 **Midnight – Your Next Dream Horse is Right Here** 
*5-year-old | 16.0hh | Draft Cross Gelding (Percheron x Quarter Horse)*
If you're looking for the kind of horse that turns heads and wins hearts, Midnight is the one. This gorgeous 5-year-old draft cross gelding has the best of both worlds: the solid, steady bone and calm temperament of a Percheron, combined with the agility and athleticism of a Quarter Horse. He stands a solid 16 hands, with a classic look that’s as striking as it is functional.
Midnight is a true gentleman through and through. He’s the first to meet you at the gate and genuinely enjoys human interaction. Catching him is never a chore—he’s friendly, willing, and always happy to see you. Whether you’re brushing him up for a ride or just spending time at the barn, he’s the kind of horse who makes every moment enjoyable.
 **Trail-Tested & Ready for Anything**
Midnight is confident on the trail. He’ll go over, under, and through just about anything: water crossings, muddy bogs, brush, bridges, and logs. He’s sure-footed, brave, and relaxed out alone or in a group. His level-headed nature makes him an ideal partner for both advanced beginner-friendly trail rides and extreme outdoor adventures.
 **Desensitized & Experienced in the Best Ways**
He’s been thoroughly exposed to a wide range of “party tricks” and takes it all in stride. Tarps? No problem. Flags? Boring. Yoga ball? Let’s play. He’s even unfazed by sleds and leaf blowers. Whether you're riding out in the open or introducing new challenges in an obstacle course, Midnight keeps his cool and shows up with confidence.
 **Arena-Ready in Both English & Western**
Midnight has a lovely, collected walk, trot, and lope with great transitions and balance. He’s soft in the bridle, responsive to cues, and comfortable to ride. He’s just as happy under an English saddle as he is in Western tack, and he’s a natural over fences. He’s started over small jumps and absolutely loves it—he shows real promise for low-level eventing, foxhunting, or hunter/jumper disciplines. If you’re looking for a versatile all-arounder, this guy checks all the boxes.
️ **Solid Foundation & Thoughtful Handling**
Midnight was originally broke to drive as part of a team at just two years old, giving him a great start in life. As only his second owners, we can confidently say he’s been handled kindly and consistently every step of the way. He has excellent ground manners, trailers well, stands for the farrier, and enjoys regular grooming and handling.
 **Health & Maintenance**
This guy has been meticulously cared for and is completely up to date on all his needs. He’s current on:
- Dental care
- Chiropractic work
- Worming
- Vaccinations
- Regular farrier visits (currently shod all around)
- X-Rays available for viewing.
 **Midnight is the Total Package**
Whether you're looking for a dependable trail horse, a ranch partner, a pleasure mount, or a eventing prospect, Midnight is ready to be your go-to guy. He has the brains, body, and heart to go in just about any direction—and he does it all with a quiet confidence that’s rare to find.
