Soldier of Truth (no photo available)This homebred 16.3 hand 2003 gelding out of a Mokhieba mare, Gallic Gal, became a personal favorite of Steuart's. He went from being a scared little guy to a solid friend as soon as he was put in training. Right before Bruce Davidson bought him we took him foxhunting and did a hunter pace on him. He hunted like an old pro. Steuart took him up to Bruce's for a lesson and was told that he was "as nice a young horse as I've seen anywhere." Team vet Brendan Furlong was equally impressed when he did the pre-purchase exam. Buck is now competing Soldier of Truth ("Bill") at the Preliminary Level - he came in 3rd at Rocking Horse Spring HT 2009 on his dressage score of 32 - and completed his first CCI* in the spring of 2009. |

True Muse (pictured above)This horse won the Five Year Old Class at MCTA's Young Event Horse Competition on May 2, 2008, against a strong field of horses ridden by many of the sport's top professionals. While most horses were awarded 6's and 7's on the jumping factors, Muse got 9's on all four and an 8 for his gallop. We had thought he would become an FEI dressage horse, knowing that he has great movement, but it took him some time to learn to use his 18 hand plus body over jumps. No horse has a kinder attitude about his work. Brave, honest, beautifully balanced and exudes quality. His dam is one of the best bred Trakehners in the country. She's by Consul (the deceased one in Germany who sired CCI**** eventers as well as jumpers and dressage) and her dam is by the famous dressage sire Mahagoni. Crossed with the best Thoroughbred sport horse blood in America (in our humble opinions) you'd expect a horse of this class. After competing successfully at Training level in 2008, he was sold to young rider, Kimmie Scampini, in Massachussetts. |
Laissez Faire (no photo available)"Adam," as he's known to his breeder/owners, Nicole and Suzie Coffey, is described by them as "awesome, so laid back and friendly and gorgeous!" Laissez Faire won both the Hunter Breeding Yearling and Sporthorse Breeding Yearling in-hand classes at the Howard County Fair in 2008. He also won the Future Event Horse yearling colt/gelding class at the 2008 Difficult Run HT. He hops on the trailer without a question, ponies along next to other horses on trail rides, and he loves going in the water. The Coffeys are very excited about their future event horse and we're excited to see another gorgeous addition to Willy's offspring. |
