Horses

Turbo is a handsome seven-year-old AQHA gelding. He’s a fabulous trail horse and has all the ingredients to become a great ranch versatility horse. He has personality, athletic ability, and is eager to please. He is not a kid's horse though, because he isn't finished yet.

I bought Turbo when he was five years old and he had only about 90 days of riding on him.

I rode him on and off throughout 2025. Then, in October, my good horse stepped in a gopher hole the day before the Top Hand Cowgirl Challenge (one cowgirl, one horse, five events). I was already entered in the Everyday Cowgirl Clinic, the Master Class Clinic, and the Challenge itself.

So I marched out to the pasture and hollered at Turbo, "You're up, Dude.” This was his very first trip to town. He had seen cattle at home, but he'd never been around 60 other horses. He'd never seen a trail course in an indoor arena under bright lights. He'd been around barrels in our arena, but never with loud music and a crowd in the stands.

We didn't place, but Turbo handled it all like a champ. I don’t think Turbo would place in a ranch conformation class due to a birth defect on his left hindquarter. It does not affect him in any way, and you can't see it unless you're specifically looking for it under his tail.

He has been barefoot his whole life, no vices, no maintenance, and never bucked or bolted with me on him. He rides out well alone, doesn't crib, and is easy to catch. In fact, he comes when called and does tricks on command. He will paw when tied to the fence, patience is not his strong suit. He loves people and wants to be part of whatever you're doing. If he could talk, he would say, “Me! Me! Pick me!”

He is current on vaccinations, dental care, and hoof trimming. He has never worn shoes.
