 Dusty 
AQHA Registered Name: Rode Trip
 14.3hh |  Gelding |  All-Around Rope & Trail Horse
If you’ve been looking for a solid, safe, and seasoned gelding that can do it all — look no further. Meet Dusty, a flashy, reliable AQHA-registered gelding who has been there, done that, and is still as willing and honest as the day is long. He’s the kind of horse you don’t find often and once you have, you’ll want to hang onto forever.
 PERFORMANCE-BRED & ARENA-READY 
Dusty is the ultimate all-around rope horse with experience on both ends — heads, heels, and breakaway. He’s quiet in the box, has smooth, consistent runs, and is easy to handle for any level of roper. Whether you’re jackpotting on weekends or teaching someone to swing a rope, this gelding brings calm confidence and a big heart to every run.
✅ Ropes both ends – seasoned head horse and heel horse
✅ Breakaway experience – quiet, steady, and dependable
✅ scores sharp and leaves flat
✅ Built right with a strong hip, clean legs, and a soft eye
 TRAIL PROVEN & RANCH SMART 
When he’s not in the arena, Dusty shines out on the trail and around the ranch. He crosses logs, bridges, creeks, brush, and tall grass with zero hesitation. Traffic safe, tractor broke, and bombproof to livestock, Dusty is the kind of mount you can throw a halter on bareback or saddle up for a long day’s ride.
✅ Trail rides alone or in a group
✅ Crosses anything – water, bridges, logs, thick brush
✅ Calm in new places and unfamiliar terrain
✅ Seen the sights: dogs, farm equipment, busy roads – you name it
GROUNDWORK & GENTLEMAN MANNERS
Dusty is the kind of gelding that makes owning horses fun. He’s been used in our lesson program with kids and adults alike — he knows how to take care of a rider and never gets fresh, pushy, or unpredictable. He’s got all the barn manners you want:
✅ Ties, loads, hauls like a dream
✅ Stands for farrier and vet
✅ Leads easily – respectful and calm
✅ Bathes, clips, fly sprays without fuss
✅ Stands like a statue at the mounting block or from the ground
✅ Zero buck, bolt, or rear — ever
He’s an easy keeper, gets along with other horses, and is just as sweet in the pasture as he is in the barn. No special maintenance, no vices, and 100% sound and sane.
 WHO IS HE FOR?
Dusty would be the perfect fit for:
 A roper who wants a finished mount that can do both ends
 A ranch or trail rider who wants reliability and style
 A family looking for a safe, dependable gelding to use in lessons or all-around riding
 Anyone who appreciates a kind, broke, trustworthy horse
He’s quiet enough for a beginner, handy enough for a trainer, and honest enough for a youth or competitive rider.
