Hippie

Hippie is a grade quarter pony, standing at 12.2 HH. He is as wide as most of the big horses weighing over 750 lbs. Hippie is a 10 year old sorrel gelding with lots of chrome. He comes complete with 4 white socks, a blaze face, and lots of roan and white all over his body. His markings are second to none. Hippie’s mane and tail are as thick as they come; with a tail that is twice as thick as most and almost touches the ground. Hippie has been rode all over the Rocky Mountains hunting black bears and mountain lions. He is sure footed through rocky and thick terrain, and a safe mount on the trails. He doesn’t mind any of the dogs at his feet! Hippie has been started in the following rodeo events: goats, breakaway, barrels, poles, and team roping on the heel side! He is also the best partner on the ranch dragging calves to the fire! Easton Zeldenthuis is 11 years old, and has owned Hippie for 3 years. Easton has put many hours in the arena and in the mountains on Hippie. Easton has been his sole horse trainer for the duration he has owned him! Easton’s little sister, 7 years old, can ride Hippie without any trouble! He is safe for any level of rider but is best suited for a punchy kid that wants to go to work with his parents on the ranch, because he is just too dang handy to go to waste. This pony can go absolutely all day long and never quit. A 12 hour work day is no strange job for Hippie. He is confident out in the lead or following. Easton has led many pack strings out of the Colorado high country with Hippie. He shoes great, loads easy, crosses logs and water with ease and picks his way through the nasty stuff safely. He is truly a one in a million-type pony. He is not a typical lead line, toodle around the house type pony; he is made and put together to do a job. Your little buckaroo can drag 100 calves to the fire a day with him if you so wish. He is big and stout enough for a small adult to ride and is built to last a lifetime. This type of ranch pony doesn’t come along often. We cannot say enough good things about Hippie, and will truly be sad to see this one go. Nonetheless, it will be nice to see him move forward to take care of his next cowboy or cowgirl. For questions or more info, please call Easton Zeldenthuis at 970-234-3282.
