Grundy, a 2002 gelding by
Donius W. was bred by Stefanie Ells. His dam was Trixi, a pinto
mare.
Karen and Grundy received a First and a Reserve Champion in
their first show.
Karen reports: "I broke Grundy about one month after I bought him, and he took
to it
very easily, and never offered up much in the way of
resistance. It
was kinda like a new "game" to him that we could play. Since
then
he's been progressing rapidly, and is now solid in the walk,
trot and canter, and starting to learn about coming on the bit and
simple
lateral work like leg yields. He's also gone on trail rides and
is
better behaved than most of the old horses! I didn't get a
chance to
compete at the big shows with him this summer like I'd planned
due to
work, but we did get out to one small schooling show in August.
I
entered him in the Young Horse class and, of course, he easily
took
first place! This qualified him for the championship class where
he
walked away as Reserve Champion of all the english entrants. I
was
extremely proud of my boy!" |
