Patriot

Patriot is a stout, eye-catching bay and white tobiano AQHA/Paint-type gelding, foaled January 2021, standing 14-14.1hh and around 1,100 lbs. He is consigned to the Best of the West Horse Sale in Gladstone, NJ on September 25-26, with a $15,000 starting bid; he can also be previewed or ridden ahead of time in Mt. Vernon, KY. The listing describes him as a versatile, level-headed ranch and trail horse used for branding, checking cattle, and crossing rough terrain, with a smooth slow lope, good stop, and reining both ways. He's said to be sure-footed, easy to load, rides alone or in company, and has been ridden safely by all ages, with photos also showing him being ridden over small jumps and working around cattle.
