Description: This
young man is a soft eyed, loving and quiet chestnut gelding. He gets along well in the herd and is always in your
pocket, especially when you are trying to get something done. If he sees you have been working with another horse
or youngster in hand, after you have finished he will try to push his own face into the empty halter. "Take
me next." He enjoys training and will permit you to hang all over him without budging an inch.
Phoenix would be a wonderful dressage horse with the beautiful movement he inherited from both his sire,
who competed in dressage, and his Anglo-Trakehner dam who has dressage and eventing bloodlines. He is a willing
partner as he just loves to learn and to be with people. Phoenix will be a medium-sized horse around 15.3-16 hh
with good bone but not heavy. In addition to dressage he has potential as a mid-level jumper, eventer or fox hunter. Phoenix
has lifetime recordings with the USEF and the USDF.
Show Results: Phoenix was shown March 29, 2008 in the USDF
Dressage Across the Lake show (Folsolm, LA) in 2006 Colts & Gelding class. For his first time of the farm and
all the new things we threw at him he did quite well. He placed 2nd and had nice comments from the judge as well as
multiple "unfortunate tension" comments which we interpreted as he could have scored even better if he
hadn't been so nervous and new to the show environment. This was due to our lack of preparation and certainly
not his fault. We plan to continue exposing him to the show environment and showing Phoenix in upcoming USDF dressage
sport horse breeding classes as time permits until he is sold.
Phoenix is for sale. Asking $7500.
