Bandit

“Bandit” is a striking paint gelding that stands 14.3 hands tall and is built like a tank — thick, muscular, and correct. This unique gelding is by Hashtags out of a daughter of Thomas E Hughes! He is a finished cutter and has won $2,323 NCHA. 2024 APHA World Championship Show Jr Cutting Reserve Champion, marking a 220.5. Also marked a 217 in the 4-Year-Old Limited Open at the 2024 NCHA Super Stakes.

Bandit is super gentle and a pleasure to be around. He stays trained, and is youth/amateur appropriate in the cutting pen. This is a super cool, one-of-a-kind individual that checks all the boxes – talent, looks, experience, and temperament. Bandit has also been ridden on the trails, been through our thorough desensitizing program, and has been roped on by the previous owners. This guy is versatile and can do about anything that’s asked. Bandit is super fun on the flag as well, and definitely doesn’t have to be tuned on daily to remember his job. He is smooth moving and has the softest rocking chair lope that you’ll ride. Bandit has a fancy handle with all the bells and whistles. Hauls, loads, stands tied, bathes, and stands great for the farrier. I believe about anyone who can climb up in the saddle should be able to get along with this guy. With his sweet, charming personality, quick and catty moves on a cow, smooth rocking chair lope, and jaw-dropping good looks — Bandit is the kind of horse you can’t help but fall in love with!
