“RF Dos Sassy Rio” is a registered AQHA gelding. He is 9 years old and stands 15.1 hands tall. He is a beautiful palomino color with big dapples and is built like an athlete. His conformation is outstanding and the way he carries himself is elegant and powerful. On the ground Rio is respectful of your space but loves your attention as well. He is very well mannered and an over all awesome mount!
In the indoor and outdoor arenas, Rio is experienced. He is very collected when riding. He will lope circles both ways, taking the correct leads each way. He has a nice one hand neck rein and a big stop. Rio side passes and turns around with skill. He is very soft in the mouth and face and is easy to ride and control. He is both gentle and responsive.
On the trail, Rio is confident, safe and surefooted. Rio is an exceptional trail horse! He has had extensive trail riding experience and is a trail horse deluxe! He’s been trail ridden many miles by our entire family. He will go up and down steep hills with ease, through mud, ditches and deep water, over logs and through brush. Rio is the same steady ride on all types of terrain, from rough and rocky to wet and sandy- he has seen and ridden all of it! He will ride out alone or with a group. He has the confidence to be in the front and is easy going enough to be in the back.
Rio is a cow horse deluxe. Around the ranch, Rio has been used to check fences and pastures. He’s been used to check, move, sort and catch cattle. He is also no stranger to the rope. We have used him time after time to rope wild cows and bulls, he has pulled cattle onto the trailer to help us load them. He’s even been pushed around by bulls and such more than his fair share and he holds his ground and does not get worked up about it. He will track and rope the roping dummy and will also load up and go to rodeos, back in the box, rope the head or heel side and get you in the money. He is no stranger to work and has a willing to please attitude in whatever job you give him. He is also familiar with other livestock and barn pets. The goats, dogs and cats that run in and out of the stall with him never phase him and he gets along well.
Rio is easy to catch, he is clean and quiet in the stall and gets along in the pasture. He stands tied patiently and for the farrier. He stands to be tacked up and mounted and he also loads and hauls great. He loves grooming and a bath and is super well behaved.
Rio is also familiar with tarps, whips, and guns. He has been put through the test when it comes to kids running around and making a commotion, as you can see in the video. Rio has been ridden to and through town, and is completely traffic safe.
Rio is the type of horse that has been there and done that. His color and build is nearly perfect and for sure will turn the heads, but his skill, experience and disposition are all part of what makes him an all around amazing horse.
