This guy is a real Black Beauty come to life! There is so much to like about him, we don't really know where to start. He is in beautiful condition with his shiny coat and bright eye. He's also adorable. He does need shoeing, and that will happen shortly - his feet are long, and his heels are low- all can be easily corrected.
We love the picture he makes, with his beautiful shoulder, powerful hind end, and lovely neck. He will make an amazing show horse, dressage horse, eventer.....the list goes on.
He sold for $125,00 as a yearling at the Fasig-Tipton sale. His pedigree is fabulous with Bodemeister on top and Tiznow below.
He is retiring with no known vices and no known injuries.
