Classic Show Stance Stallion
Chestnut
Sundancer
'96 Saddlebred +Golden Glory & Sunday Gold Palomino, star, socks on hindlegs Western tack Sire: Tenth of Denmark Dam: Golden Girl As rare as he is beautiful, this palomino Saddlebred stallion has a room full of championship trophies and ribbons. His two special gaits make him unbelievably smooth to ride or drive, and his striking honey and cream coloring make him stand out in show competitions. Sundancer looks his best in his show ring stretch, with his neck arched and his tail held high, and very few judges can ignore his special elegance. |
Turkistan '96 Akhal-Teke +Aladdin's Lass & Turkish Gold (set) Hind socks English tack Though his breed originates in Turkey, this handsome stallion lives in Kentucky, the heartland of Thoroughbred racing. It is his special job to lead the race horses in the "Post Parade" onto the track and up to the starting gate. "The Turk", as he is affectionately known, is popular with racing fans because of his striking color. He's also popular with the jockies because his quiet intelligence helps to keep the high strung racing horses calm until the starting bell. |
Bronze Baron
'97 Akhal-Teke +Red Gold & Red Baron Red, stripe, socks on forelegs, stockings on hind English tack This stunning young stallion is from Turkmenistan, where Akhal-Tekes have been bred for centuries. There they are valued for their endurance in the desert, where they can be ridden for days with almost no water. In the U.S., they are recognized for the metallic sheen in their coats and their tall, slender elegance. "Bronze Baron" is a perfect example, and has been piling up an impressive collection of ribbons and trophies. |

Parachute
'00 National Show Horse +Melody & Harmony Chestnut & white, white face English tack Life on a Virginia estate is a dream come true for "Parachute". Every morning, his master saddles up for a ride along the white sandy shores. They love to splash through the waves, making schools of fish skitter in every direction. Before the beach life, "Parachute" served his master well in the show ring. When he performed his specialty, Equitation, it was easy to see the close relationship he shared with his master. They truly achieved that special state where rider and horse become "one". "Parachute", like all National Show Horses, is a combination of the two most elegant blood lines in the world - the Arabian, and the Saddlebred. Along with his strength, endurance and heart, "Parachute's" gleaming "overo" painted coat makes him a rare beauty. |
