He claimed they used him as a charro horse. I don't know if that is true or not but all I know is he is super broke, calm, low headed and gentle. So if he was one, he must have been the exception to what the previous posters have said. Did he come off the border here in Texas?
Glad that hes got a forever home with you now, he looks like a wonderful guy, I saw your web paige and liked what I saw, hes a good looking dude, and you have a beautiful human family too  |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Southtxponygirl - 2015-05-28 3:41 PM Here is a few pictures of Jerry, I knew him when he first started out many many years ago, hes just awesome with his horses...
Jerry was one of my husband's clients until my husband retired from doing teeth. His horses were awesome to work on. His Fresian Stallion is so attached to Jerry that he can't be anywhere around him when Gary would work on him as he wanted to go with Jerry and would start marching in place.
As far as wanting one of his for a barrel horse...NO...They are very collected and can go no where in a bushel basket.

Location: Gainesville, TX | This, my friends, is a true Charro horse, a bridle horse ridden in a spade used as a signal bit and not a curb.

I think Jerry is one of the best and true Charros out there... How cool that Gary used to do his horses. Jerry shows so much horsemanship and love for his horses.  |

His wife, Stacey, is also amazing.
It was quite interesting when Gary did his horses as I always hold them and I'm a real touchy, feely person with a horse and his horses have so many buttons I couldn't touch them as they had all kinds of buttons for their tricks..LOL

Location: SE Louisiana | cyount2009 - 2015-05-28 4:42 PM Just like in any discipline, there are good Charro trainers and then there are bad ones. American riders tend to discredit the true Charro because we seem to see a lot of bad horses turned out by bad "trainers". I guess the same could be said true for barrel horses right? There are a lot of people in other disciplines that think all barrel horses are crazy lunatics that are unbroke and only know how to runaway in a semi-controlled manner. Good Charro trainers are hard to find but they do exist. If the horse is what you want and he rides good I wouldn't hesitate buying him.
Actually I believe this to be true.... But the people riding them have such good horsemanship skills, (Or they are just as crazy)... they never notice. |

I don't think that horse looked at all like a highly trained Grande Prix dressage horse, jmo:) |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I think it's a similar frame though this horse is a bit more on the forehand. This one doesn't have as much knee action but certainly is very responsive to leg and seat. |
