"Turbo"
comes from several generations of gentle black giants. His sire,
grandsire and great grandsire were all extra large black stallions
with excellent bone and a UNCOMMON build. Most of the time very
large
horses lose their "crook" as they grow and get too straight up in
the backend, making them stiffer and more out behind themselves
naturally. A horse who is built out behind himself has a hard time
collecting underneath himself and striding naturally. This family of horses is very strong genetically for
their unique build - they're built underneath themselves with a
dropped hip, crooked hock and shorter lower leg than upper. The
shorter lower leg has a way of allowing the whole limb to move
forward more freely than having the reverse (think of the action of
a fulcrum.) Turbo
also has a fanastic shoulder and neck and a beautiful head with a
flat profile, prominent jaw, large eyes, broad forehead, tapered
muzzle and fluted nostrils.
He was bred, owned and loved by Tiffany Calendar and we believe that
he would have had a tremendous show career. Unfortunately, he
suffered a debilitating injury as a two year old. He nearly lost his
life, but was nursed back to health. Sadly the tendons in his rear
legs were seriously damaged and he is not riding sound.
He wasn't ridden for a very long time before coming to our farm. As
part of our evauation, we did ride him briefly, keeping in mind his
limitations and carefully monitoring him for discomfort. Despite not
having been ridden since his injury, Turbo behaved like a gentleman
should. He acted as if he hadn't missed a day of training. You can
see where he can't extend his backend due to the injury, but that
doesn't stop him from doing a true flatwalk and shaking his head.
Beauty is as beauty does, and we are very particular about
disposition. The most perfectly built, best moving horse in the
world would be useless to us without the mind and disposition to go
along with it. Turbo also has a kind, gentle disposition. He loves
people, and comes running when he sees us (a testament to both his
nature and the care he has received in his lifetime.) He'll stand
perfectly still for as long as I'll stand and groom him. He is
intelligent and observant, but not reactive. He seems to have a
desire to please and professional work ethic.
Dr. Jana Anderson graciously
allowed us the the
opportunity to stand him to our mares and are carefully selecting
the best crosses in the hopes of keeping fillies back to retain in
our breeding herd. In 2023, we plan on breeding him to the following
mares:
