Princeton

Listing Overview

Perry is the kind of young hunter who genuinely makes life easier, not harder. This 17.1-hand Canadian Warmblood gelding (by Jethro Tull out of a Calvados mare) brings the best of both worlds: athletic enough to catch eyes with his floaty trot and balanced canter, but quiet enough that he doesn't need lunging before lessons or shows. His show resume already includes respectable outings at Rocky Mountain, Brandon Royal Winter Fair, and Winnipeg, and he's currently working through a consistent 3'0" program with both amateur and junior riders. His ground manners live up to the hype too: he loads without fuss, stands like a gentleman for the farrier, and essentially naps through clipping. If you're an experienced junior in a program or an amateur looking for a genuinely rideable horse to bring along through the hunter and derby divisions, Perry offers that rare combination of enough talent to be exciting and enough brain to keep things enjoyable.
