Meet Duke, a striking sorrel overo Paint gelding with a copper coat, bold white markings, and bright blue eyes that catch attention everywhere he goes. But as beautiful as he is on the outside, it’s his gentle, honest, and willing heart that truly sets him apart.
For the past nine months, Duke has been under the careful, consistent guidance of a dedicated 12-year-old boy — and together they’ve done just about everything you can imagine. Their partnership reflects the kind of pony Duke is: trustworthy, steady, and always ready for the next adventure.
Duke has seen a wide variety of environments and handles each new place with calm curiosity. He trail rides to the creek, carrying fishing gear without complaint, and patiently ties to a tree while his young rider casts a few lines. He’s the type of pony who just waits, watches, and stays relaxed until asked to move on.
For fun, Duke and his rider head out to the pasture to push cows around, and his cattle work doesn’t end there. Duke has been used on the:
• Breakaway roping dummy
• Heeling dummy
• Arena roping
• Tracking and chasing cattle out of the box, even breakaway roping a few
He takes everything in stride — whether it’s a rope around him, the commotion of the arena, or a calf breaking from the chute. Duke keeps his mind quiet and stays connected to his rider. Even with a young rider practicing roping, he remains patient and steady, turning each session into a learning experience. He approaches every task with a willing attitude and a level mind.
Duke’s young friend even surprised him with his very own carriage, and Duke has begun learning to drive. True to his nature, he approaches harness work as he does everything else — slow, steady, and willing.
Duke is genuinely one of the kindest souls. He’s patient, gentle, and incredibly people-oriented. He enjoys attention, wants to be caught, wants to please, and is not the type to get flustered or reactive. His size makes him ideal for kids now and still usable for years to come.
With his disposition, training foundation, and size, Duke is on track to make an exceptional family pony. He’s the type that can help children — and even adults — learn to ride safely and confidently. Whether it’s trails, fun days, learning to rope, or simply being a trustworthy partner, he is ready for his next person.
