Secret Hope is a paternal great granddaughter of SECRETARAT . Her sire [deceased] was a phenomenal Welsh/Belgum stallion. She has an outstanding colt by her side [pictured below at 5 months], proof of her quality as a broodmare and her genetic background. He is advertised here....http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-26142...and another view can be seen here.... http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-26147 :... This little tough mare would make a great sportshorse, but for now, she is back in foal to the same sire as her present weanling which is 1/4 Trakehner [paternal granddam is pictured here: ....http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-23790...,
she has inherited the genetic material from her parents to produce outstanding ponies/small horses. If interested, I could offer her together with her colt as a package deal before the colt is weaned ... This colt will do well on the line for now.
Check out the mare's lovely full sister here...........http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-24082....The website above shows the pedigree of their registered TB mare, Hope To Glory, and if you are familiar with TBs, you will see lots of top athletes in her pedigree, and she acts the part and passes on her qualities to her babies every time. Have lots of pictures of Hope to Glory's other babies as well. ' Secret Hope' has not been started under saddle, but she had ample handling since she was born and raised here, and I'm presently working on backing her, as the coming months are a good time to start her under saddle. She's a healthy and tough little mare, but is presently bleached out and somewhat underweight due to heavy nursing. The picture is proof that she was in excellent shape when her baby was born earlier this year. She normally is an excellent keeper, and should pick up again very rapidly after weaning.
