He is big enough, but he’s not overly big to where he’s unathletic. He’s got a great mind. He’s not a pushover; he’s not a pet. He’s very energetic, but he takes good care of himself.

I). “He’s a medium-sized horse with real good balance, and he’s also a great mover. When you see him, you really like him, but then when you see him move, it’s like he goes to the top of the class. He’s really an exciting horse.”

That’s the impression I have of him. He’s just glorious to be around. For a big horse, he’s very quiet when he walks. He’s very agile and light on his feet.”

Really like #199, but we have always had a sweet spot for the Gulch line.

You do realize he is rich...right?

Having a credit dispute is totally different from not having money.

Rich people don't handle bills like us working class folks.

You kinda get the "fever" at these sales. I was hoping that 199 was going under the radar as it seemed like we were the only ones looking but he popped up over 300 pretty quick. I wish I could win the lottery....lol
