SST Quincy Dan "Dan"

Grullo gelding

AQHA #4669149

April 11, 2005

	I really enjoy riding this horse - he's quiet, loving and doesn't seem to get upset about anything. He has a great personality. He moves out well at walk, trot and canter and is very smooth and comfortable. He is 15.3 hh tall and still growing, and is just getting too tall for me. We feel that he is an awesome English huntseat prospect.
	June 2008	Above - I had two of my friends ride Dan so I could ride Lucky at the same time. They both enjoyed riding Dan - he is well behaved, quiet, and easy going.

Above - (L-R) Dan, Duey We called them the "Twins" as they were growing up. Born 11 days apart and best of buddies - I think they thought they were twins, too.	October 2008	Above - (L-R) Lucky, Dan, Duey, Tank We had our hands full trying to get all four horses to stand still and look at the camera! They all love the water and wanted to play.
Right - (L-R) Lucky, Dan Danny helped me pony my 2 year old, Lucky, around camp and through trails for the first few days of the ride. He handled the extra challenge with ease.

This young man is a Grullo breeder's dream - Lots of dun factor, tiger stripes, ear tips and NO WHITE! Currently stands at 15.3 (30 months old) and he indicates all the signs to be a BIG and TALL colt. An excellent western or english pleasure prospect, Dan is extremely sweet natured and easy to handle. Dan has an excellent conformation with stout legs, a very tiny head, ears and a long, thin neck.

He is currently receiving the basics of ground work preparing for riding next spring - he accepts the saddle as a natural appendage. He clips, shoes, loads and trailers with ease and has no vises. He has a slight overbite that has been monitored and adjusted regularly by our equine dentist and it poses no problem with his ability to eat, graze, or accept a bit for riding. He has no other flaws and is a super smart individual with a calm acceptance to new experiences.

I took him to Missouri for two weeks in June 2007 soon after just being green broke and he did wonderful for me. He is very enjoyable (a pleasure) to ride - has an excellent walk and I can put him out front and he'll walk out without issue or I can put him in the back or middle and he will adjust his pace to keep up but not run over the others on the trail. I took him back to Missouri again in October 2007 and rode him every day (choosing him over my 15 yr old gelding). I got many compliments from others about how calm, well behaved and sensible he was - on the trail and on the ground. I choose to ride him every chance I get to ride...he's tall for me but he always stands quiet while I scramble to get in the saddle and waits until I'm ready to move off.

Danny has speed, no only in is pedigree but he also shows it in the pasture. I've only done the basics with him under saddle - walk, trot, & canter/lope and haven't asked for anything more. He has excellent bone (legs) - they're not fine and fragile like so many of the large horses sold today. He could easily prove to be an awesome barrel racer or pole runner.
