Looking for a larger-than-life friend? Meet “Clifford,” the big red, black, and roan horse!

If his looks do not impress you (but really, how could they not), his loving demeanor will. Clifford is the first one to say good morning, the best way to end your day and the keeper of secrets; he is the only one like him; he is a once-in-a-lifetime gelding.

Never one to leave your side he is a bona fide gentleman who holds his gaits easily and goes right where you point him to go. Ever so smooth to ride in the arena, trails, and on the ranch. Makes friends wherever he goes, and if there is one that forgets he is a horse and does not belong in the house, it is Clifford.

You will lose track of how many miles you have traveled on the trails because of how absolutely comfortable he is to ride.  Stout and feather-footed, with a great wither to hold your saddle, and absolutely!

He is one the TPH family have enjoyed and depended on for years. Clifford is a solid, very safe, been-there-done-that type of gelding. He has seen and visited various environments, from parades to the remote Rocky Mountains, and has also been a ranch horse that we have depended on.

Not only smooth on the trails Clifford arena work and gaits are graceful and efficient – like floating on air. He will lope in the palm of your hand with an incredible neck rein and indirect reins, moves off your leg, side passes, and has a smooth jog and extended trot. He rides well in a shank bit and a snaffle bit, English and Western. Would be fun in the Ranch Versatility, 4H events, Ranch Trail, English, Ranch Roping, and Ranch Cutting. Clifford is trained to curbside from anywhere to mount aboard off of a simple cluck, too.

One of the surest-footed, Clifford is ready to climb one mountain to see what is on the other side. He has no problem taking the lead as he has led pack strings in rough backcountry mountains on hunting trips. Plus, he is just fine if you’d rather stay behind and take photos from his back.  You name it, he has seen it: elk, bear, bikers, deer, hikers, dogs, and wolves. He will pack, hobble, and picket, and has been exposed to so much that goes into overnight camp trips.

Really his full name should be “Clifford As Patience As Jobe”. He has been ridder by several different riders and has demonstrated that type of patience several times over. A great partner on the ranch he has trailed and gathered a lot of cattle and is quiet when out by himself and doesn’t get his feathers ruffled when the herd takes off. Always available to lend a hand he proves every time he goes out., to be quite an asset, doctoring and sorting pairs. He is great and a perfect size to pony colts from weanlings to nervous young horses. Has actually walked through fire, and isn’t fazed by ATVs, bikes, equipment, flags, and drones flying overhead.

Clifford has excellent ground manners; bathing, clipping, and for the farrier, and gets along with other horses. When you’re done riding, you have a trustworthy buddy who will let you tote him wherever you go.

We will truly miss our gentle giant; he continues to leave daily memories in our hearts. We know who ever the lucky new owner of this fun-loving character is he will always put a smile on your face.

Clifford is a safe, easy-to-ride, user-friendly, true confidence builder. Thank you! UTD on worming, dental, and farrier. Please give us a call to schedule a time to ride and meet Clifford yourself. 406-381-2348.
