Meet The Blue Sky Sage Horses

The Horses of Blue Sky Sage

For years, Blue Sky Sage has practiced and promoted a “native horse” philosophy, which is used continuously in our year ’round Horse operation. It provides a safe and effective environment for both humans and horses. This philosophy is a blending of the horsemanship methods of Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman, as well as a good sprinkling of open range practices that we have developed and integrated into the riding program. This style of horsemanship creates a well-mannered, safe, willing and enjoyable trail horse and a willing and effective human riding partner. For mental preparation, we recommend you read any books by Ray Hunt, Tom and Bill Dorrance or Buck Brannaman.

Our saddle remuda is composed of Western-type horses. This includes ranch-type Quarter Horses, Quarter/Draft cross, ranch-type Paints, and a few mustangs. These horses are gentle, sound, intelligent and are not the stereotypical “dude horse.” They are all well-suited to the faster paced riding in rough country that our experienced riders engage in, yet quiet and gentle for the less vigorous pace appropriate for novice and intermediate skill level riders. There are no gaited horses used in this operation, as gaited horses are not commonly considered a Western-type horse.

Prairie Rose

In memory of our sweet Prairie Rose, 2001-2018
The “million dollar horse” that anyone could ride, that never had an injury or a wound, and gave so many people so much joy and freedom of spirit. We will miss her.

Rojo came in a little stoic and jaded, but has worked through his skepticism of humans and has become a solid dude.

Bobbi2019-03-11T22:48:28+00:00

Double Up gets better every year, what a responsive, sensitive horse he is.

Bobbi2019-03-11T22:45:36+00:00

Roulette

Roulette is another of the go-to guys who has helped build the Blue Sky Sage empire. He’s full of character, a little quirky and as good as they get.

Blue Moon

Blue Moon has been on the team for several years and is a friendly, safe ride that almost anyone can get along with.

Rebel

Rebel, a true gem that we can do almost anything on, and put many different riders on as well. He’s a tall one!

Bobbi2019-03-11T22:43:07+00:00

Indian Pony

Indian Pony came from the Navajo reservation in Arizona, and was a kid’s horse. He is learning how to move out and he’s gentle, friendly, and a little smaller.

Andrew Vick2019-03-11T22:40:47+00:00

Romeo

Romeo is a gentle giant, but not too big. He has a surprisingly smooth gait and a big heart.

Andrew Vick2019-03-11T22:39:53+00:00

Jameson

Jameson is Bobbi’s new BLM mustang. She brought him home in the fall and turned him out to settle with the herd and to grow a little bit. He’ll go back under saddle in April, and with the fabulous start he already has, he’s going to be another excellent horse for her.

Andrew Vick2019-03-11T22:02:00+00:00

Curious

Curious is Mike’s new preferred ride, a very well-adjusted gelding with a soft feel and handle that came from someone who knew what they were doing when the started him. He’s a keeper.
