Shaking Bucks Buckskin Gelding Tennessee Walking Horse

7 years • Gelding • Tennessee Walking Horse

We proudly introduce Shaking Bucks, a beautiful buckskin tobiano gelding, a Tennessee Walking Horse. If you are looking for something extraordinary, beautiful, well-trained, and full of personality, I encourage you to take a look at Shaking Bucks. Shaking Bucks, affectionately known around the barn as Buck, is a 2019 model buckskin tobiano registered TWH gelding. He stands 15.1hh and is a solid mount. Buck has a smooth, comfortable saddle gait and can cover some beautiful country. While his gait is nice, he is perfectly happy to just walk along. In my opinion, his loving personality, calm demeanor, and easy handle make him suitable for most riders. Buck was foaled on March 28, 2019. He is currently seven years old. He is a great age, old enough to have mileage and experience, yet young enough to have many good years left to enjoy. Buck is a nice ride, solid, safe, and smooth! Buck is an experienced trail horse who has seen all kinds of trails. He’s been one of our personal trail horses this fall, and he’s done a great job and been a pleasure to have. I have taken him on many day rides, night rides, and a week at Honey Creek Horse Camp earlier this fall. I’ve ridden him through Daniel Boone National Forest, Big South Fork, and several other trails. Buck has proven steady and reliable, even in challenging terrain. Buck has faced most trail obstacles you can imagine. He maneuvers carefully through steep, rocky, tight terrain. He willingly crosses mud puddles, creeks, logs, rocks, bridges, etc. He has also encountered wildlife on the trail, such as deer and squirrels. We have ridden him locally and hauled him to ride. Buck will ride alone or in a group, front, back, or middle. Buck is a solid trail mount. Buck is also easy to handle on the ground. He is easy to catch; he will come to you anytime he sees you. He respects fences, ties, leads, loads, and backs from the trailer; he stands for grooming, blanketting, and tacking up, and he lets you handle his hooves, etc. His sensible mind is one of his greatest characteristics! It has come in handy a couple of times. I have ponied another horse from him on the trail and even done some trail maintenance with a small chainsaw while riding him. He puts up with our shenanigans with no fuss. He stands to mount from the ground or mounting block, rides tacked or bareback. I have even hopped on him with just a halter. Buck rides in a tail croupier with no problem and carries saddlebags too. He is enjoyable to trail ride; he will take his time and let you enjoy the scenery or saddle along so you can enjoy the ride of a gaited horse. He loves people as much as, if not more than, other horses. He will drink from your bottle, play with the water hose while bathing, and play with a lead rope. He is Mr. Personality! If I had to fault him, it’s that he can be lippy. He is like a dog, lol. If you allow it, he will lick or nibble you. Someone will fall in love with his big personality. I could continue talking about Buck, but I will let the videos do the rest. We have put together plenty of video footage so you can meet Shaking Bucks virtually. Buck is up to date on Coggins and vaccinations and has had a general vet exam. He is shod in plain Jane keg shoes and had his fall deworming with ivermectin. Buck is ready to go and do whatever you want. It goes without saying he is one of the most beautiful horses on the market, with his color and markings. Buck is an all-around steady mount. I am happy to be offering this horse. I strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet him in person throughout his auction. Feel free to contact me, Jordan Payne, with more questions or to discuss Buck.

Kentucky Horses: Thoroughbreds, Gaited Breeds and More

Kentucky is famous for its horses. Lexington calls itself the Horse Capital of the World, the Kentucky Derby is run at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and the Bluegrass region is known for its Thoroughbred farms. A search of horses for sale in Kentucky can turn up sport horses, ranch horses, trail horses and breeding stock, and the filters on this page help you compare them by breed, age, price and location, whether you want a gaited trail horse, a Thoroughbred, a Quarter Horse or a pony.

Horses for Sale in Lexington, Louisville and Across the State

To look for horses for sale in Lexington KY or horses for sale in Louisville KY, enter the city or county in the City / County box, or browse farms and small towns across the state. Narrow the listings by breed, gender, age, height, color, discipline and price, and open a seller’s profile to see everything they have for sale. The state is also the birthplace of gaited breeds such as the Rocky Mountain Horse and the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse, and the American Saddlebred is closely associated with Kentucky too.

Buying a Horse in Kentucky

Price depends on the individual horse rather than the state, so compare similar horses before you make an offer, and ride a gaited horse before you buy to confirm that its gait is comfortable for you. If you are buying from out of state, ask the seller about the health paperwork required to cross state lines, get quotes for hauling, and agree a trial ride and a pre-purchase veterinary exam before you commit. Compare horses by age, training and temperament, ask for photos and video, and contact the seller through the listing to arrange a visit before you decide. Use the Discipline filter if you need a trail, pleasure or show horse, and the Gender filter for mares, geldings or stallions. Looking for something else? Equine Listings links every category on the marketplace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of horses are for sale in Kentucky?

Kentucky listings can include Thoroughbreds, Saddlebreds, Quarter Horses, ponies and crosses, along with gaited breeds such as the Rocky Mountain Horse, Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse and Tennessee Walking Horse. Use the Breed filter on this page to focus on the type you want, whether that is Quarter Horses for sale in Kentucky, ponies or walking horses, and read each description to see what the horse has been trained to do.

Where can I find horses for sale in Lexington KY or Louisville?

Enter Lexington or Louisville in the City / County box on this page to look for horses for sale in Lexington KY or horses for sale in Louisville Kentucky, or filter by state and browse everything in Kentucky. Open a listing to see the seller’s town, and buy close to home when you can so that you can visit and ride the horse.

Are there Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses and other gaited horses for sale in Kentucky?

Kentucky is home to several gaited breeds, so this is a good place to look. Filter the listings by breed to find a Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse for sale, a Rocky Mountain Horse or a Tennessee Walking Horse, then check each one for the horse’s gait, training and registration. A gaited horse should be ridden before you buy, so arrange a trial ride with the seller.

How much do horses cost in Kentucky?

Price depends on the horse rather than the state. Breed, age, training, registration, bloodlines and discipline all matter, so a young prospect and a finished trail or show horse are priced very differently. Use the price filter to see what Kentucky sellers are asking today, and compare similar horses before you make an offer.

Are there Thoroughbreds for sale in Kentucky?

Thoroughbreds are listed by their sellers like any other breed, so use the Breed filter on this page to look for a Thoroughbred for sale in Kentucky. If you are considering one, ask about its age, racing or training history, soundness and registration, and what it is being sold to do next, and have a veterinarian perform a pre-purchase exam before you buy.

How do I get a horse home from Kentucky?

You can haul the horse yourself with a suitable trailer, or hire a commercial horse hauler, and it is worth getting quotes before you agree on a price. Ask the seller whether they can help arrange transport or meet partway, and plan rest stops and water for a long trip. Check the health papers you will need to cross state lines before you set off.

How do I contact a seller in Kentucky?

Every listing has a Message Seller button and the seller’s phone number and email address behind a reveal button. If you can, visit the horse and ride it, and request the papers and health history in writing before you agree a price.
