14.2 HH

Royal River Dancer affectionally known as "Fuego" is one a once-in-a-lifetime type of horse that every rancher, roper and cowgirl dreams about! This 2018 Red Dun, AQHA, gelding stands 14.2HH is as wide as he is tall, and will take you to the pay window at the roping, pack your entire family down the trails and be the first one you catch to take to do ranch chores! Fuego is the definition of user friendly, versatile, and solid! He will do any type of job, goes anywhere you point him with no hesitation, and is the same horse no matter how much time he has off. He can go days, months or years with time off and you never have to worry about any buck, bite, bolt, rear, or kick!

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.

If you have no desire to ever pick up a rope, the possibilities are endless for this gelding whether you head to the ranch shows, ranch sorting, playdays, or want yourself a nice trail horse. 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!

At our ranch in Lufkin, Texas, Fuego is easy to catch, stands tied for the farrier, grooming, saddling, and bathes. He can be inside or outside and gets along easily with other horses. He has zero vices, requires no maintenance and is an easy keeper. We assure you; you can buy this gelding with confidence knowing he will be the whole package.
