AOC Dust Bowl Baby Sold

'Charming' is a solid built gelding who is very handsome. We joke that he was meant to be Barbies horse, that's the look hes got going on. Going to be a phenomenal horse when he grows into himself and gets more time on! He is great to catch, load, haul, and trim his feet. A great mover with a smooth stride. 
2 months of training with Lucas Bertram, south of Shaunavon, spring of 2021. 2 months of training with Nick Schmidt, spring of 2022. He has been used to sort pairs/lates/drys, has breakaway roped a couple heifers, moved/chased/trailed out cows. Charming is used to the cattle dogs; bark, bite and range cows blowing up. I am quite impressed with how conscientious he is with where his feet are and how he places them when we are going acoss rocks and holes at a walk or as fast as we can to catch some miserabe cow. He is not a stumbler, he isn't falling in holes. He can get out and cover ground at walk if asked and he has gears if you ask. He is also happy to trail along and enjoy the ride. There isnt a mean bone in this geldings body and I'm quite confident saying there is absoloutley no buck in him. If he spooks at something he will take a couple steps away or back and then want to go right up to see what is going on. 

He has one flaw and as of right now I do not know if this is how he will be or if it is something that miles and wet saddle blankets will take care of. He will occasionally scare himself, no rhyme or reason. To explain better, he will go from having his head level or collected and put it up in the air. Then he will almost tuck his ass underneath him like he's going to take off and bolt, he can pick up speed sometimes and grab one more gear or he will stay at the speed he was. He can be pulled back down no problem and he will continue on like nothing happened. He might do it repeatedly throughout the ride or he might only do it once. There is no consistency with it, he isn't dangerous about it. As of right now its easy to handle, its just annoying. When he has something to focus on, whether it be a cow or a job of any sort, he doesn't seem to do it.
