Rico is a really nice registered strawberry roan gelding. He is absolutely gentle and will suit a lot of people. He rides around civilized and dead quiet. This guy has been on our place the last year so we know everything about him.
He’s been used on the ranch to gather and pen cows. You can prowl pastures on him.... (read more) You can push cattle up the alley and load trucks on him. Or send grandpa out on him to spend the day riding fence lines. He’s also been ridden by youth riders when they were at the ranch. He will walk out on a loose rein all day long. He’s been hauled to several different ranches to work cattle.
Rico is a great trail horse as well. He’s solid and confident on the trails. He will ride though brush and trees. He will go up and down hills easily. He goes through water without an issue. He will cross a bridge. He has been ridden out alone a lot but has also been ridden in a group. He has been on a couple of huge organized week long rides with chuck wagons and hundreds of riders. He has been ridden down the road and isn’t bothered by cars going by. He’s been ridden around ATV’s, joggers, dogs, bicycles, tractors and our horse drawn buggies and never bats an eye at any of it.
Rico is prime age to make a fantastic performance horse. You could make him a ranch riding and ranch trail show horse easily. He really likes tracking a cow and has had a few roped and steer stopped on him. He will make a great rope horse if you wanted to continue in that direction. Or you could even take him the barrel racing route if that’s your thing. The sky is the limit on a horse like him because he is the perfect age, has an awesome mind, is very gentle, is a great size for lots of people and has the athletic ability to do anything you want to.
Rico has impeccable cowboy manners and stands well for the farrier. He has great stall manners. He tacks up quietly. He ties and cross ties. He loads and unloads like a gentleman. He’s an awesome young horse that’s ready to do whatever his new owner wants him to.
Sliding K Performance Horses
The SLIDING K has been active in the reining horse industry for over 35 years. We strongly believed in giving the two year olds we started a solid foundation on which they start their reining or desired careers of which they took successfully. We took the extra time to ensure our young stars were started quietly and correctly before they moved into the demanding training program required for a reiner or their desired careers....

NOW, here at SLIDING K we are here to help YOU! We still do offer selling not only reining, but trail riding, ranch riding, roping, cattle work, Ranch Trail and much more as well as lessons, teaching you and your horse how to unit together as one! No matter what you do as a discipline with your horse.
Throughout the years, we have been privileged to build many fine teams of riders and horses by matching the horses we sell with the correct owners-riders or riders-owners with the correct horses. We took special care and personal interest in assisting our amateur horse people and non-pro riders with finding the best Non-pro, Ranch Riding, Roping, and above all, great Trail Riding prospect (as all horses should be able to be enjoyed out of the arena as well), available that match the abilities and needs of both the horse and the rider. Fitting for many years over 150 matches a year.
Our other SERVICES we offer ARE: counseling over phone, FB PM, Text or email, even with video, of any problems you may have with your horse. Also setting you up with shot, worming, showing or feeding programs your horses should be on given your environment and locations. Along with equipment you may need to handle or ride your horse with, given your discipline choice of riding! Really just anything you need help with we are here for you! Many of our customers have been with us since we first started training reiners more than 3 decades ago.
