Double K "Blue Badger Fritz" ~ June 2016 blue roan gelding
Very friendly, calm and quiet.
Bred, born and trained here at the ranch, he was started right and taught to be patient; yet responsive to cues.
Neck reins, leg yields, backs, takes both leads and side passes to open gates.
Pushed cows, and ponies other horses. Traffic safe, trots down the blacktop into town, wasn't bothered by things even the first time he went in. Steady minded, doesn't get upset when other horses run by him. Rides double, bareback and in a halter! 14.1 hh Very easy the get on, but also trained to come over to a stump. Would make a great youth or ladies horse. I have had an 8yr old friend and my mom who is in her late 60's ride him. He has a calm attitude but will stick with you when you need to get a job done.
"Fritzie" is super easy to catch, always come up to you in the pasture, but not pushy for attention, respectful and no bad habits. His calm disposition could be seen from the very beginning as a baby.
From early learning in leading, yielding, picking up hooves... he never gave much resistance to anything! He went on trail rides with mama, or stayed home in the pasture and was fine with that, too. . .
The one video below is the first day our little 8 yr. friend had ridden him and it shows how calmly he took it all in!
Great attitude topped off with conformation & color!
His arrival marked the beginning of a program to offer the safest minds possible in the Quarter Horse world... we've worked with hundreds of horses, and these bloodlines consistantly impress with their "born bomb-proof" attitudes. These roans out of Rip Cord Flash lines have been baby sitters right from first starting training... a couple months under saddle and we're comfortable letting elderly people and little kids ride them on trails or cows. As a family that has experienced it's share of horse wrecks, (and wants to call quits on getting hurt!) these personalities are priceless.
Blue Badger Fritz is nephew to "Blue Sage" high selling horse at the 2014 live TV auction, Superior Sales, RFDTV. Sold for $15,000 as a 3 yr. old, and you can watch his videos and see why!
Both "Sage's" sisters have that same unflappable temperament, and they pass that disposition on.
Fritzie's cousin "Strawberry" has gone to Michigan as a stud prospect and show horse.

Fritzie last fall, ridden by head wrangler Abigail, (5'8" tall.) |
Fritzi early in training, the very first time our friend's littel girl got on him to ride by herself. This shows how patient he is with any rider, including a brand new to him, light weight, child rider who doesn't know what cues to give him a lot of the time. He's a sweet heart, and just goes with it... in complete safety! |
