2007 buckskin Quarter Horse geldingFort Bragg, CARuss Papke
Frenchman Sakem, barn name Jessie, is a 20-year-old buckskin AQHA gelding (unregistered per the listing) standing 16 hands and weighing about 1,100 pounds, located in Fort Bragg, California. He has a genuinely varied working history: barrel racing, leading pack strings and packing elk/deer, working cattle at feedlots, sorting, being roped off of, and leading guest rides on the beach and through the redwoods. The seller describes him as athletic, forward, hard to tire, and a horse that thrives on having a job; he catches easily, stands for the farrier, and hauls well, but is explicitly not suited for beginners and needs a confident, experienced rider who wants a horse with a lot of motor. He has a longstanding foggy eye with reduced vision on that side that hasn't limited his work. Asking $3,500 OBO. The photo shows him cantering freely in an arena, looking sound and in good weight with a bright, alert expression.
Has a foggy eye with reduced vision on that side, a longstanding condition present when the seller acquired him; it has not affected his ability to work.
