2019 Quarter Horse Gelding

 15.3 HH

Meet Wilson – if you’re looking for flashy and safe riding partner that has done it all, you can’t beat this gelding!

This gelding is my go-to to get the job done – ponying colts, brandings, move cattle, or mountain riding, he is the perfect fit. Additionally, Wilson has the kindest personality – quiet and sweet, easy to catch and loves getting pampered with attention. He is a “go with the flow” type of guy, bringing a quiet energy to every task, and always willing to put in a good days work.

Wilson is a tall athletic horse with a huge stride – if you need to cover ground, you can count on Wilson to make it happen. Wilson shines in the arena as well! He’ll nicely collect, stop off your seat, and neck reins easily. Wilson is responsive to cues including move off the forehand, move off the haunches and side -passing.  

If you need to get ranch work done, Wilson won’t let you down, having put it in many miles out at the ranch. He has been used to treat cattle in the pasture, sort in a pen, at brandings, and completed long days of cattle drives – he’s even helped teach riders how to rope.

Wilson has seen lots of trail and mountain miles– climbing steep alpine trails, crossing rivers, covering difficult terrain, both riding in a group or solo, and even ridden bareback. He rides out from the farm alone without missing a beat, and is well accustomed to being loaded down with saddle bags, having dogs tag along for the ride, or being passed by vehicles on the road. 

He has also completed obstacle challenges, confidently walking over tarps, teeter-totters and suspension bridges.

Wilson is the unflappable quiet gelding everyone dreams of – he takes in new scenarios all in stride, having been hauled extensively and always willing to give the new task his rider asks a try.  No matter the chaos of the day, Wilson stays calm, quiet and focused on his job.  Even with time off, pull Wilson out of the pasture and hop on for a ride, and he is the same horse you turned out. 

Wilson is a one in a million gelding: Handsome as they come, quiet sweetheart personality and a lengthy resume you can’t beat!

Hi! My name is Shannon Kavanagh and I consider myself lucky I get to live the cowgirl dream everyday: training horses and preparing them for their long term partner!

 My focus in training is to turn out quiet, well rounded horses that have been exposed to a variety of experiences. I enjoy working with young colts, putting a solid foundation on them and ensuring a positive early experience as a saddle horse. I am a firm believer that horses that are taught early how to think through problems are set up for success in life. My program includes desensitization, working cattle, obstacle challenges, outdoor miles with sweaty saddle pads and more.  All of my horses make it to the Rocky Mountains, spending 4-7 days in the backcountry – one of my favorite parts of training that has an amazing impact in making a quiet horse that is ready for anything.
