| Zorro Farms Geldings |
| Geldings are not commonly thought of as being "functional" on a breeding farm. However, they do serve a great purpose. |
| This is the little red roan guy that started it all. His conformation makes a real statement. It says "DON'T". I started in Quarter Horses several years ago, and was looking for one when this guy stuck his head out of a stall. He was thin, sick, and headed for the meat block. He came home with me on Thanksgiving 1989, and just happened to have MFTHBA papers. Well, they're like potato chips....you can't have just one. Ranger has a long back, wide chest, straight hocks.....on and on. But, he's a great weaning companion for the foals, and is unflappable under saddle. That makes him a great candidate for accompanying young ones under saddle. At age 27, he still enjoys galloping around, and running the others away from food. His primary function is a weanling babysitter. He can be found with weanlings gathered around him, rubbing on him, and even trying to nurse. His reaction......OUCH! He's wonderful, kind, sweet, and keeps the young ones safe He's also great for small ponying trips as they get older. It would take a very large bomb to get this guy spooked. |
