VT Heza Sassy Bert, “Bert,” is a 2019 Palomino Foundation AQHA gelding that’s got color, dapples, and plenty of chrome.... (read more) He’s sired by Heza Shiney Kodo, a multi-time finalist in NRHA and NRBC with lifetime earnings of over $80,000. His pedigree additionally includes AQHA Leading Dam, Sheza Shinette. Bert has Doc Bar bloodlines on both his sire and dam’s sides making him an ideal prospect for western disciplines. Working with his student trainer in the Equine Youngstock Training and Marketing course, Bert has been desensitized to a variety of objects, taught to lunge at the walk and trot, stand tied, and wear a bit and saddle. He has a calm work ethic and a naturally curious personality which comes in handy during training and introducing new skills. By sale time we expect him to also load into a stock trailer. Bert is up to date on all routine health care and has no known health issues. The following paperwork will be provided in his sale portfolio: original AQHA registration, transfer of ownership form, health record with vaccine, deworming and farrier records for the past year, current Coggins, and a health certificate if traveling out of state lines.
