Blue Roan colt, born June, 16 th 2021
Really well made, shape-y foal & sure to have a great disposition like his parents.
Imprint trained at birth, early learning in leading, yielding, picking up hooves.
Out of Culpeppers Frosty B, my favorite horse to work cows on & but also safe enough to be one of our go-to horses to put guests on.
Sired by Plenty Fritzinental ranch blue roan foundation bred stallion. A super sweet & quite guy, as a 3 yr old I can catch him out of the pasture with mares & lope off bareback with a bosal. Plenty’s sire was a very old-style, ranch, working Quarter Horse big & strong enough that he’d pull roped, unwilling, bulls into trailers. Big boned, he was still sound at age 19 when he died.
This baby was born looking Inky, Oily-Black! in the full light, a sure sign that he's going to change his coat. Look close, and you can see the white hairs in his flanks and legs already.
(Real blacks are known to be born a little "dusty" or "rusty" colored, and come into their black coat after their first baby hairs get changed out.
Whereas roans, grays, etc. are born "bright colored" and then change into their final colors as their baby coats change out.)
Bred and born here at the ranch, we are proud to offer some of the soundest minds possible in the Quarter Horse world... we've worked with hundreds of horses, and these bloodlines have always blown us away with their "born bomb-proof" attitudes.
As close as you can get to an "accident proof" horse, these roans out of Rip Cord Flash lines have been baby sitters right away at first starting training... a couple months under saddle and we're comfortable letting elderly people and little kids ride them on trails. They are simply mentally solid right out of the gate, and as a family that has experienced it's share of horse wrecks, (and wants to call quits on getting hurt!) these personalities are amazing to us.
So we decided we needed to keep some of them around (blue mares!) and also wanted to be able to offer them to others to whom safety is a high priority!
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 have passed that "no buck, no spook, no kick" on to their colts, a real "do anything" disposition.
