Deacon Blue is a jaw dropping 3yr old, 15.2hh, bay roan gelding by VS Code Blue and out of a producing daughter of Gotta Get Tuff (full sibling to A Sudden Impulse). Pedigree aside, with his looks, demeanor, and ability; Deacon has absolutely everything going for him to be the next superstar in your lineup. Whether you’re wanting to hit the show pen or just looking for your next up and comer to enjoy at home, this good looking gelding is ready to step up to the plate. 

 

Deacon was started in a pleasure program slowly and correctly the beginning of his 2yr old year and then he was transitioned to more of the ranch versatility side of things. All of Deacon’s gaits are smooth and comfortable to ride with an untapped cadence that will surely have everyone drooling that watches him go around. He is soft in his face, his transitions are smooth, and he retains things you teach him well. There is very rarely a day you have to show this gelding something twice as Deacon has a pleasing attitude and all of the ability. Deacon has been ridden both western and english and has been introduced to going over fences. Over fences, Deacon is bold and shows all of the traits that he would not only enjoy doing it but be successful at it. This gelding could be a fantastic show horse no matter the direction you’re wanting to go; pleasure, ranch riding, trail, hunter under saddle; Deacon has the physical ability but most importantly the mind to do it all. If the show pen isn’t your thing, Deacon could easily be turned into the best leisurely riding and trail riding partner one could ask for. Yes he has everything going for him to be a fantastic performance horse, but most importantly Deacon has the mind to do and be whatever you choose to mold him into. Deacon has been ridden outside an extensive amount of time compared to most bred like him and he’s shown to love it just as much as going around fancily. While Deacon has been with us, we’ve exposed him to all kinds of obstacles and situations to help shape him into the well rounded and versatile gentleman he aspires to be. He hauls off property, both with buddies and without, with zero issues, rides the same in an indoor arena as he does out in an open pasture, and takes everything right in stride. Deacon is perfectly fine with both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, has been around heavy equipment and could've cared less about it, and he's been introduced to all types of animals from dogs to goats to alpacas and he wants to be friends with all. Deacon has gone through all of the desensitization steps a youngster should and did it all with no troubles and just complete curiosity. Bridges, flags, tarps, etc.. all of the obstacles he worked through brilliantly and never made a single one a big deal. Not only has he tackled the typical obstacles for a horse, but he's also been loaded onto a flatbed trailer just for funsies and proved that he truly is a horse that's up for whatever you want to show him.

​

On the ground, Deacon is a perfect gentleman for all daily handling. He loves his grooming time, will stand still for bathing, and your farrier will love him too. You can saddle Deacon tied, cross tied, or ground tied, and he will stand patiently for bridling and mounting as well. Deacon has always hauled with no issues and is ready to load up and unload anytime. He is also an absolute ham for attention; scratches are his favorite and he is especially found of and curious about kids. To just be around and spend time with Deacon is to love him as his personality is that of a teddy bear. He is an extremely kind and loving gelding that just wants to please and be around you. Deacon is UTD on all routine care, has no previous health or soundness issues and has no scars or blemishes. This would be the perfect DIY horse for an amateur or knowledgeable youth rider that’s looking for their next all around mount that can be enjoyed both in the arena and out or an absolute perfect horse for someone looking for a good minded youngster with the potential to be turned into their next forever-do it all mount.
