Spree is more aloof than some of our horses, however many horses bloom when they find their own person that they don't have to share. Her half sister (also by Desperado V) has proven to be so. Spree is one of the pushy horses when we go out into the herd with a curry and a brush, so we feel she is holding her heart back for that one special person.
She is an even mover, squarely built, excellent legs with excellent bone - of our Desperado V youngsters, she is built the best for endurance. She would also do well as a Western Pleasure horse, or, when she grows more, she moves out well enough for Hunter.

NOTE RE: YOUNGER HORSES: These horses have been living at 7000' altitude for almost 5years. Because they were moved as a herd to our ranch when the ranch was totally undeveloped - that is, no well, no house, no barns, no nothing! - they have basically been unhandled since then, except for grooming, petting, etc. They have not been formally trained. This is why the prices we offer are so low for the quality and pedigree of the individual horses.
On the other hand, some benefits have developed from this (non)approach to horse management. Living in a natural situation, the older horses have taught the younger. There are no vices (no kicking, no biting, no weaving, no cribbing). They run free so their feet are worn to the natural and proper angle for each horse. They are used to bicycles, cows, dogs, vehicles, tarps, well drilling rigs, you name it! And, interestingly enough, perhaps because of the very fact that they have no formal training and all their interaction with humans has been "treat" for them, we have been told by trainers & new owners alike that our horses are among the most people friendly and trainable horses they have ever come across.
NOTE RE: GROWTH OF YOUNG HORSES: Our experience and that of others who raise
young horses at high altitudes with harsh winters, is that they tend to grow slowly. Since these
horses have no barn & no stalls, they are not grained. Our horses have been known to grow
well into their 7th year. If you are counting on a smaller horse, please do not go by current size!
You must go by pedigree.
