Postby reedhill » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:22 pm

NEW! PA-T1420-04 Old Faithful, chestnut gelding, 16.1+ hands, 4 years old. This horse is a piece of cake! A big, mellow fellow, this boy trotted all around the backside for us with wind so strong you could barely stand your own ground. Completely sensible and unflappable, this guy has a well-rounded background, including trail riding. He is a sturdy, big boned guy with a broad chest and an imposing shoulder that will assist him in many disciplines. His owner is extremely fond of this horse and describes him as a solid citizen, easy to handle and kind, kind, kind! To top it off, this horse is FLASHY with unique flecks of white throughout his coat. No issues what-so-ever! Give this guy a shot, the hard work has already been done with him! $2,499. Cara Holtzinger 717-425-9057 or 717-469-0398.

Is that what those little white spots are called? Birdcatchers spots? I've seen them before. The stallion Mustanfar, has tiny white spots all over his body. I think it's pretty different looking.

Not that it necessarily has anything to do with those cool spots, but he is also from the family of Rags To Riches, who had a pretty cool blaze, although no body spots that I remember.

Oh wow, very nice! He sure looks tough like he has a lot of stamina.
