Rip Cat Moonshine

Rip is a  6 year old AQHA gelding standing 14.3 hands tall. Built correct, short coupled, and fit, he’s as easy on the eyes as he is to ride. This guy is the total package: athletic, gentle, and well broke. He also rides English, jumps a small course, and is putting together dressage tests.

 

He’s been worked on the ranch and knows all the jobs — from gathering and sorting to roping and dragging calves. We’ve heeled on him a little bit as well. He rides off soft and collected with a nice one handed neck rein. He moves with a smooth, rocking horse lope, he’s a fun and easy horse to ride. Anyone can enjoy him, he’s athletic enough for any job - yet safe for any rider. 

 

Rip shines on the trails. He’s confident out alone or in a group, and doesn’t get flustered by new terrain, water crossings, wildlife, or steep hills. He’s sure footed and careful. Whether you’re headed out for a relaxing weekend ride or a full day in the mountains, Rip stays calm, willing, and steady under saddle.

 

Rip has excellent ground manners and a sweet, people loving personality. He stands quietly for saddling, bathing, farrier work, and loads with no trouble. You can crawl all over him — he genuinely enjoys attention and aims to please.

 

If you’re looking for a versatile gelding with real-world experience, a kind heart, and a great handle — Rip is your guy.
