Smooth As Nic

2017 AQHA Palomino Gelding

 

Smooth As Nic is a flashy gelding that is always willing to please. From the start, he has treated every new obstacle or maneuver with confidence, curiosity and a level head. “Yellow” has such a winning personality that he makes handling and riding him a pleasure. He impresses me every ride, whether it is working a cow or riding in the hills. All of this in combination with his bloodlines, he would make him the perfect match for someone that would like to excel in any ranch versatility or cow horse events.
