He has had 150 days professional training as of Spring 2020 with Tate Halverson of TNT Horsemanship. We have received many compliments on his disposition and athleticism from those who have seen him in person. Our trainer has said the thing he likes most about Maverick is that retains everything he's taught and they can pick up right where they left off. Maverick has spent time moving cattle and this spring he'll be spending 30 days with Tate during branding season. We look forward to bringing you video and photos of Maverick at work.

​

Maverick has everything we are looking for in a sire with his great disposition, athleticism, conformation and breeding.

Unfortunately Maverick was in a freak pasture accident on December 05, 2020 and was humanely euthanized. His last foal crop was in 2021.
