Dam is a black-type stakes placed mare. She ran in 22 races over the course of three years and earned over $100K. Her oldest foal was still racing at age 6. She retired sound and has been brought back under saddle this year with her out of shape amateur rider! She's a very energetic type coupled with the most sensible mind.

UPDATE: Added racing record, catalog page & INSPECTION SCORESHEET for the dam!

UPDATE: Dam Barbarees Hill was approved to the Main Mare Book of the GOV.

Bourgault is a serious jumper prospect adapted to today's more technical and fast courses, his high Thoroughbred blood and Selle-Français influences, with a touch of classic Hanoverian G-line, will provide for a reliable, and reactive jumper. His sire is known for his great temperament and his foals and his dam is the most professional, workmanlike lady ever.

Otherwise, if eventing is your thing, clearly, he also has all it takes. His movement is correct and lofty enough for dressage, yet, you won't run out of jump either over those solid fences. Today's high level events are often won on the dressage score, you can't afford that rail!

Bourgault is incredibly friendly and bold. Very energetic, he is light footed and athletic. He plays with his flying changes in the field, will jump anything in sight.

Bourgault leads at walk and trot, picks-up his feet and is good to load as well as with the farrier. He stands quietly in the crossties while getting his mane pulled and socks cleaned. He can live in or out and is used to being blanketed.

UPDATE: Bourgault E. M. shipped very well to his inspection, he was very good to bath and good to braid.

UPDATE: Bourgault is now weaned and good to go! He wore his first blanket last night as well and behaved like he had done so his entire life.

UPDATE: Bourgault has been gelded and reinserted in a mix group with success.

UPDATE: Bourgault's price has been reduced for a very limited time to a show home. We have many projects and this guy needs to be out there making a name for himself! :)
