Midnights Skoal Bandit

Price: $6,500

Midnight’s Skoal Bandit (AKA Bandit) is a 15.2hh, 6 yr old, Sorrel Tobiano Gelding. He is a registered Pleasure Saddle Horse and has a good pedigree. I have known Bandit sense he was just a yearling as a local family raised him back in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Bandit grew up with a family that had 40 chickens, 10 dogs, and 5 kids, to say the least there wasn’t ever a dull moment around the farm! Even as a young horse he was one that never resisted anything, was eager to please and always acted like he was an old horse. I have trail rode many miles with Bandit over the last few years, in which most of the time he was ridden double by a lady and her youngest son. While a lot of kids like to come home after school and play basketball or ride their bicycles, Bandit would take the kids for a ride, not around the house, but they would head out, right down the highway and ride for hours alone! Their Dad said not to worry because Bandit knows he is hauling precious cargo! Not only did the mother and kids ride Bandit but Grandpa and his bad knees also rode him and Grandpa taught him to park out. Grandpa would step Bandit off in a ditch, walk him up to a large rock, or lead him up to the tail gate of a pickup truck and then park him out just so that he could get on. I have saw Bandit win over 30 ribbons at local shows while being shown by the younger kids, they would also ride him around the show grounds with as many as 4 at a time stacked on Bandit. He has been on trail rides all over Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and up into Indiana a couple times. Bandit has pretty much done it all and saw it all! Bandit is easy to catch, clip, bath, tack-up, load, and handle. Bandit is safe for most beginners to ride. He will flatfoot walk and moves out easily. He has a natural runwalking gait with a great head nod and a nice Racking gait up to 14mph!!! He also has a nice canter and a good trail neckrein. Bandit has had 2 months of professional gaiting, trail and bombproof training. He has been ridden around farm equipment, ATV’s, over large noisy tarps and has also had guns shot off of his back. Just like everything we say about our horses, we have the videos to prove it, make sure to take a look at those on our website. No matter where he goes or what he does, Bandit is not spooky acting. On the trails he is always great! Bandit has been exposed to all kinds of wildlife such as deer or turkey or other animals like cows or dogs and will go anywhere that he is asked too. He has been rode many miles in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and encountered every obstacle possible on the trail. He will go up or down even the steepest slopes, across deep creeks, over downed trees, and over all types of rough terrain while still being sure footed. He has been rode in traffic, and is very traffic safe around cars, semi, log, and dump trucks. He has a great personality and a great attitude about whatever he is asked to do. Anytime is a good time for a Skoal Bandit!!! Feel free to call me with any questions.
