About this horse

At Auction – Sale Date: Mar 28, 2026 Disciplines: Beginner-Safe, Family-Safe, Husband-Safe, No Vices, Performance, Reining, Trail Riding, Western Riding, Wife-Safe, Youth His name says it all—Promise is a horse that delivers. From his impressive breeding to his size, color, and temperament, he is built to impress. Born in 2019, this 14.1-hand Dark Sorrel AQHA Gelding is an own son of Gunnatrashya, a Hall of Fame earner with over $200K in earnings, and on the bottom side traces back to the legendary Smart Little Lena. He’s NRHA licensed, making him an ideal prospect for showing, yet his calm, sensible nature makes him perfect for the trail, ranch work, or casual riding. Promise is a head-turner with a long, flowing mane and tail, three white socks, a striking white blaze, flawless confirmation, and that bright, alert eye that exudes intelligence. He is a true all-around horse, equally at home in the show pen or out on the trail. He has already proven himself in the show ring, having been shown in a local ranch show, and continues to excel wherever he goes. He has been exposed to state roads, traffic, and countless trails. He has done ranch work checking cows, fence lines, and our back pasture herd. His gaits are smooth and balanced from walk and trot to extended trot and lope. Promise knows his leads, offers a good lead change, and can even perform a sliding stop, making him comfortable and versatile for performance or pleasure. Promise is just as steady in an indoor or outdoor arena, ridden western, English, or bareback—he never misses a beat. He is easy in the barn, great for the farrier, calm in the wash bay, and loves attention, always the first to greet you at the gate. Confident around tarps, jugs, and whips, he’s the kind of horse you can trail ride today and show tomorrow. Best of all, he is safe and dependable for any level rider—from beginner to senior to advanced, making him a rare find in today’s market. He is up to date on all vaccinations, deworming, and shoeing, and is ready to step into his next home. If this sounds like the horse you have been looking for, please feel free to reach out to [contact info removed] for more information or to schedule a day to stop by and see him in person.
