Upper Level Quality Mr. Perfect

RHF Peterzano. 2012, 16.1 Hanoverian Gelding. Sire: Perigueux – Dam Sire: Now or Never

Serious Inquiries Only! Priced accordingly for temperament, record, and quality. Rare opportunity to be offered on the market a young, top string horse.RHF Peterzano (aka Pepperoni) is a talented 8 yr old gelding with an outstanding temperament, and record to match.

He is only being offered to the right situation, and to help my husband and I secure our farm. Pepperoni has been in a professional program since being imported from Europe at the age of 4. He has been brought along with upper level potential in mind. He has won at every level he has competed at, with consistent scores from the low to mid twenties. He is extremely reliable in show jumping to jump clear or no more than one rail.
He only has had one cross country jump penalty throughout his Eventing career. He goes in all three phases in a snaffle.

He would also be an extremely competitive 1.30 show jumper and speed horse. He is extremely easy on the flat, and is incredibly safe in the jumping, and is not strong in the hand on cross country. He has been used for lessons off and on since the beginning, and is a real favorite to everyone who meets him. His personality is very charismatic and very sweet. He has the same good nature everyday, and loves his job. He is willing to gallop or trail ride in company, or on his own. You can even have a calm ride bareback and in a halter.

Easy to travel with, compete, shoe, clip, and an easy keeper. He gets along with every horse and person he meets, and is happy to be in a stall, on the field, in a group, or by himself. He is known by his many fans as Mr. Perfect, and he truly is. This will not be easy for us to see him go, but he will be someone’s horse of a life time. Located in Idaho.

2016 TB Upper Level Prospect

West of Ireland aka Winston is a 2016 thoroughbred gelding, standing 16.1+. Retired sound in July 2019 after only two starts under his breeders silks. By Gio Ponti out a War Chant mare, he is extremely irish bred, and his bone and hooves show it. Winston began his journey as a sport horse at the end of July, and has exceeded all expectations. Balanced, soft, and lovely to flat, he is schooling all lateral work and is capable beyond his age. A rhythmic, cadenced, adjustable canter leads to a brilliant scopey jump from just about any spot. Solidly schooling novice, and is entered in his first recognized event in July (after his intended first event was cancelled in March). Loads, hauls, clips, you name it – he does it well.

This is the type of horse that the competent teenager dreams of, while being talented enough for the professional who wants something with a brain. Perfect home is a must; would love to see someone win the YEH 4yo championships and then cruise up the levels. Clean set of radiographs on file to serious inquiries. Located in Kentucky.
