Blackjack

Looking for a horse that turns every ride into a good time? Meet Blackjack, a 5-year-old black gelding standing 14.3 hands and built just right. He’s been both headed and heeled on, showing all the makings of a top-shelf rope and ranch horse. In the box, he’s solid and honest — leaves flat, runs straight to the hip, and gives you the same steady shot every trip. He’s got that perfect blend of speed and feel: quick when you ask, quiet when you don’t. Low-headed, soft, and correct, he makes everything you do feel smooth and easy. I’ve had the pleasure of owning and giving Blackjack the solid foundation he carries today, and he’s truly been a joy to work with — the kind you look forward to riding. Watching him grow into a seasoned, confident, dependable partner has been nothing short of rewarding. He rides like one twice his age — steady-minded, safe, and always willing to step up. Whether you’re sorting cattle, doctoring, or gathering in the rough, he’s the same cool-headed partner every time. He’s that super-chill, go-with-the-flow kind that makes ranch work downright fun. He’s been through steep country, brush, water, and wildlife without missing a beat. Traffic, bikes, strollers, tarps, flags, and bouncy balls don’t even raise an eyebrow — if it flaps, rolls, or honks, Blackjack’s already seen it and didn’t care one bit. Easy to catch, tack, haul, and shoe, he’s as pleasant in the barn as he is out on the trail. Stall or pasture — he doesn’t mind either way. No fuss, no drama, just a good-minded gelding that shows up the same every single day. If you’re after one that’s safe, broke, and plain fun to ride, Blackjack’s your guy — the kind that keeps a cool head, gets the job done, and makes you smile while he’s doing it.
