Bluegrass Geronimo update
On the 19th of September we received an email from Jess..........
daughter of Sue Blake, who purchased
BLUEGRASS GERONIMO
{D'Amors Saabi-Khan x Bluegrass Succession}.
 
"Thought you might like an update on Geronimo. He is being broken in this week and was ridden for the first time on Saturday.
 
We a very proud of him. He didn't put a foot wrong and he was so quiet! Not once did he look like bucking or rearing or taking off. He took it all in his stride. Hopefully I will be riding him next week and I'm looking forward to taking him to a few local shows this summer. He has been so well behaved on the ground now. The man that is braking him in for us commented that he has been one of the easiest horses he has ever done and by far the best Arabian.
 
There should be some photos coming soon if you would
like me to email some through.
 
Thankyou for a marvelous horse!"
 
Thank you very much for sending this
news through Jess........
and yes would love to see the photos !!

"Saadiya is a fabulous little mare.  She is with a good friend so it is nice to see her trotting around town doing her training.  I've attached a picture of her in the vet ring holding her vet card which I thought you might like to see. "
THANK YOU for the update Nikki and certainly look forward to more.
