Trail Ranch Quarter Horse Gelding

“Tonto” is a 9-year-old paint Quarter horse that we have had for the past 2 1/2 years. We received him with some Missouri Foxtrotters because they didn’t have any use for a Quarter horse. Our trainers have background experience with Quarter horses, so we took on riding him for the past couple of years. He has undergone all the Natural Horsemanship training methods. As you will see in the videos, we ask Tonto to do many different things, but his primary use on our farm has been trail riding. He loads well, trailers well, and has been hauled a dozen times to different trail rides. Tonto is willing to lead the rail ride, ride in the middle, or the back. He has an overall calm disposition and is easy to get along with. Tonto has had all of his shots and has recently had his teeth done.

DISPOSITION & TEMPERAMENT: Tonto has an easy-going disposition. He’s always been willing to take to the training very well. He’s never offered a buck or run away. He won’t do anything stupid. He gets along with other horses and is an all-around easy-going guy!

GAIT: Tonto has three gates. He can walk, trot, and has a beautiful canter.

EXPERIENCE: Tonto has extensive trail riding experience. He is also traffic safe. He is secure enough for an inexperienced rider, as you can see in the videos. We have had several different people ride him. I have taken him on several trail rides myself, and I’m a gaited horse enthusiast. Tonto is actually pretty fun to ride. I have also used him for cattle sorting.

TRAINING: Tonto has been in training at our facility for over 2 years. We have used him exclusively. He yields well, lunges both directions and is very soft in the mouth.

In closing, I would like to think that Tonto is suitable for most types of riders. If you are looking for an all-around beautiful, big paint horse, Tonto is your guy!
