Scooby

I really don’t know where to start with this guy except for he’s pretty much a unicorn! I love this gelding to the moon and back! Scooby has been in our barn for a few years and one way or another he will steal your heart. Besides being the cutest boy ever, his personality is irresistible. He’s so funny, inquisitive and charming! Anytime I ride Scooby people ask about him. He has the look! He’s an eye catcher and his uniqueness and style is intriguing. He is beautiful mover with a captivating extended trot, cute short lope and the most comfortable little jog. He has automatic lead changes, fancy spins and a nice sliding stop. And boy oh boy does he look the part circling around the arena! Scooby is absolutely gentle in every way, everyday. You can give him as much time off without riding him, even for months and saddle him up and climb aboard and not have a worry in the world. I left him out all last summer for 5 months during a move and when I got back on him it was the exact same horse I left. He’s a doll and trustworthy!

Scooby is excellent in the arena, but loves to be outside too! I have trail ridden him everywhere. I have ridden him several times into town and he has seen the sights of a busy tourist town with lots of action, people, traffic, motorcycles, bicycles, strollers, bad dogs, etc. I always choose Scooby for my non-horse friends to ride. He is a total babysittter and always takes the best care of them. They literally can have both hands on the saddle horn and he will follow right along like a champ. He really likes to be the center of attention. Nothing phases my perfect unicorn!

Scooby's personality is the best. Of course he believes everyone is at the barn to visit him, only him and he loves attention. No horse enjoys spa day more than this charmer whether you are brushing, bathing, braiding or just loving on him, he loves his people. He’s the first one at the gate (always) and he will follow you around like a puppy dog. He will even nicker when he sees you. Scooby has been used around our ranch as well. We have roped on him some, gathered cattle, sorted cattle, and pushed roping cattle up the aisle and into the chutes. He will side pass over to open all the gates and ground tie where you drop a rein.  Scooby is great over all the arena trail obstacles including. He trots and lopes over poles, crosses the bridge, backs though the L, side passes over the log, pulls the drag, jumps small obstacles, and is not phased by any tarp. He’s accustomed to heavy machinery, gunfire, wildlife, crazy dogs, pigs, longhorns, buffalo, and camels. Scooby rides perfect alone or will lead or follow in a group out on trails. He loves water and will go right into the lake or river. He is very sure footed and knows right where his feet are. He will only go as fast as you ask him and will just cruise along slow and steady.

Scooby is the most comfortable to ride and you can enjoy him all day. All of his gaits and transitions are smooth as glass. He is so easy to sit English and bareback. He looks absolutely the cutest in English tack and would be fun to dabble in western dressage too.
