looking to get him off our feed bill and get out what we’ve already invested into him. Our loss is your gain.
