Notes: |
VELVET TOUCH has all the potential to be a very useful gelding - kind enough for any age rider and talented enough to be a useful show horse. He was ridden by a junior last winter, and certainly caused no problems in individual or group situations. VELVET has had lots of work on the flat and over fences, but limited showing. However, with his sensible attitude, this should not pose any problem. His personality is exceptional - he absolutely loves people. He has had some soundness issues, but these have been worked through and resolved, and radiographs will be on file to provide the confidence in his ability to proceed into an active competitive career. |
