Affectionately nicknamed “Twix”,
This guy has had a career of many colors, and is the definition of been there, done that, & then some!!
Standing at 14.3 hands, this chunky, soft eyed gelding has captivated America’s heart by carrying some of Hollywoods greats through the iconic scenes of the old west! With a vivid recognizable face, Twix was featured in the Emmy Nominated
Yellowstone spinoff series, 1883. A show that is as much about the story of the American Quarter Horse as it is “the Dutton family’s” journey across a burgeoning America. The series features stars Sam Elliot,
Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and more. Twix starred as the character “Colton’s” horse, where he was ridden by actor Noah Le Gros from episode 6 through the end of the season. He was THE HORSE
Faith Hill’s character stole to go rescue her daughter, and Hill even ends up shooting a horse thief off of his back! You can find Twix in many facets of the series. From driving cattle, to being shot off of, to standing ground tied- this gelding was no one trick pony on set!
Twix was bred & raised by one of the most recognizable names in the performance horse industry, Schmersal Reining Horses.
Craig Schmersal is a $5.4 Million Dollar Rider, whose entirety of accolades couldn’t fit on this post. He & his family are responsible for making Twix’s sire - $3 Million Dollar Sire,
Pale Face Dunnit, the horse he is today. With quality as a byproduct of hard work & commitment, Twix has received the BEST care & education since day one. His look, training, and demeanor are a direct reflection of years of meticulous dedication to excellence in pedigree & performance. And while Twix may not have been one of the horses to make it big time as a reining horse, his career has clearly made him stand out in many other ways.
This horse packs a wealth of knowledge that any amateur can enjoy!
Twix is finished in all his reining maneuvers, has an adorable & easy to navigate extended trot, and will ride off your seat and legs with or without a bridle! He could easily step into the show pen as a high level ranch rider, versatility horse, or low level reiner. He has been roped off of, can work a gate, sidepass, and is seasoned and careful footed outside. He locks onto a circle, and does not require a sophisticated manual to operate. He could easily step into the show pen as a high level ranch rider, versatility horse, or low level reiner. He has been roped off of, can work a gate, sidepass, yield his hips, & spins. He stops on a whoa, and can back up by sticking your feet forward. He will give you as much as you ask for, and come right back to you when you’re ready to take it easy. He is push style, and rides comfortably in front of your leg without fuss.
Twix stands out for being an incredibly smooth operator. He has a soft, forgiving attitude, and a slow jog that you can sit back and sip a glass of wine on! Whether you are out on the trail, stepping into the show pen, or encountering random gunfire- he will make you feel like a movie star every time you swing a leg over him.
Twix travels sound & is selling with a complete clean bill of health, and a vet statement! (requires maintenance to a performance home)
He is clean legged, loads/hauls, stands tied, is an easy keeper, easy to catch, great for farrier/vet, and has ZERO vices. This sweet gelding has a heart of gold, and is very, very lovable.
