IB LIL WHISKEY POCO
A horse like this is unmatched in quality, and C Fork Horses is proud to offer this gelding to the public! The jack of all trades, Spade! IB LIL WHISKEY POCO is a 2019 AQHA Gelding with chrome adorning his body, and gorgeous blue eyes to match. At the ideal height of 15.1 hands and 1250 pounds, this horse packs thick bone, sturdy feet and plenty of shape. You won’t find many like him. Spade is by a son of PADDYS IRISH WHISKEY who has earned respect as a consistent sire of both class and high-end trainability for all walks of the reining and cow horse worlds, siring champions in versatility ranch horse, reined cow horse, cutting, reining, calf roping and team roping. His dam is one of the greats as well! I have ridden many of the COLONEL DUNSINAY offspring and they have been very handy to have around. You won’t want to let Spade go once you have him in your barn! He has been one of the easiest, most laid back, fun horses we have ever had. You can count on him to do anything you ask with confidence and class. Spade is simple to ride and easy to get along with – he has an excellent neck rein, smooth lead departures, and fun stops! He moves with tremendous style and cadence. I purchased Spade as a weanling and he has been through all phases of our program, and he has been an asset to several others. Many great horsemen have had a hand in making him the outstanding individual he is today. Spade has spent time in the panhandle at the feed yard, as well as being used daily on a ranch in Southern Arizona. He has helped gather, doctor, sort pairs, catch strays, and has drug more than his share to the fire. This horse has done everything on a working ranch you can think of. Not only does he check all the boxes as a ranch horse, but he is an impressive rope horse as well. Spade has been started on the head side in the arena and has already demonstrated his desire to be “Mr. Consistent”, making the same trip every time. In the rocks, Spade is surefooted and crosses anything. We’ve hauled him all across the southwest to trail ride at different state parks – Big bend, Marfa, Ruidoso NM, Phoenix AZ & so on… You’ll never see him waver when crossing water or climbing steep embankments. Spade is just as civilized riding through town as in the country. Traffic, pedestrians, bikes, dogs, loud noises and all the commotion of a busy city don’t bother this guy one bit. He’s safe for beginners and easy for the kids to ride and get along with. It doesn’t matter what direction you choose, you’re ready to roll with spade! Spade is located at C Fork Horses in Stephenville, TX & we’d love for you to come meet him! If you have questions please contact Cheyenne Thompson at 480-907-8516.
