LCE Cat In Bandera
Mario is a 5 year old AQHA registered Red Dun gelding that is gorgeous to look at with a cute head and neck, nice shoulder and big hip! Mario is a grandson of High Brow Cat who is an all-time leading performance horse sire with over 64 million in earnings! Mario is bred to do it all from working cow horse, cutting, and roping. Standing 14.3 hh Mario is started on the heel side with lots of potential to also make a nice breakaway horse! Will track a cow, can rope the dummy off of him all day at a walk, trot or lope, and will stand for you to rope the dummy on. He is good with a rope, is good in the box, scores good, has lots of run, will take a hit, just needs to be hauled! We have also pushed, sorted and moved cattle with him, will side-pass to open and close gates so the rider doesn’t have to get off! This young gelding is as broke as they come and rides off the same every time, even if left in a stall. Mario stands quietly to be brushed, bathed, clipped, saddled and bridled. In the arena he stands to be mounted, walks, has a cute job, lopes nice collected circles, takes both of his leads, rides with leg pressure/cues, side-passes, backs up nicely, has a big stop, and has one hand neck rein. He has mainly been used as an arena horse but will cross the logs, ditches, water, goes out alone and go up and down the hills. Walks, trots, lopes, neck reins, backs up, and stops all bridle-less or in a halter and rope!! Mario is quiet and gentle to be around, is easy to catch, good with the other horses, is good for the farrier and veterinarian, ties anywhere all day, great in a stall or pasture, loads good, hauls good with new horses, is calm in new environments, loves attention and always wants to please his rider! You won’t want to miss out on Mario, he has a great handle on him, a good start on the heeling side, and has the breeding and athletic ability to do anything you ask of him! Sells 100% Sound. SOLD
