2021 AQHA Gelding
14.3 1/2 HH
Argo is a stunning chocolate palomino gelding that turns heads everywhere he goes. His rich, golden coat and long, thick mane and tail give him a presence that’s breathtaking. But it’s his fun-loving, puppy-dog personality that truly sets him apart. Argo is a total character — a playful, curious, and affectionate gelding who loves attention and interaction. He’s the kind that meets you at the gate and follows you around the yard, always ready to be your partner for the day.
I purchased Argo directly from the people who raised him, so his history is as solid as his training. He was brought up in a professional reining program, giving him a foundation that’s as correct as they come. His pedigree is impeccable — an own son of Gunnatrashya and out of a Nu Chex To Cash mare that’s a proven money earner — combining the power, athleticism, and mind of two of the reining world’s most respected lines. That influence shows through in everything he does: Argo is soft, stylish, and willing, with the quality and presence of a horse bred to excel.
In the arena, Argo performs every reining maneuver with precision and ease. He has smooth, cadenced circles, correct lead departures, stylish spins, and a deep, pretty stop that’ll make you grin every time. He rides soft in the bridle, stays framed up naturally with a lot of self carriage, and guides around one-handed. His reining foundation also makes him a great ranch versatility gelding — he’s broke, steady, and loves to please, whether you’re fine-tuning in the pen or just enjoying a nice lope. He is user friendly to ride and has a soft jog and lope anyone is able to sit.
Outside the show ring, Argo is as dependable as they come. He’s been trail ridden and exposed to all kinds of terrain and obstacles, always staying calm and confident wherever you take him. He’s gentle to catch, saddle, and haul, and remains the same horse every day — kind, quiet, and consistent. With his beauty, pedigree, and personality, Argo truly checks every box: a gorgeous, well-trained gelding with the heart, mind, and talent to go any direction you choose.
