Being a grandson of SMART LITTLE LENA on the top and out of a daughter of DUALS BLUE BOON, he is bred for performance, versatility and brains. He is the type of horse you can go rope all day on and then throw your kids in the saddle to cool him down. He is currently being hauled and roped on by myself who is a beginner header and he takes great care of me, makes up for my mistakes and is always forgiving. He is great in the practice pen, at the big time ropings, and is always going to give you an honest shot to rope, pulls strong and faces effortlessly. He is also great on the heel side and the breakaway! He has spent many long days here in East Texas doctoring cattle, sorting off pairs and dragging calves.

Fuego has packed many of miles down the trails and goes through, over and under all types of terrain, obstacles, or water. With his brains and ability, Fuego could easily convert over to the stockhorse competitions if that’s what you’re looking for. He has a big stop, smooth turn around, and rocking chair lope. He will complete all of the ranch riding maneuvers, work a cow, confidently go through all the extreme cowboy obstacle courses, and stand out in the ranch horse conformation classes! Fuego's buttons are simple and easy for any level of rider to demonstrate! We have personally used him in our lesson program, let the kids take him to the playdays, hauled him to the ranch sorting and ranch rodeos. He literally can do it all!
