We are honored to introduce the absolute coolest and most UNIQUE horse we have EVER had the opportunity to call our own. Sully is a 12 year old, true blue roan full Brabant gelding who stands 17 hands tall with a mane and tail most horses couldn’t dream of! He is absolutely the definition of a gentle giant. Giant being the key word! If you look up enormous in the dictionary, you’ll find a photo of Sully himself! We have had Sully for many years now, and if you keep an eye on us online at all, you will know that he has quite the following of people who love him just as much as we do! Rest assured, you will be the talk of any event you take him to and people will stop in their tracks just to have a look at this handsome gelding! He has been known to stop traffic for a photo op when he’s spotted out on pasture in the summer because he definitely stands out in a crowd!

Sully has been ridden in the rain, snow, and sunshine and rides the exact same be it January or June. While he isn’t a fancy reiner or an agile cutter, but he IS the type that you can wipe the snow off his back, crawl on, and go for a nice, quiet ride with. We have ridden him on the trails, through town a handful of times, and hauled him to several of the neighboring ranches to gather pastures and move cows on him and he has always been a joy to ride. He is the one everyone clamors to ride when they visit and he is happy to oblige!

While we have had him quite a long time, he hasn’t had the miles most of our horses have, simply because he’s a Mack truck and it takes more of a dune buggy to maneuver these hills and still have horsepower left by noon. He’s built for feed, not speed, and is much more keen to enjoy the leisurely side of riding. That said, Sully has a nice handle for the riding he has had! He’s one we can grab off pasture, throw a saddle on, or hop on bareback for that matter, and turn a newbie loose with just to mosey around the arena.

He is nice and soft in the bridle, respects your seat and legs, moves off of pressure, and absolutely floats when he moves. For his size, you would think he was rough and cumbersome but he is honestly one of the smoothest horses you will swing a leg over! He will go to his new home with his very own custom made headstall, custom made bit, and reins so he is ready to ride when he arrives!

Sully has primarily been ridden with a buddy horse and does very well with a friend to meander down the trails with. I would not call him buddy bound, but as with most horses, he is much more comfortable with some company on your ride. He can definitely be ridden independently as well! He just takes a little more steering to coax him off on his own. I would not hesitate to use him to pony your littles down the trail or lead behind your horse in the pasture. He can fit half a preschool class on his back so he’d make a stellar horse if you have multiple kids and too few horses to mount everyone!

He would also fit a beginner rider who is already riding solo and knows how to steer right and left as Sully does quite well with a direct rein for the less savvy riders. He hasn’t quite perfected his neck reining 100% of the time, so it is helpful if you are able to guide him around a little now and then. His favorite speed is slow and steady. He will give you ample opportunity to take in the sights on your ride and doesn’t get in a hurry about much aside from getting to the front of the line when you hand out treats!

An added bonus? Sully does not require stocks to be trimmed. We trim him ourselves and he is kind, polite, and patient and was a breeze to trim, even with me being 31 weeks pregnant and needing ample breaks between each foot! He stands quiet as a church mouse and will lift each foot for you to trim. He is one of the very few draft horses you can trim without the use of stocks or a tilt table, so your farrier will thank you!

A horse like Sully is truly the definition of once in a lifetime. You simply will not find another like him. This will be one of the hardest horses we have ever had the bitter sweet pleasure of finding a forever home for, but we have finally admitted that he deserves to be more than a fun photo op or sporadic weekend trail ride. He is ready to be someone else’s pride and joy and we are pleased to offer him to you through HorseBid.com!

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have or to schedule a time to come take him for a spin! He means a LOT to us, so we would love to meet any potential new families looking to bring him home!
