Meet “Max Champagne Blues” – Rare Champagne Dun AQHA Gelding with Ranch & Show Experience

Max is an 11-year-old, 14.3-hand AQHA-registered gelding with one of the most eye-catching and unique colors you’ll find: a rare champagne dun. Beyond his striking looks, Max is the total package—gentle, dependable, and versatile, with a solid foundation of real-life ranching and show experience.

Quiet-natured and naturally smooth, Max is slow-legged and low-headed, making him a comfortable, easy ride for any level of rider. Yet, when asked, he’s more than capable of stepping up and getting the job done. He’s been ridden extensively by the whole family, proving himself safe and honest under a variety of riders, including youth and novice horsemen. He never takes advantage of a beginner and adjusts easily to his rider’s ability.

Max has been used in the branding pens, at the stockyards, and out on the ranch. He ropes, sorts cattle, and handles himself calmly in busy working environments. On the trail, he’s a steady and confident partner—sure-footed through rough terrain, comfortable alone, and reliable in a group whether he’s leading, following, or riding in the middle. Even timid riders feel secure on him.

For those interested in showing, Max is broke and polished enough for youth riders to take into open shows. His calm demeanor, smooth movement, and willingness make him a standout choice both in and out of the arena.

This gelding is the hard-to-find kind: a rare color, a kind and gentle disposition, and enough training and experience to excel in ranch work, roping, trail riding, or showing. Horses like Max don’t come around often—he’s the kind you’ll be proud to own, ride, and show off.
