Additional Comments

Ride The Wild Waves, affectionately known by all as Surfer, is a sorrel frame Quarter Pony gelding. Foaled in 2015, Surfer's sire is our Quarter Horse stallion; his dam is a large Shetland pony mare.

As a youngster, Surfer was shown as a National Sport Performance Pony, which is a division of the Shetland Pony Club for half Shetlands. While he did quite well in Walk-Trot and Pleasure Driving, his motor was always a bit too big for pleasure classes.... (read more)

Surfer found his calling chasing calves, which he LOVES. His last two years have been spent mostly Team Roping and general ranch work.

Surfer is a talented heeling horse and has been in the money a number of times in local jackpots. He also does a nice job at heading. At 1000 pounds, he has enough weight to head and turn most calves. He is very cow-y and has lots of desire to work, but is quiet and well mannered in the roping box. Back at the ranch, Surfer has been ponying young colts and dragging out logs for firewood.

At 13.3 hands, Surfer is the perfect size for high school rodeo and would make an excellent all around youth horse. He is very well trained to ride. He neck reins, responds to leg pressures, is accustomed to spurs and has all the usual “big horse” buttons. That said, he is probably not for a very beginning rider as he has a big Quarter Horse motor with more Go than Whoa. Surfer has many admirers among the local roping community. Please ask for references if interested.

Surfer finished in the top four heeling at the local jackpot on 4-13-2024,
