HICKORYS TUX Hickorys Tux is a 2007 AQHA Black Gelding aka Tux. This is a good colt that has good pedigree and good, correct conformation. Tux is bred and built to be a jam up cow horse/cutting horse. He is currently being used as one of our best ranch horses around here. He is not a finished horse, but he is pretty far along for his age. Tux has been exposed to it all! He gets rode in some real rough country, hunting wild cattle in the brush, sorting, doctoring, dragging calves, etc. He is learning to work a rope pretty good. He has so much try and so much heart and he pulls really good by the horn. Tux is real light in his face and sides and he has a nice smooth lope as well. He is plenty smart and very willing. Tux is all business and we haven't had the time to just stand around and pet him and desensitize him. Having said that, he is not a horse for an inexperienced rider. The only thing that he has ever done wrong is that every once in a while he will snort at something random while riding out in the pasture. But he is real honest about it. He has never tried to turn out from under us or run off or buck or anything bad that like that. He just looks at what ever it is and snorts and just keeps on walking by. Tux will travel through, over, and around just about anything. He will willingly walk, trot, or lope through water, jump over dead trees that are down, travel through thick brush, etc. He is the type of horse that would still travel 100 miles with a broke leg just to get you there because you asked him to. That's what I mean by him having a big heart and a lot of try. He learns very quickly too! We have roped a big ole cow off of him and drug her in the trailer, and we have done the same thing with a lot of big weaning calves off of Tux. We have had him in and out of the trailer A LOT and he loads good, backs out good, or will turn around if you need him too as well. We have also had him in and out of the stock to bathe him every time we ride him. He has had nothing but wet saddle pads. Tux has a pretty good neck rein for his age, not to mention a really good handle on him too. He is currently in a correction bit, and doing very well in it, but will also ride in a hack as well. Tux has a bright, perky look to him and a HUGE soft eye. He has a clean throat latch, short back, good withers, nice slope to his shoulder, pastern and hip and real good feet. He also has a real pretty, thick, mane and tail. Tux has several half and full brothers and sisters that are cutting horses, ranch horses, penning and sorting horses, and roping horses. Right now he stands 14.3 hh and should probably be 15+ hh at least when he is fully matured. Tux lives in the pasture and he is a very easy keeper. He is coal black in the winter, but during the summer he bleaches out if left out in the sun like we do. Oh and did I mention, he has really good strong feet!! SOLD!!! THANKS, BOB IN STEPHENVILLE, TX FOR BUYING ONE OF HIS BABIES HE RAISED BACK!!

This was the same day as the pics above, just earlier in the day. The lower the sun the redder the tent my camera picks up. This pic is more of his ture color:
He is sun bleached in these pics, but he really is black in the winter time or if you could keep him out of the sun. 8/31/09:
