CUERVO

CUERVO – 2020 GRADE Mustang Bay Gelding
Cuervo is a 6-year-old bay mustang gelding standing at 14.1 hands, with a stocky build and eye-catching chrome markings that add to his charm. He’s got a bit of a nervous streak on the ground—he’s easily spooked and very aware of people on the ground. Cuervo needs a calm, experienced handler who can approach and be around him gently and confidently while building his trust. But once you’re in the saddle, Cuervo shines like a star and is my favorite horse to ride at the barn! He’s incredibly smart, quick, and athletic—one of those rare horses that can really wow you with his skills. He’s free lunged over fences as high as 4’6” with ease, showing impressive power and grace. His agility is off the charts; he can dig a hole in the ground, sidepass smoothly at all gaits (walk, jog, and lope), and turn faster on the rail than many cutters you’ll see out there. Cuervo LOVES to work, he is up for whatever job you throw at him and has a TON of miles out on the ranch. He is the go to- go get em guy!
Cuervo also has an auto lead change and can even perform six flying lead changes straight down the center line and stop instantly off of your seat. On top of all that, he’s got a finished neck rein and responds beautifully to leg cues, making him a true pleasure to ride. He’s also seasoned on the trail, unfazed by bikes, runners, and even the chaos of downtown traffic. Bridges, lakes, rivers, tunnels—you name it, Cuervo’s crossed or gone through it without hesitation. The only real challenge with Cuervo is his nervousness on the ground, but if that wasn’t a factor, he’d be perfect even for the smallest riders, the more we work with him the better he gets and we truly believe with a forever person he will learn confidence on the ground as well. He’s genuinely a cool horse to ride and would be #1 on my list to keep if I had an extra spot for a personal horse. Come check him out and feel free to watch his video or get in touch with any further questions! He has an absolutely incredible and detailed video showcasing how talented this guy is.
