CONTINENTAL TRAVEL
2009 Bay Dun Stallion AQHA/FQHA
'Gunner' has been with me since 2010. I originally purchased him to geld, train and resell. After just one week of working with him, I knew I had something special! Gunner has the biggest heart to match those giant doe eyes. He puts his whole heart into whatever you are asking. He's extremely loyal and to this day, has never offered to buck. He was literally the born broke type of horse. Not only does he have an amazing mind and kind heart, but he is also extremely athletic and has amazing cow sense.
His sire, Poco Dakota Cowboy, is a true foundation bred cowboy type ranch horse. He was the kind that worked all day on the ranch and then head out and compete at the local rodeos. His dam is a daughter of King Cutter Jim, who was the sire to many roping horses in MN.
Gunner himself was also used for heading in a few jackpots. We use Gunner whenever we need a horse to work cattle. He's so extremely smooth to ride and is extremely sure footed! He has sired many barrel, rope, ranch, and even some mountain horses!
