Crackin' Good, 2006 IDSH gelding

from our wonderful sabino roan Thoroughbred mare Pet (I. B. Paranoide)

and sired by the RID stallion Snowford O'Donnell

A flashy shaded bay with extensive sabino roaning/speckling and rabicano characteristics, Crackin' Good is a super athlete! He is balanced, bold, forward, light and correct, and has three extraordinary gaits.

This colt is a very sensitive, sometimes reactive youngster, who needs the kind, steady hand and quiet guidance of a confident rider to do his best - which he always wants to do for you. He has been somewhat slow to mature emotionally, and is sometimes easily distracted, but he learns very quickly and remembers his lessons well. He loves all people, but needs a human who will build his trust and not let him down - then he will walk through fire for you. We consider him to be an outstanding performance prospect for someone with the tact to understand him and a huge heart to match his.
