Some horses take your breath away the moment you see them — Hercules is one of those rare treasures. With his striking Smoky Black coat, impressive presence, and gentle spirit, he is truly unforgettable. Foaled June 24, 2021 and standing 16.2 hands tall, Hercules is registered in the International Drum Horse Association and embodies everything people dream of finding in a forever partner — size, heart, and above all, unshakable gentleness. Don’t let his age fool you. Hercules is an old soul with his whole life ahead of him. From the very first moment you meet him, you’ll see his loving personality, gentle nature, willing spirit, and easy-going attitude shine through. He is the epitome of safe — whether you’re a small child, a beginner rider, or an advanced horseman just looking for a trustworthy partner to enjoy and have fun with. Hercules has already lived more experiences than most horses twice his age. He’s seasoned on the trails, steady enough to pack anyone or anything, yet kind enough to babysit your most precious cargo. He loves crossing water, logs, and climbing hills, and he’ll never go faster than you ask. With more “whoa” than go, he’ll build your confidence every step of the way. When you’re ready, he’ll willingly respond, picking up into a trot or lope with ease. His gaits are naturally smooth, soft, and effortless. This young gelding has seen it all and takes every new challenge in stride. He’s well acclimated to traffic, dogs, farm equipment, ATVs, gunfire, livestock, and wildlife. Nothing rattles him. He stands patiently to mount or dismount from the ground, a block, a log, or even a fence, always waiting quietly for his rider. But Hercules isn’t just a trail horse. He’s experienced parades, flag carrying, pasture roping, bareback riding, even being ridden double — and yes, even triple. He’s tagged along on hunting adventures and takes it all in with curiosity and calmness. No matter what direction you point him, he’s just plain fun to ride. If you are searching for a safe, confidence-building trail partner, Hercules is perfect. If you want a steady Fox hunting mount who will wait patiently and be ready when you are, he is perfect. And if you are longing for a gentle, kind horse for your children or grandchildren to enjoy with complete trust, then you’ve found him. Hercules is not barn or buddy sour, and he rides off alone with ease. He stands tied for grooming and tacking, picks up all four feet without hesitation, loads and hauls like a gentleman, and absolutely loves people — a true “in your pocket” horse. At the end of the day, you simply can’t measure the value of true safety, and Hercules offers that rare peace of mind. Horses like him don’t come along often. He is truly a rare find… and he will not last long. Sneak peek video available. Full video coming soon! For more information contact (573) 270-4490.
