If you are looking for an A Circuit show hunter prospect or upper-level eventing prospect, then this horse is for you! Gem, as he is known around his barn, is indeed a gem! A trainer favorite, she raved about what a good guy her beloved gem is. He’s such a really good boy, she kept saying — great to handle, to ride or to pony on the track, to trailer. She said he has no vices, is an easy keeper, has been sound with no issues the entire time she has had him, and that “he loves you to love on him and give him treats.” Gem has been a successful racer and steady check producer in the years she has had him, but since he won a race earlier this year and has had to face tougher competition, he’s not finding the same racing success, so she knows that it is a good time to let him move on to a new career. Our volunteers drooled over his gorgeous good looks, balanced conformation with a great shoulder and topline. The photos do not do him justice, since we photographed him just a couple days before he was entered to race, and in an excess of caution they put a lip chain on him, while saying he didn’t really need it. Then, when he jogged for his video we all loved him even more, with both our show hunter volunteer and our dressage volunteer equally wowed. He showed off a lovely fluid trot, striding out with great reach and good hind end engagement. In addition to his good looks and beautiful movement, Gem offers an ideal sport horse pedigree. His sire Gemologist is by Tiznow. His dam, Cape Cod Carol, is from the Unbridled’s Song sire line and her dam is from the Valid Appeal/In Reality sire line.
