Sly

Sly is a 2018 AQHA sorrel gelding standing a solid, well-balanced 15 hands tall. This handsome gelding combines world-class bloodlines, a show-ready education, and the kind of personality that makes him an instant barn favorite. 🏆 PEDIGREE: Sly is royally bred, being sired by the legendary Conquistador Whiz, the 2-million-dollar sire celebrated for his signature big stops and back-to-back NRBC and NRHA Derby championships. His grandsire, Topsail Whiz, is one of the most iconic sires in reining history, boasting over $12 million in offspring earnings and $57,000 in NRHA earnings himself. On the dam side, Sly Dun Jewel is by none other than Hollywood Dun It—a record-breaking reining legend with over $65,000 in NRHA earnings and a staggering $7.7 million in progeny earnings. With a pedigree like this, Sly carries the genetics of greatness! 🎯 SHOW EXPERIENCE: Sly is a natural in the show pen—steady, confident, and easy to prepare. He’s been successfully shown in reining, ranch rail, and ranch trail, and is the kind of horse that doesn’t need a trainer to keep him tuned. He’s incredibly user-friendly and the perfect horse for someone wanting to learn to ride or show a true reiner. Sly has an easy, rhythmic jog, a smooth and consistent lope, automatic lead changes, a correct turnaround, and a big, easy stop—all on a loose rein. Ride him once a week or once a month—he’s always the same solid partner every time you saddle up. 🌿 TRAIL EXPERIENCE: Sly is just as fun outside the arena as he is in it! He loves to trail ride and is absolutely fearless—whether it’s going down the road, through the woods, or taking a swim in the river. He crosses water, handles steep hills with balance and care, and rides out alone or in a group with equal confidence. Traffic, dogs, wildlife—nothing phases this steady gelding. He’s the same horse anywhere you take him. 🦄 ENGLISH EXPERIENCE: This versatile gelding also rides beautifully English! He carries himself naturally in a relaxed frame, making him a smooth and stylish partner over fences. Sly easily pops over small jumps with cute form and confidence, showing plenty of potential for low-level hunter or equitation classes. His willing attitude and trainable mind make him the kind of horse you can truly enjoy in any discipline. 💖 DISPOSITION: Sly is one of the sweetest, kindest horses you’ll ever meet. He loves people and greets you at the gate every time—head low, ready for his halter. He enjoys attention, kisses, and ear scratches, and his gentle, forgiving nature makes him a perfect fit for riders of all experience levels. He’s patient, tolerant, and never gets rattled by rider mistakes—he truly takes care of his person. Whether you’re looking for a dependable family horse, a solid lesson horse, or a personal show partner, Sly will exceed expectations. 🧼 UPKEEP & MANNERS: Sly is as easy to care for as he is to love. He’s UTD on all care, good for the farrier (goes in shoes or barefoot), and stands quietly for grooming, bathing, saddling, and mounting. He loads and hauls like a pro, and stands tied at the trailer without a fuss. He’s polite, respectful on the ground, and happy in either single or group turnout. If you’ve been searching for a truly special, all-around gelding—beautiful, talented, and kind—Sly is the one. He’s the complete package: world-class breeding, impeccable training, and the best personality you could ask for. ✨ Sly is the kind of horse dreams are made of—safe, sound, stunning, and absolutely one of a kind.
