Drifting Blue Tivio "Maverick"
Drifting Blue Tivio a.k.a. Maverick was foaled April 2004. He is a sweet-natured, willing, and handsome gentleman gelding. He is a genetic buckskin roan with a lot of blue in him. He has a star and no other markings. His color changes with the seasons but he's always beautiful! Maverick is 92.8% foundation and looks it. He has a huge hip and great conformation and attitude. Maverick leads, picks up all 4 feet, bathes, clips, longes, loads and trailers, etc. He was started the right way at 2 years old and was the easiest colt I've ever trained. I have always been able to do anything I wanted with him. He has continued to be trained the right way in all aspects of his education. He has no buck, rear, or meanness in him. He is gentle and has been around children, dogs, goats, cats, vehicles, and other horses. He is very quiet and nice to be around. He's not scared of anything. He will walk up to people in the pasture wanting attention and following you around, he loves to be caught and comes running when he is called. He is a joy to be around. He is very cowy and has a good head on his shoulders. He would be an awesome cutting horse. He knows exactly what to do with a cow. He's laid back and will do anything his rider asks of him. He is very willing and talented. He moves around on his hocks...he is a really natural stopper and turns on on his rear end. He picks up both leads and is very light and responsive. Neck reining, side passing, and collection are nothing new to him. He is as responsive as they come. He really loves to be ridden and used. He has been ridden on trails, in open pastures, and down the road. Anyone can ride him and get along great. He has been ridden into caves, clear back into the dark, in the water, etc. He has been started on the heeling side and is a natural. The rope never bothered him and he really gets in there and puts you in the right spot. He is also well started on barrels. He is high loping a nice, smooth pattern and is loving it. He is going to be a quick, competitive barrel horse with a great turning style. He has been brought along slowly and correctly. He is ready to be hauled...he's been hauled some and did great already. He is a bold, intelligent horse. I cannot say enough about this guy...he's the best. As time passes Maverick becomes even better looking and he has gotten very stout. Maverick is right around 15 H. Maverick has also been ridden english and taken over jumps and he loves it. He would be a pretty english/dressage/jumping horse as well. He knows collection, side passing, leg yeild, and will ride in all english tack and just an O-ring snaffle. He is lots of fun! Maverick is barefoot and can be ridden anywhere and he stays sound and sure-footed. He has great feet! Maverick can sit in the pasture for months and then be saddled and go work with no problems. No vices, soundness issues, or health problems.

This horse is awesome and would do great with a serious competitor, he has the potential to go pro, whether barrels, roping, penning, cutting, reining, or even english....he could do it all. He would also be a wonderful family horse for trails, camping, etc. Was $6,500 NOW ONLY $4500!!!
