1994 TB gelding 17.1 hh    pedigree

We got Colorado as an unbroke six year old.  Due to injury he had never been trained for racing. His hind leg was only 30% the size of the other.  Stephanie started him, and then John took over.  Within three months, Colorado and John were jumping like crazies and he was on his way to recovery.  Although against the odds, Colorado was able to enjoy the sport of eventing and was able to compete at the preliminary level before retiring.  He is now enjoying the hunter/jumper circuit and some novice eventing with his adult amateur rider.  See his 2011 results.

The key hole - 3 months training!                Born to jump.

wasn't always fun and games!                                                        usually was.                                                                                Sometimes even dressage was fun.

No more swimming                                                                                                                Loving retirement
