Dandee!


Dandee was ridden by a 71 year old gentleman before I acquired him in 2002. Loads without a lead shank, will just follow you into the trailer.    Excellent with his feet for the farrier. He bathes, impeccable stall and ground manners.

Registered ICHO. Foaled June 1996.

Dandee" is an extremely beautiful gelding. Gorgeous mane and tail. Only sheds out his mane to about 3 inches (great for showing!). He really likes to step out and never quits. He is very athletic and has excellent conformation. He is out of Ole Skjonsberg's breeding stock.

He is showing exceptional jumping form and will be in the winners circle with his ability and endurance. He is pictured at his first hunter show fall of 2005.

He is pretty darn honest, quick to respond to the aids, and look at his form. Tucking tight, rounding and always focused.

Once he has seen any object he will jump anything. He’s jumped barrels, tires, logs, tarps, oxers, bounces, you name it, he’ll jump it!!

He loves cross country (probably from his trail beginnings) and is very balanced. Has never crashed a jump and will go steady and true.

Pictured above in the Canadian Curly Horse Association booth at Spruce Meadows, Calgary, the largest show jumping event in the world! We showcased him there for the Curly breed.


Pictured above in one of our summer riding camps. He won all of the gymkhana events with his speed and agility.   


Above photo at Spruce Meadows where we performed the showcase of the breeds for the Curly horses. His first time there and he was excellent with all the new things that spook most horses. Donkeys, miniatures, wagons, mini trains, quads, cars, trucks, flags, you name it, it was there!!

  To our American friends who are reluctant to "cross border shop" we would like to say that we are well experienced in shipping horses into the US and would be happy to provide references about our ability to make it a trouble free experience. For example, we can get a horse to San Diego for $1,000 US all inclusive of federal vet inspection, Coggins test, brokerage, customs vet inspection and transportation.
