He'za Bad Cat

We don't race our horses a lot, but they have great capacity for "Speed when you have a Need"...or just want to have fun! We have clocked Bad Cat numerous times (with 3 different gps units and 3 different automobile speedometers) going 30mph & have twice clocked him at 33 and 35mph! In most situations we ride at more relaxed speeds like 6-20mph, as riding them faster is the same as running a QH or TB horse full speed in a race. Doing that too much can be hard on their body and also wears them out fast, as well as causing them to be high minded, always wanting to go full speed. We love riding at a variety of speeds all over the deserts and mountains; it is so fun & addictive!  Cat gaits smoothly at every speed from a 2mph slow walk to a 30+ mph single-foot, and any speed in between you tell him to! He has a great slow walk, flat foot walk, glass smooth foxtrot & running walk, comfy rack and his "To Die For" single-foot that can be done around 12-15mph for long distances or twice that fast for fun bursts of speed! He's like a sports car deluxe! Cat stands 14.2 hands & weighs 900lbs and is solid, like a tank, yet limber and flexible to really stretch out and move very nicely, with great endurance. Although small in size, he carries a 250 lb rider better than most 15.2 hand/1,200 lb horses can, and he sure doesn't feel small when you're in the saddle. My wife is much smaller than that, and is his primary rider but he sure is fun for me too! He is just plain awesome to ride! Also, for those of you interested in bloodlines, his sire is by Tel-Star out of a Hanover mare and the dam is an Albatross X Virginia Undertaker mare.
