Yikes, a warmblood crossed with a TB is just too big to afford to be mean.

Took this just for you guys. He wasn't as tall as some I have seen, but what a pretty mover.

The show had a lot of entries. It is a 2 day show, with a pointed AQHA show tomorrow. Lots and lots of people there. Alison placed 5th in Showmanship and Horsemanship, 3rd in Pleasure and a first in trail. We were very happy with that, as the competition was very keen with her classes having 12-15 in. Amy won a 3rd in her Showmanship class, but I left before her Pleasure. It will be very late when they get home. They went up last night and might stay tonight again and leave for another show tomorrow.

He was a VERY big horse. Jatski (the sire) was 17.2 hands, and the mama was around 16.3. I figure he was about 16.2 but at 5 he probably didn’t have all his growth yet. Very massive and muscular, dark chestnut with 4 white socks and a blaze. Really handsome, good mover, shame he was so mean. He was just as mean under saddle as in the stall or paddock, he dumped me a couple of times. He would wait until he felt you relax or get off balance after a big jump, then he’d put his head down between his knees and just LAUNCH you!
