description:
Winner 2 y.o. IHF West Coast Finals and Reserve Champion 3 y.o. IHF West Coast Finals. "Billy" is a beautiful horse with great potential for both the Professional & Jr/AO divisions. As a foal he was also Champion at Inspection and recipient of a Premium Award. He has been very easy to bring along and is well-adjusted to the show scene.
Billy has a huge ring presence and is very striking. He moves in big smooth steps and is gorgeous under saddle. Billy is naturally soft and willing to the fences. He has a great front end and will be very impressive over bigger jumps. Billy needed little training to prepare for his IHF wins and spent most of his young life trail riding around the farm. He's now swapping leads and jumping around Baby Green courses at home and at the shows.
Billy has been loved and handled daily since birth by the Seller (who is all of 5'1"!). He is very mature for his age and has a sensible, laid-back attitude about life. Billy has no spook, learns quickly, and tries very hard to please. He is a big, tall, elegant sweetheart that will be lovely to watch come up the ranks.
