Derby Horses

Josie is a versatile, gentle, and trustworthy all-around prospect with a performance foundation. He combines show ring presence with amateur-friendly disposition, making him a rare find for buyers seeking both performance potential and rideability for a broad range of riders.

2020 AQHA Gelding owned and shown by Team Rider Julia Ray. Started under saddle and with mounted shooting by Penley Horsemanship, Gucci is a full brother to our stallion, Tuff Little Pepto. Gucci and Julia successfully competed in the national CMSA Futurity and Derby in 2024 and 2025 and are looking to enter their third year of competition together headed towards the 2026 CMSA Derby. You wont find a sweeter disposition with the fire to be an upper level horse.

This amazing horse loves his job and has surpassed all expectations. We love him so much that we bought his full brother from Spring Valley Ranch. Thank you, Chris Himes, for the opportunity to train and ride this fantastic gelding!
