Smokey Granite – Winner at Spring Bay Horse Trials!

By Leslie on , Filed Under Area 4, b) $5,000-$15,000, Sport Horse Nation and , ,

VW Perry Photo

Description: A gorgeous grey thoroughbred standing at 17.1h, Smokey is a stunning event horse with tons of presence, and he has just won his first horse trials at Spring Bay in the Open Beginner Novice. The dressage judge placed him 3rd against several other professionals and commented, "lovely horse with super potential." Smokey then went on to put in a lovely, clear stadium round, and negotiated the cross country with ease, a double clear which moved him up to 1st! At seven years old, this horse has an exciting future ahead of him, with definite scope to go Prelim. He has schooled everything from large ditches, training level banks, trakehners, small Prelim fly fences, skinnies, and small corners. Further, my dressage trainer has commented that, due to his quality of movement, he could easily be marketed as a lower level dressage horse. Great opportunity to get a proven, quality horse at a reasonable price.
