Well bred intelligent paint gelding

Mika Western Gunner is a curious, happy and confident two and a half year old paint quarterhorse gelding. He was recently put under saddle after extensive preparation and groundwork with professional trainers and at home over the last 12 months. Mika shows a willing attitude and has the ability to learn quickly. He enjoys any challenge that you present to him.  With his athletic build and pedigree, he would be well suited to western discipline sports and trail riding. His mother, my horse, was originally a reiner and was a very skilled competitor in competitive trail riding and obstacle sport events.

We are selling Mika as we are downsizing our acreage property and being now in our 70's are scaling back in our riding activities.

Ties up well
