Choctaw (DGR Merlin) is a 14 hand, 8 year old, STUNNING registered Sabino Gypsy Vanner gelding. You will not find a safer horse for the entire family! He has plenty of size (wears size 2 shoe) and structure to carry most any sized rider. He is extremely well trained for arena riding and a complete dream on the trails. If you’re on the hunt for a sturdy ranch hand, Choctaw is your guy! He’ll move pairs, sort, rope – you name it! He provides fun for everyone – pulls the inner tube through the water, super fun to drive, jump off him as a diving board, lay him down, take him over the teeter totter (and any other obstacles you can find), ride bareback, race through the sand – there isn’t a thing he won’t do!
Choctaw has experienced lots of outside miles on trails and loves to go to the lake or lope across the sand dunes. He’s beyond fancy pulling a cart – and he loves it! He is accustomed to all types of terrain. Very sure footed in the Rocky Mountains and easy to maneuver through all the water and sage brush. He loves water and will happily go for a swim in the lake. He will go right where you point him without hesitation. He is brave by himself or will gladly follow a group out on the trails. He has seen lots of wildlife, is good with crazy dogs, mini horses, blowing tarps, loud gunfire and four wild cowboys. He is an absolute blast and so easy to ride!
Choctaw was used this year by an 8 year old little cowgirl for the Rigby Stampede Days Queen Contest, where they won 1st attendant. Choctaw is simple to maneuver and easy for all levels of riders. He’s an exceptional horse to own and will allow you to turn him out for long periods of time and then saddle him right back up – he’ll be gentle, quiet and safe, just the way you left him! All the little girls love to braid his thick, long, gorgeous hair and he truly enjoys being pampered and loved on.
Choctaw is a true gentleman that is super easy on the eyes. Easy to catch, shoe, bath, load, vet. You truly can’t help but smile in his presence with his sweet, loving disposition and inquisitive personality.
Choctaw is one of the neatest horses that we have ever had an opportunity to own. You’ll show up in style anywhere you ride him – he’s fancy! We absolutely love this handsome man and our pleased to offer him for sale at this time.
