Description
Cherokee is a very athletic and handy for his size, he is an idea mount for anyone from kids to seniors. Cherokee has done a little bit of everything and does it willingly and with softness – trail riding, arena work, roping, working cattle, riding English, plus he does tricks such as laying down and bowing. He will spin, side pass, roll back and stop on a dime. If you’d like to hitch him in a beautiful carriage for weddings, he is well broke (traffic safe) to drive. Cherokee has the body and quiet attitude to be a great racetrack pony horse as well.
If his looks alone do not stop you in your tracks with his striking paint color, his sweet, loving personality will melt your heart. He will try to please you in any way and is quick to learn any new thing that you throw at him. This gelding is as sweet and gentle as you could want and would be an excellent mount for both kids and less experienced adults. Be sure to watch the video all the way through to see our daughter mounting him alone, trotting and loping off in the correct lead.
Cherokee looks and rides much more like an extra stout quarter horse than a draft. He is well trained to walk, trot, jog, lope, and canter and is soft to your leg cues to side pass and leg yield with ease. He has been ridden all over the country and will go through any type of terrain and water or obstacle in your path. He has worked many hours on the ranch roping and working calves and will not tire quickly. We have ridden him on several trail rides in groups and will gladly go off alone without any issues. He will make anyone smile ear to ear with his smooth easy gaits and his rocking horse canter with great lift in his shoulder. Cherokee is not a spooky horse and will always ride the same no matter how often or how little you take him out for a ride. His impeccable ground manners allow you to groom, saddle, fly spray, wash, for the farrier and for the vet. He is a true all around great minded horse that is looking to be your new best friend!
