Taquito; truly a unicorn wrapped into a 13 hand paint gelding. This boy has been there done that on the ranch- keeping up with the big Horses the entire time.. Taquito is handy as they come; great as a daily using tool or an overall fun uncomplicated ride for the kiddos !! Taquito does it all; barrel poles, lessons, rides on trails, & through traffic without a fuss!! This boy does what’s asked of him with ease and isn’t buddy sour. Taquito has been rode by all ages, but I would call him more of a forward type Pony. he’s absolutely bombproof on the ground; my 2yr old, brushes him, picks up his feet, and catches him with ease. Currently being used as a lead line pony and he’s respectful going the speed asked of him when standing on either side of his body. I think this guy would suit a therapy program amazing!!! Taquito is a very sensible Pony, isn’t spooked at tarps, flags dogs, or anything out of the ordinary. He truly is a one-of-a-kind Pony. Broke like a big horse in the saddle, but gentle like a puppy dog on the ground!!! Up-to-date on shots, worming farrier work( currently barefoot) no maintenance, and has a current negative coggins!

Cowboy n Cowtown — The bay Gelding that gets noticed everywhere he goes.
Some horses look good in pictures.
Cowboy looks good in person, on video, and under saddle.
AQHA registered, 5yr old (2021 model), and standing 14.3 hands of clean bay with the perfect amount of chrome and a balanced, athletic build. He has that timeless ranch shape: strong hip, good shoulder, plenty of bone, and a smart, level expression. He is the kind that stands out in a group without trying.
He’s been ridden out in the kind of country that makes a good, honest horse — through rocks and brush, across creek bottoms and water, up and down steep hills, and out around wildlife, ranch vehicles, and everyday road traffic. Tarps moving, flags flying, bridges, gates, tires, poles — he meets everything with steady curiosity. Horses ridden like this don’t have to be convinced to go somewhere; they’re ready to step in and get to work.
In the arena, he rides with feel and purpose. Soft transitions, correct circles, a smooth natural lope, and a willing attitude that stays consistent. He stays connected when you pick up a rein and he learns from what you show him — each ride adds polish without losing that easygoing mind.
Completely proven in and outside the arena! He’s had long days in OK where he was used for it all. Penning back at sale barns, branding, gathering, and roping outside. He handles long days and new tasks with a steady willing attitude! This is not a “pretend ranch horse” he’s the real deal! He has been started tracking the lead steer and sled with genuine interest. He naturally rates, stays balanced through his shoulder, and offers something real to build on. If roping is where you want to take him, he’s already pointed in the right direction. If you want a versatile ranch, trail, or everyday using horse, he fits that as well. Cowboy has breakaway, heel, sorting wittier all over him and a peered to back him up!
His pedigree is filled with PROVEN bloodlines!!! Devil N Cowtown(LTE20,000), Smooth As A Cat( LTE of $500,000; sire of offspring earning $32 million,) Bet On Me 498(LTE $102,000- AQHA reserve world champion, junior cutting horse top 10 NCAA non-pro finals competitor), Smart Little Lena(LTE $743,000 NCHA Champion)
- He’s bred to have cow sense, grittiness, athleticism, and the best off the all, he’s bred to have a phenomenal BRAIN on his shoulders! Which is very hard to find in today’s industry
Around the barn, cowboy is exactly what you want. He tacks up quietly, stands patiently tied, hauls well, and maintains a calm, respectful demeanor in the stall. He is easy to handle, easy to ride, and easy to appreciate.
Cowboy is the kind of gelding that fits where you need him: i have used him in the lead line classes for my 19 month old and this horse keeps a clam, cool and trustworthy attitude the entire time! This horse has been hauled all over Texas, Oklahoma, CA and has a long resume of being “The Golden Boy”.
Ranch-proven Trail-solid Started in the heeling Soft and broke in the arena Obstacle-experienced Gentle and is good-minded in every way possible
Cowboy ties, clips, loads, bathes, and stands for the farrier. Stalls or pasture, alone or with company, he settles in quick and stays consistent.
What sets Cowboy n Cowtown apart is the blend of age, mind, and build — young enough to shape into anything you want, with the attitude to enjoy right now, and the physical quality to look good doing it.
If you’re looking for a gelding with presence, potential, and years of real riding ahead of him, this gray deserves more than a quick scroll-by. He’s the kind people remember.
Please feel free to call with any questions, and if you’re able, come visit him in person and take a ride. It’s the best way to see what a genuinely good horse he is. UTD on coggins, farrier work and worming
