Description

Whether it’s a ranch show, cross-country course, parade, or teaching a first-time rider to canter, Gibbs adapts seamlessly. In the past two years at our program, he has consistently been the horse we can trust for every job: beginner lessons, competitive ranch classes, reining, horsemanship, 
Show & Performance Highlights:
• Successfully shown in ranch riding, ranch rail, reining, western riding, trail, horsemanship, halter, hunt seat, equitation, and pleasure.
• Competed in barrels, poles, and fun show events.
—traffic, sirens, and crowds do not bother him.
• Suitable for both amateurs and youth riders with the training and temperament to match.
Temperament & Rideability:
• Exceptionally gentle, forgiving, and confidence-building for novice riders.
• Talented enough to keep advanced riders challenged with spins, lead changes, and versatility across disciplines.
• Reliable whether ridden daily or after several weeks off—no prep or lunging required.
• Excellent trail partner: non-spooky, steady, and sure-footed.
Manners & Ground Skills:
• Stands tied, trailers quietly, and settles easily at new venues.
• Respectful on the ground, easy for grooming, tacking, farrier, and vet care.
• Seasoned traveler for shows, parades, and camping trips.
While Gibbs is as close to the complete package as they come, it is worth noting he is a cribber.
