“Shiney Gold” came to us very unexpectedly. His sire is Blue Ribbon Mr Bodacious, 4 time National Champion, 2001 National Grand Champion Sr Stallion and 2004 World Champion Get Of Sire and his dam is a daughter of multiple National Champion driving horse, Imma Rooten Tooten Outlaw. But when he was offered to me, you can be sure I jumped at the chance. Shiney Gold had already proven himself in the show ring before we aquired him. He was the 2004 Central Regional Grand Champion Weanling Stallion 26 – 30 and was 2004 Reserve World Champion Weanling Stallion 26 – 30. He has been Supreme, Grand or Reserve Champion several times. This year has been very exciting with Shiney Gold as he was shown by both Samantha and I. He has proven to be a great teacher for me and with us he was 2007 Eastern Championship Reserve Champion Amateur Gelding. He won Amateur Level 1, AOTE Geldings and was second in Level 2 at the same show. He finished his year with top ten at the AMHA World Show in Amateur Level 2. Look for him again as he loves the ring and will be continuing on as the wonderful horse he has come to be.

Who would have ever thought this one of us. We have been blessed with being able to add this young horse to our show string for 2009 as a yearling gelding over, yes an over horse in our barn. Will wonders never cease. But I always knew that if we found the right horse, no matter what size it was, that we would show an over horse. Well Otis is that horse. He is very well put together, has a beautiful head with a big, pretty eye, and his neck and legs go on forever. Or at least to us they do. He is also a very well bred young man being half Arenosa from his HOF sire, Sundance LB Hot Topic.
So don’t miss him in the ring showing in open and amateur jr geldings over.
