Dude is very gentle at all times and super broke for any level of rider or roper to enjoy. Whether you're in the arena or on the trails, he's a perfect gentleman in every way. We've owned Dude since he was a yearling and have done pretty much everything on him. He's been everywhere from the big rodeos to the little jackpots - he's a solid head horse that any level of roper can win on. My granddaughters have hauled him all over to the circuit and college rodeos, as well as the jackpots as a breakaway horse. The best part about Dude is he will be the same horse everytime you back him in the corner and you don't have to be a cowboy to ride him. As with a lot of them that have been hauled a lot, he will require maintenance on the front and cribs without a collar. We give him Previcox and put a collar on him and he's good to go.
