A long legged beauty with very good movement showing extremely good rideability
Gheronimo will be a super prospect for the jumper ring, and he has enough movement to excel in the dressage ring, too!This is a really pretty colt who will turn grey. He is longer legged than his full brother, Ghiradelli.
Foaling report: A daytime foaling! Penny paced all night so I still didn't get any sleep because of watching her on the camera in our bedroom all night. She finally decided to get going right at feeding time at 8 am, and was still a drama queen about the whole birth. She spent some time pushing while standing up and then finally gave birth while thrashing and kicking lying on her back. Fortunately, our employee, Quinnton, arrived in time to see his first foaling. It was his honor to name him and Gheronimo seems to fit perfectly.
SOLD!Congratulations to Jill Strittmatter!
Gheronimo has been off property for a clinic, he went to a dressage show where he was a superstar, and we consider him a packer. He has an extremely good disposition and he has three very good gaits. He never needs lunging and comes out everyday ready to go to work. What more could you want? He jumps under saddle in good form- see the video when I took him to my friend's farm for his first over fences schooling session. Here is the most recent video of him under saddle at home:
