Drifter is the kind and color everyone wants! This 15 hand buckskin great grandson of Orphan Drift is an exceptional ranch horse and at 8 years old still has a ton of life in him! We’ve had this horse since he was a weanling and he has done all aspects of ranch and feedlot work. When asked he will really watch a cow but his preference is slow and steady making him the perfect candidate for a ‘family gelding’. If you understand the basics of riding he’ll take care of you!

Huckleberry is a 7 year old blue roan gelding. He stands approximately 14.3 hands. He has been used to gather and ship cattle in the flinthills. Huck has never offered to buck and is the same horse whether you ride him once a week or once a year. However, he does need an intermediate to experienced level rider as he still needs corrected from time to time. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. You wont want to miss out on this nice gelding. 40 www.thistledewcattle.com | e: chris@thistledewcattle.com

He has never offered to buck and he will be the same horse when spring rolls around. I would advise he be ridden by an experienced rider for a few more years as he is on the right track to being an outstanding gelding! 42 www.thistledewcattle.com | e: chris@thistledewcattle.com

Bocephus has been on the Nelson ranch since he was a weanling and has been my main mount for the last two years. He’s drug calves, roped strays, and shipped hundreds of loads of cattle. This is the horse I let beginners ride when they want on one. He stands 16 plus hands and has a very big but controlled motor. He may not be colored up like some of the other horses, but he makes up for it in brains and athleticism. Don’t overlook this gelding!

“My dad said the Baldie Cow is the quintessential female. With years of observation we could not agree more. Sustainable best describes them.
