At Smokey Valley Farm, we would like to introduce you to Comanche Moon, a striking 15.1hh, 3-year-old sabino gelding who is double registered as both a Smokey Valley Horse and a Tennessee Walking Horse. As one of the last direct sons of one of our top breeding stallions, Stetson, Comanche Moon embodies the athleticism, versatility, and willing disposition that have made Smokey Valley Performance Trail Horses so highly sought after.
Bred specifically for Performance Trail Riding, Comanche Moon possesses a huge ground-covering stride, a naturally smooth gait, and a powerful motor that allows him to travel effortlessly over miles of terrain while covering ground with ease. His eye-catching color and balanced conformation are matched by an exceptional mind, making him as enjoyable to own as he is to ride.
Comanche Moon truly comes alive on the trail. He loves having a job to do, enjoys new challenges, and is always eager to see what’s around the next bend. Whether climbing steep ridges, crossing creeks, navigating rocky terrain, or stepping over logs and obstacles, he approaches every ride with confidence and enthusiasm. He is equally comfortable riding out alone or in a group, confidently goes wherever he is pointed, and is dependable enough to pony other horses as well.
He is the definition of a true rail-to-trail horse. He has the look, natural talent, and style to break hearts in the show ring on Saturday, then hit the trails Sunday morning leading the pack. We also believe he would make an outstanding field trial mount due to his compatibility with dogs on the trails and his desensitization to guns, or an exceptional endurance prospect for someone looking to pursue those disciplines. Horses with this level of versatility are uncommon, and Comanche Moon is the kind of horse that can take you wherever your interests lead!
Comanche Moon is ridden extensively at Smokey Valley Farm to maintain his conditioning and keep him performing at his very best. He has already proven himself as one of the finest horses in our barn and continues to impress us every day with his consistency. His solid foundation, natural ability, and exceptional mind have made him special from the very beginning. While many horses his age are just getting started, Comanche has already developed into a dependable, versatile partner with the confidence to handle whatever is asked of him. We are incredibly proud of the horse he has become and have no doubt he will continue to excel for his next owner, whether on the trail, in the show ring, or wherever his journey takes him.
He is not a lazy horse, and that is exactly what we strive to produce in our Smokey Valley Horses. We intentionally breed horses with the desire to move forward willingly, the stamina to cover miles efficiently, and the work ethic to stay engaged throughout the ride. Comanche Moon is athletic, forward-thinking, and always eager to please. He is the kind of horse that enjoys having a job to do and doesn’t need constant encouragement to keep going. If you’re looking for a horse with a fantastic people-oriented personality, exceptional looks, and the ability to leave the slow, nose-to-tail rides behind, Comanche Moon will be ready to take you on an exciting and rewarding ride every time you climb into the saddle.
His training reflects the consistency and foundation expected of a Smokey Valley horse. Comanche Moon is traffic safe and confidently crosses water, bridges, logs, and challenging terrain. He can ride out alone or in a group. He has been desensitized to loud noises and guns, is dog-friendly, stands quietly tied, stands well for the farrier, loads and trailers with ease, and has no buck, rear, kick, bite, or stall vices.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Comanche Moon. We are proud to offer a horse that reflects the quality we strive to produce at Smokey Valley Farm. We look forward to seeing him partnered with his new owner and have every confidence that he will provide years of enjoyment, memorable rides, and lasting success wherever the trail may lead!
