COMET – 2009 GRADE Red Roan Gelding

To ride him is to love him! COMET is a 15.2-hand heavy-built red roan dream horse. He is fancy broke, quick and responsive, athletic, hard-working and focused. He wants to please and will do ANYTHING you ask. You’ll never enjoy a trail ride more than on the back of this beauty. He has a ton of leg and bone, and is solid, sane, and sound in every way. He’s UTD on shots, teeth, and worming. He is one tough mountain horse, and extremely sure-footed in any terrain. Ride him alone to check fences or collect a stray pair in a hail storm at night, or mosey with friends on a sunny trail ride to enjoy the views. He has done everything there is to do on a ranch, and Comet will give you his all, all day long, every day. My best story about riding Comet is from a brisk day last spring. We still had a lot of snow on the ground, but you could hear the creeks beginning to wake up deep beneath the snow and ice. I pointed Comet down the side of a steep ravine. He slid down, but when we landed at the bottom, the ice shelf beneath us gave way with a tremendous CRRRAACCKKKK and began to float downstream! I braced for the inevitable explosion any rider would expect in such a situation, but Comet crouched like a cutter, rode the ice like a skateboard, and when it came to rest a few yards downstream, calmly stepped out the other side and climbed the opposite embankment. No panic, no drama, no ice bath for me. The only negative about Comet, and the reason we are breaking our hearts by parting with him, is that he can be rough on other geldings in a mixed herd. With mares alone, or with geldings alone, he is a gentleman, but put them together, and he wants to be the main man. VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtWNdlAC_W0  FMI: 303-877-9151. Coggins.
