Suspension much? Icefield (Street Cry (IRE) – Burgundy Ice, by Storm Cat) is a 15.3-hand, 4-year-old gelding with springs on his feet. He is a young horse just coming into himself and just discovering his talent. His trainers say he has an analytical brain and super work ethic: “I don’t know” is the only “no” in his vocabulary and he tries hard to answer every question correctly. He’s been started over fences and already has an automatic lead change from the right to the left, with the other side not far behind. With his athletic body and twinkling personality, the sky is the limit for this guy!

Lightly Wound (Hard Spun – Frolicing, by Royal Academy) is a 2009 model 16.1-hand stunner. Between his adorable dapples, charming expression and big, round build, it’s hard to resist imagining him peeking over the stall door in your own barn. He’s primed and ready for a new career; last year he had a brief vacation on a sport horse farm and immediately was declared a dream horse. Warning: Despite his athletic physique this boy is described as a straight-up “cookie monster,” so be sure you have a year’s supply of mints before you bring this one home.

If you’re a sucker for tall, dark and handsome, we’ve got your guy right here. The Harley Kid (Harlington – Miss Peyote, by Orientate) is a 16.2-hand 2012 gelding with limitless potential. He has three powerful gaits and is happy having a job. He lunges well and has just started work over trot poles; his trainers say he is “all business” under saddle and very willing to try new things. When the saddle comes off, though, he just wants to have fun! Prone to silly antics, he has more personality then he knows what to do with and loves any attention he can get.
