Spike – One Blue Eye, a Spotted Coat, and Enough Charm to Fill a Barn
5-Year-Old Spotted Gelding | 14.2hh | Ranch & Trails | Personality & Charm
If a Disney horse and a ranch hand had a baby, it might look a lot like Spike. This spotted roan gelding is a total original—sporting a one-of-a-kind coat, a bold blue eye, and a happy-go-lucky attitude that makes him impossible not to love. He’s the kind that meets you at the gate with ears up, a curious expression, and a “what are we doing today?” sparkle in his eye.
Originally started as a 2-year-old, Spike spent a few easy-going years just being a pretty face in the pasture. But don’t let that fool you—he’s making up for lost time. With about 120 solid days of riding under his belt this year, he’s hit the ground running (or loping, rather) and taken to every task with a can-do attitude. From working gates like a pro to navigating the sale barn chaos, Spike has proven himself handy on the ranch. He’s gathered pastures, sorted cattle, and isn’t afraid to get into the thick of a workday.
He’s soft in the face, light on his feet, and listens to your leg like he’s reading your mind. Direct rein comes easy to him, and he’s a smooth, uncomplicated ride with an easy lope on both leads. Out on the trail, he takes the world in stride—logs, brush, deep water, rowdy dogs, traffic—you name it, he’s seen it, and he handles it all with the same relaxed confidence.
But what really sets Spike apart is his personality. He’s eager to learn, loves to “show off” his circus tricks, and always tries his heart out. He doesn’t just tolerate people, he enjoys them. Whether you’re riding fences, hitting the trails, or just hanging out, Spike brings a light-hearted energy that makes the whole day better.
Unique, useful, and full of heart—Spike’s the kind of gelding you don’t find every day. If you’re looking for a a nice young partner to finish out your way he’s got the character, color, and try. This blue-eyed boy could just be your next favorite horse.
