Bank President Excels at Everything!

Apr 20, 2010

Just a quick note from Minnesota. Banker is excelling at everything, he really is too smart for his own good. He is learning to bend and we have almost got him over the playful bucking issue. He has an amazing canter stride and really tries hard to please. He is so cute when her free jumps! He gets all excited now and you can’t even hold him at the end of the ring anymore.

Bank President

Sep 18, 2009

The vet was shocked I bought Bank President sight unseen and then amazed at his easy going temperament. He is so very quiet now after some down time. My farrier also commented on what a nice TB he was. He is on his way now to getting healthy and starting a new career next year.

LS – Little Silic or Let it Snow!

Dec 19, 2008

Little Silic aka “Shaman” is doing great. As you know because of recent health issues we have not been able to train recently, however he has gained more weight and he’s blossoming into a wonderful young man. He has grown up a bit, he no longer has the “baby face” anymore, which I will miss,…
