Murphy

Murphy is a 2019 AQHA gelding standing 14.3 hands — a seasoned trail and ranch horse with real-world cattle experience. He was born and raised on a large Wyoming cattle operation, where he spent his working life doing the job the right way. Horses with this kind of background and handling are becoming increasingly rare. His pedigree features Paddys Irish Whiskey and Playgun — breeding that gives him both cow sense and the mind to back it up. Murphy has been used extensively for ranch work including dragging calves to the fire, sorting pairs, loading bulls, and working gates. He transitions just as easily to a quiet trail ride, dropping his head and cruising along without fuss. On the trail, Murphy is rock-solid. He is not buddy sour or barn sour and will go out alone or in a group without issue. He is comfortable in the lead or following, crosses water, bridges, and logs without hesitation, and handles steep hills, rough terrain, traffic, and trains. He is the kind of horse you can point in any direction with confidence. Murphy ties all day, loads and hauls without drama, and is gentle and kind with no silly behavior. He is easy to manage in a stall or out on pasture and gets along well with other horses. He sells 100% sound with a pre-sale vet statement and a full set of clean radiographs on file. He is current on vaccines, dental, and coggins, with AQHA papers in hand. Murphy is barefoot, big-footed, thick-boned, and stout enough to pack 250 pounds comfortably.
