Meet Takoda! Takoda is a Native American name meaning a friend to everyone which describes this special gelding perfectly. Takoda is exactly the kind of horse people dream about owning and the chance only comes once in a lifetime. Takoda is a 5-year-old Gypsy Cross Gelding, that stands 15.1H. He’s America’s favorite color, Buckskin – which also makes him extremely unique being a Gypsy Vanner. Takoda is by a foundation Quarter Horse Stallion that goes back to FRECKLES PLAYBOY and REAL GUN, and out of a Gypsy Vanner Mare. Takoda is very striking with his flawless looks, correct conformation, and absolutely beautiful mane and tail! His looks, combined with his friendly demeanor, make him a hit everywhere he goes.

He has been on several overnight trail rides across the country and loves seeing new sights. Takoda loves to ride out alone, but also enjoys riding with a group. Takoda rides just as good outside the arena, as he does in the arena. He’s talented under saddle and rides both Western and English. He has a great handle; one handed neck rein, picks up his leads, side passes, spins, collects, stops off your seat, lopes off in his tracks, and will absolutely go anywhere you point him. His gaits and transitions are so smooth! Takoda knows tricks too! He will lay down and sit on command. He picks up every ride just the way you left him.
