2020 Draft Cross Gelding
15.1 1/2 HH
Winchester is a one-of-a-kind draft cross gelding with a look and presence that stops everyone in their tracks. His striking dark steel-gray coat, four white socks, and a unique white streak running through his mane make him unforgettable.
Winchester is big, stout, and built to last — the kind of horse that combines substance, beauty, and heart. But it’s not just his looks that set him apart; he’s truly one of the kindest and most genuine horses you could ask for. He’s gentle, quiet, and has a calm, people-loving personality that makes him a pleasure to be around every single day.
We’ve ridden Winchester extensively out on the trail, and he’s proven himself to be sure-footed, trustworthy, and confident in every situation. He crosses water, steps through brush, and navigates all kinds of terrain with ease and confidence. He’s steady and reliable whether you’re alone or in a group, and his gentle, easygoing nature makes him safe and enjoyable for any rider. Winchester is the same horse every day — gentle to catch, easy to saddle, and always ready to go wherever you point him.
In the arena, Winchester moves like a dream. He’s incredibly smooth and soft to ride, with a rocking-chair lope and a low, cadenced jog. He rides off your seat and legs, stays quiet in the bridle, and gives you that same easy feel whether you’re just loping circles or practicing transitions. His balance and willingness make him a great fit for riders who appreciate a horse that’s both broke and forgiving, with the ability to look good doing anything.
Whether you’re looking for a standout trail partner, a family-safe all-around gelding, or a horse with the size, looks, and rideability to do it all, Winchester checks every box. He’s big enough to carry any rider, kind enough for anyone to enjoy, and fancy enough to turn heads wherever he goes.
Winchester is the perfect blend of substance, style, and serenity — a true gentle giant with a heart of gold.
