A Premium colt with an infusion of Thoroughbred blood in his pedigree. Now under saddle and FABULOUS!
He has excellent movement and correct conformation.Lhittle Rascal's sire, Liberty Gold was Double Champion of both his Stallion Licensing in Verden and of his performance test at Adelheidsdorf, Germany. At his licensing in 2003, Liberty took highest honors excelling in his basic gaits, free jumping, confirmation, and overall suppleness.

He scored an 83.9% in the class of 4-year old and older stallions shown under saddle.

Foaling report: A beautiful healthy, totally black colt!I expected chestnut , since the dad is chestnut and I get so many chestnuts here at RSF (is something in my water?). I was totally surprised at this totally black colt. He is substantial and appears to be short coupled. Movement looks good so far, but all he likes to do is canter so far.
SOLD!Congratulations to Joanne Penso of NJ!
Bucky is now in training with Shannon Stevens and Marcus Orlob and they say he is a fabulous mover. I can't wait to hear more progress reports!
Bucky was started here at RSF by our new horse breaker, Andy Sutliff. He does an amazing job. He has soft hands, has a matter-of-fact approach to young horse antics, and he gets the job done quickly, without stressing the horse or overfacing him. This is Lhittle Rascal with Cara. It is the 16th time Bucky is ridden. That is how good Andy and Cara are. Of course, Pierre will be training the young horses too. Jim and I are lucky people here at RSF to have such a great team!
