SHAPEY, KIND EYE & HANDSOME are the first words that come to mind about this fancy red head with chrome we affectionately call “Pistol”. We have had Pistol in our program for a couple of years now and his versatility in and out of the arena and his kind, and good guy nature has made it hard for us here at TPH to let him go. As the son of the late great stallion Dual Smart Rey, (the EquiStat Elite 13 Million Dollar Sire and earner of $330,436 who left a lasting impact on the cutting and reined cow horse industry) his natural instinct on a cow is well apparent in the cutting, roping, and sorting pen. Pistol is a Money Winning & easy to rope on Head Horse- with natural rate, all the run you need, fancy move across the pen with a snappy face. He steady Eddie in the box and is great with the World Series as well as the traditional barriers.
He rides bareback & bridle-less, mounts easily from block, rock or curb, and is so well trained! He glides across the pen, with a fancy handle, lead change, lift of a finger one-handed rein, & the minute you say “whoa,” he gives you a nice deep stop.
Pistol has all the talent & ability to be successful in the show pen, in the Ranch Versatility, Ranch Riding, & Cow-horse events. He is a ligament cow horse and knows how to handle a cow across the pasture, sorting, taking one down the fence, or running one across the pen. The VERY BEST Trail and Ranch Horse has seen all types of terrain from packing and camping in the mountains of Montana where he has been hobbled and has pickets, to the deserts and rocky terrain of Arizona. Any ranch foreman would love to swing a leg over him, so smooth makes a day in the saddle like driving a Cadillac. He stands quietly to mount, dismount & will ground tie where you leave him. Turn Pistol out for months; he will saddle up & ride off like he was ridden the day before. He is good with traffic, loud gunfire, blowing tarps, dogs all around him, and wildlife. We will continue to enjoy and win on Pistol as-long-as we can & look forward to seeing who the lucky buyer will be. Schedule a time to try him for yourself. Sound & UTD on worming, dental & farrier.
