CLOUD 9 WALKERS

"Dillon"

Gorgeous Buckskin 7-yr-old Tennessee Walking Horse Gelding

"Dillon" -- Stunningly beautiful and flashy buckskin Tennessee Walking Horse 7-yr-old gelding with big blazed face, lots of chrome. He is built stocky with a crease down his back, wide chest, big hindquarters, big dark gentle eyes, cute personality, loves treats. He has been pampered quite a bit and in fact, expects it! He was born 5-20-99 out of an Ebony Masterpiece/Sun's Delight mare, and his sire is a direct son of the National Supreme Versatility Champion "Good Friday K" (and his sire's dam is a Triple Threat/Sir Winston S mare). This horse is very athletic, has a wonderful head-shaking Tennessee Walk, will rack if you ask him, and has a very, very pleasant, easy canter/lope. This is a very fun horse to ride with a comfortable gait, nice bareback ride, and has the easy spirit that I love -- will go all day if you want him to, but doesn't pull on the bit and try to be at the front of the ride all the time. This is not a mellow, lazy horse, so if you are looking for a dead head, pass him by! He is not the type of horse that you put out to pasture and expect him to be mellow when you pick him back up 6 months later -- he will be frisky, so a person who is good with horses (maybe an intermediate rider) will enjoy him most. If he is being ridden at least 2 or 3 times per week, he is an angel! He is also not a problem, no bucking, rearing, no trouble to shoe, load in the trailer, saddle, catch in the pasture, etc. He parks out on the ground for a picture-perfect model, and also parks out from the saddle for you to get off. Dillon feels and looks like a smoother version of one of the cow horses that you used to see on television on "Bonanza" (if you're old enough to remember that show!), and even at 15H, he's stout enough to carry ol' Hoss Cartwright! $6500
