Romeo has a bit of an identity crisis—he’s a phenomenal horse who identifies as a golden retriever! He is the definition of “in your pocket” and genuinely loves being around people. The combination of Romeo’s exceptional personality, striking looks, and training makes him a true 10/10 horse. Romeo has been at Roux Reining Horses for the past year and a half, and during that time he has done a little bit of everything. He has taken the kids down the road to the truck stop for lunch, ridden the trails, roped in the pasture, and continued his reining training. With 20 months of reining training, Romeo has developed an excellent lead change, turnaround, speed control, and a big stop. He has the talent and training to have a successful career as a lower-level reiner. He is willing to perform, and his more “whoa than go” mindset makes him a fantastic candidate for a babysitter-type role. We also believe he could shine in the ranch riding arena. While Romeo absolutely stands on his own as an exceptional horse, his pedigree helps explain what makes him so special. He is by ARC GUNNABEABIGSTAR, the 2014 NRHA Open Futurity Co-Champion and an earner of more than $324,000. His dam’s sire, GOLD CARD WHIZ, holds a particularly special place in the Roux family’s heart. A three-time NRHA World Champion, Gold Card Whiz was Chris’s personal horse and is credited with helping launch his show career. Romeo is the kind of horse that is hard to find: talented, willing, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to have around. Whether you’re looking for your next lower-level reiner, a ranch riding prospect, or simply an exceptionally nice horse to enjoy, Romeo is one you’ll want to meet. He is current on vaccines, farrier work, and dentistry and sells guaranteed sound.
