Additional Comments

Loves to jump stadium and cross-country, swim, hack outside alone or in a group, fox hunt and pace. A jack of all trades and a quick thinking sport horse that is so enjoyable to take out. Soft mouth, very adjustable stride, sensitive and quick thinking, uphill and light, very courageous with a mild spook. Schooled up to 3'6 in both stadium and cross-country, lead changes are consistent. He's competed in several smaller shows (up to 2'6) in both hunters/jumpers, placing as Champion in the 0.... (read more) 9m Jumpers at the Dutchess County Fair and attaining 2nd place at the Tatra Farm 0.9m jumper competition. He's paced cross country (Weathersfield pace, Rombout pace, Landmanskill pace, CS&W Farm pace) several times and thoroughly enjoys it. Additionally, he has joined the Rombout Fox hunt twice and was a gentleman, jumping everything respectfully without chasing the other horses. Suitable for an experienced intermediate rider working with a trainer.

Retired from racing after 3 uncompetitive starts with clean legs and no limitations. He was put on the back-burner for 2 years and allowed to mature where he's been the picture of health on our farm. No issues with his feet, lameness, or colic. Veterinarian flexion tests after heavy exercise/work load have been excellent.

We have several video's available on YouTube (Diamond Notch Farms) under his playlist "Good by me, Atlas".
