Standing 15.3 hands, gorgeous blood bay with a super long mane and tail, this gelding will get attention every step he takes.

He also looks unbelievable in an English saddle. He is an excellent mover with a magnificent long trot, slow and smooth jog, and a rocking chair lope that you could ride all day. In or out of the arena, this guy handles the trail course flawlessly. Yankee is crosses logs, bridges, and jumps. He willingly side passes to to the gates and ground ties where you drop a rein.

He’s a great confidence builder that knows the ropes. He stays gentle with time off and is the same sweet and honest boy every time you saddle him. Absolutely no silly business. Yankee trail rides like a dream and is confident alone or good in group. He’s a happy camper in all situations. He will cross running water, deep mud, thick brush, navigate through prickly cactus, and has seen lots of different terrain. Yankee loves attention and is easy peasy to catch in the pasture. He will walk right up to you and follow you around. He’s great with other horses in the pasture and side by side in a stock trailer. He will stand tied patiently for hours and is always respective of people and all animals. Yankee knows some fun tricks and will lay down with a touch of the finger and pick up your rope or hat from the ground. He’s accustomed to crazy dogs, heavy traffic, loud gunfire, large machinery and blowing tarps. Yankee is going to make someone amazing and we are proud to offer this phenomenal gelding. He ticks all those boxes with his stellar looks, a gentle demeanor, blacktype pedigree and a huge performance record! Just like Yankee, we absolutely adored him.
