What an amazing picture! Wanted to thank you again for making Erin and me feel so welcome when we stopped in to the big guy. He is obviously in great hands and we couldn't be happier for you or him.

About The Beloved Horses

GUINNESS
Sired by Gargoyle, who was by the famous stallion Goodwill, our Guinness is an extremely handsome 16.1 hand Hanoverian/Thoroughbred who's registered as a Canadian Sport Horse. His dam was a talented dressage horse who has produced many famous offspring. Guinny has the perfect combination of genetics, talent, intelligence, athleticism and kindness. His work ethic is second to none and his favorite pastimes include removing fly masks from his stablemates and relocating the plastic bouquets affixed to arena jumps. His trot is huge and his canter a dream. He is schooling Second Level dressage and jumping cleanly a 3'6" course. We do hope he loves jumping cross-country as there is lots of it in his future with us as an eventer!

JESSIE
Our sweet beauty queen, Jessie (aka Overdrive) joined our family a few months after her handsome brother. She and her girl had been a successful eventing team for a number of years and we are so thankful to have been the chosen ones to give her a new forever home. She's incredibly athletic and quite bold, and around our barn she rules the roost. We don't know much about her past other than that she was an Advanced event prospect in Kentucky and we're keen to see how far she'd like to compete with us. She knows a lot more than we do at this point, and we're hoping she is willing to lead her slightly timid brother calmly forward into situations in which he otherwise might hesitate. She's a fiery little red bundle who'll jump a freight train if asked but who's sweet enough to tolerate the less talented equestrians among us.
