If you’re looking for a gelding that can step into the show pen one day and carry your child on a trail ride the next, meet Berry. With over $10,000 in reining earnings, a saddle winner in ranch riding, miles spent out on the trails and a temperament as golden as they come, Berry is the kind of horse that’s becoming harder and harder to find. He’s the perfect mix of show horse polish and family horse heart, wrapped up in a soft-eyed, eager-to-please partner who always greets you with his ears forward and a look that says, “What are we doing today?”
Berry has all the finesse and handle you’d expect from a horse of his caliber. He’s been trained and shown in reining, with stylish spins, deep, correct stops, clean lead changes, and a gorgeous way of moving. He knows his job and performs with quiet confidence. His movement is fluid and balanced, with a soft face and easy cadence that makes him a pleasure to ride every time you swing a leg over.
He’s also competed in ranch riding, where he’s shown just how naturally versatile he is. With his smooth transitions, relaxed but attentive demeanor, and gentle willingness to go wherever he's asked, Berry is the kind of horse that makes everyone in the family feel confident and comfortable in the saddle. He’s also been exposed to cattle and has worked the flag—another example of his can-do attitude and trainability.
Whether you’re looking to keep showing in reining, the ranch riding, ease into ranch versatility, or just want a broke, classy horse to enjoy at home, Berry offers a solid, proven foundation with the versatility to take in any direction.
Where Berry really sets himself apart is in his mind. He is rock solid outside the arena—steady, dependable, and completely trustworthy. He’s been exposed to every kind of terrain and obstacle you can think of, from rocky trails and water crossings to bridges, logs, and open pasture riding. He’s the kind of horse who doesn’t overthink or overreact—he simply listens and waits for your next cue.
He’ll ride out alone or with a group, lead or follow, and never loses his cool. His smooth, easy jog and rocking horse lope make him just as enjoyable on a slow trail ride as he is under the lights of a show pen. He rides quiet on a loose rein, picks up right where you left off, and always brings a calm, relaxed energy to every ride.
But maybe the best part of Berry is who he is on the ground. He’s got the kind of soft, people-loving personality that makes you look forward to going to the barn. He genuinely enjoys attention, will follow you around like a big dog, and is great with kids, beginners, or anyone just learning the ropes. His ears are always forward, curious and engaged, and he meets every new task or environment with calm curiosity rather than concern.
He is patient, safe, and as steady as they come, making him an ideal partner for riders of all ages and experience levels.
Berry is sired by Wimpys Red Berry who is by the legendary 13 million dollar sire, Wimpys Little Step! Berry’s dam, SLJ Smartlikewhinny, is a daughter of the 4 million dollar reining sire, Smart Like Juice, and out of a million dollar producing dam, Wind Her Up Shiner. SLJ Smartlikewhinny was a great show horse who won $50k in the reining pen, then went on to produce offspring earning over $174k in NRHA earnings.
Berry is a rare find—a trained, talented show horse with the brain and kindness to be your family’s safest ride, your competitive partner, or your daily joy. He is the kind of horse you can ride everyday, or give him two weeks off, jump on and go. If you’re looking for a horse you can trust, love, and enjoy in every setting, don’t let this one pass you by.
