Shiner is a standout 14.1 hand 8 year old sorrel gelding with a long mane and a tail that touches the ground. He has a world-class pedigree featuring Peptoboonsmal, Shining Spark, and Moonlight Dancer—all cow-bred legends, combining the best of brains, looks, and ability. He’s the kind of all-around horse that’s hard to find and even harder to part with.
This handsome gelding has been used extensively on the ranch and the trail, making him a seasoned, versatile partner. He is cattle-wise, knows how to handle a rope, and is currently being used in mounted shooting and obstacle courses. Shiner has also seen plenty of action at local Playdays where he has seen Ranch Pleasure, poles, barrels and Trail classes. He is no stranger to banners, rough stock, or crowds.
He’s a proven veteran of Fourth of July parades—nothing fazes him. He crosses water, mud, hills, and any terrain you point him at with confidence. Shiner is incredibly surefooted, athletic, and agile, yet remains gentle, personable, and always eager to please.
