This big, strong, solid bay gelding stands 15'3. Stryder had a nice quiet start by a professional trainer as a two yr old after which he got the rest of the year off. He then went to work in a feed lot as a three yr old. At four, Stryder was schooled as a Hunter and out on the trail. He lives up to his barn name with big strong sweeping strides that really cover ground. Stryder has a strong back, big lope and picks up his leads well. He's been ridden indoors and out and works off leg aids. Started on basic trail work including ground poles, bridges, crosses water and can be mounted from either side easily. He is relaxed around cattle from his work at the feed lot and not timid, nor aggressive towards them. He is not at all spooky and adapts willingly to new situations. Stryder tolerates inconsistency and is generally compliant. He could make a good school horse.

He is good with his feet, clips, bathes and loads well. He is easy to manage and gets along easily with other horses and loves people. He is always looking for attention and wants to go to work.

The sire lines are primarily Reining and Pleasure while the bottom of the pedigree is mostly Snaffle Bit and Gymkhana. With his looks, size, speed and disposition, this gelding will turn heads whatever he's doing and his pedigree says he should do it all well. Deluxe rope or ranch horse prospect that can go into the Hunter/Jumper ring, all in the same day!

Stryder has found his dream home with the Jesse Bjornsen and his family in Champion, Alberta.
