This beautiful, lovely moving, sweet and ammy friendly young gelding had our volunteers drooling — our show hunter volunteer was ready to snap him up, as was our dressage volunteer … but we have kindly allowed our FLF followers to have the opportunity to bring this great young horse into your stable! His trainer, who is usually laconic ( a person of few words), had a lot to say — all great — about him. It was obvious to us that she really liked this guy and that his personality had won her over. As we admired his solid bone, beautiful head and balanced build, and plied him with peppermints, she praised him as a lovely quiet and friendly horse who is great to handle and good to ride, who does not even need to be tied in his stall to groom or tack up, and has no vices and is sound. But while he is a beautiful, great moving, sweet and excellent sport horse prospect, what he is not is a racehorse. He has yet to win a race in 16 starts, although he has 3 second place finishes this year. As we like to say, racing’s loss is your gain. A Knight’s Courage enjoyed our attention for his photo session and showed us how friendly and in your pocket he is. For his jog video, he showed flat kneed reach and excellent engagement from behind for his trot, leaving both our show hunter volunteer and our dressage volunteer proclaiming that they LOVED him for their respective disciplines. A Knight’s Courage is sired by Bourbon Courage, who is from the Lion Heart/Tale of the Cat sire line that is known for ammy friendly horses with great brains, great movement, and excellent jumping ability. His dam is by Include, a son of Broad Brush that represents stout TB lines that have been very successful in jumping sports. This guy is a definite volunteer favorite, and we are going to be envious of the lucky person who gets him, and we hope you will keep us apprised of how he is doing in hi new career.
