Elvis is an absolutely stunning 6yr 16h crossbred gelding. His DNA test said WB x (Cleveland Bay/Selle Francais/Turkoman) which is quite the mix and really I don't know how reliable those things truly might be. Regardless, that was the results from Texas A&M. I got Elvis in the early fall and have been reluctant to part with him which I am sure you can see why :) We are now bursting at the seams with horses and I feel like we have really built him into the coolest all around type you can hope to own!
This is one of those horses who truly does it all and then some! He was broke by a reining trainer. He has all the fancy broke buttons that a good reining horse would have. I mean just so so so well broke. I always feel like we have a lot of learn from good western trainers. My friend purchased him in Ocala where he was jumping around 2'6 courses in the fields and doing all the fun young horse things. He is a horse that just keeps a consistent pace to the jumps all the time. He doesn't get riled up about anything. He does do his changes but they are not auto just yet. I can see a huge career in the hunters for him.
We have been doing all the things with Elvis. Hunting, trails, dressage, xc schooling and western riding. I honestly don't feel like he is limited to any one discipline and could excel doing so many things. It truly is very hard to find an all around horse like this in my opinion.
He has spent the season foxhunting with Wicomico in first and second flight. He is an extremely reliable quiet safe hunt horse. Stands quietly at checks. Snaffle mouth. Brave. Excellent jumper. Could care less about anything.
He has been extensively trail ridden both English and Western and he is just so fun. Will lead, follow, goes on the buckle and is just fun. He is a horse you can just enjoy. He has been out xc schooling and boy this sucker can jump. He came to us later in the season but we hope to get him out competing. He is been to some dressage show and is winning at training level but obviously has the talent for so much more. We are an extremely busy sales barn so we don't do that much competing and this horse is ready to show off!
He is the type that anyone can ride. He is just such a quiet reliable horse. Throw him on the trailer and go anywhere. More of a push ride but will stay where you ask him to go.
Extremely sound, no vices, incredible feet and easy keeper. The only thing I can say that is sort of annoying is that he can be hard to catch on occasion if he doesn't know you. I can always catch him but he is a horse that can be a bit leary of strangers.
