Bandit is not for sale at this time.<\/p>\n

Buckskin Gold Bandit, aka Bandit, is a registered Tennessee Walker gelding (THWBEA 20408448\/BU), 16 years old (April 2004), bred by Dream Walker Ranch, Las Vegas, NV. He stands 16-1 hands tall and has a strong build. He is one of the most athletic horses I have ever ridden. Bandit has a big motor and likes to be moving out ahead. He is easy to control, but takes a strong hand on the reins when riding with a group. For that reason, he requires a confident rider. He is not aggressive around other horses or people and does well in a group setting or by himself. Bandit is experienced on the trail and around cattle and shows some “cow sense” when pushing a herd. He is not prone to spooking and is sure-footed on the trail.<\/p>\n

I have had Bandit on extended pack trips in the Blue Range Primitive Area in Arizona as well as the Jim Bridger Wilderness in Wyoming. I have ridden him on some pretty tough trails in Utah as well. I recently rode him with a group to the Secret Corrals, near Salina, Utah, where I split saddle time with another horse. When I was not riding Bandit, I tied his lead rope around his neck and let him follow along. He stayed right with the group, followed in line, and caused no disruptions at all. Here’s a video of that trip, shot by my friend, Jon Tanner. Toward the end, there’s a lot of footage of Bandit handling the trail (I’m the rider with the red shirt and blue BYU cap).<\/p>\n
