We still have Broadchurch and he is just the best boy! He would make someone a perfect “first” stallion and has excellent manners in public.
I really can’t say enough good things about this stallion.
Bandera Broadchurch came home as a yearling. I started showing him at age 2 and he showed as a 3 and 4 year old also. He has points in halter and performance and about a year and a half of saddle training. He is super sweet and very very well behaved and easy to handle. He has been 100% amateur shown, including by novice amateurs who don’t handle horses much, and the vast majority of his training has been by amateurs. He is an excellent amateur or first stallion. He clips, bathes, travels well, and does all the show horse stuff.
He gets along with everyone and I trailer him right next to other stallions and mares. He pastures with several other stallions and colts without a problem. At shows he ignores stallions and mares and in fact I can hold him and another stallion at the same time if needed.
Broadchurch has been to Nationals and placed fourth in his halter class.
He has four foals on the ground and they have all been thick with lovely dispositions.
I would never let this wonderful boy go except I own his uncle and two cousins, so his bloodlines are fairly redundant in my herd and I don’t like breeding closely related horses. I also have a lot of stallions to show and this guy loves travelling and he tends to go on the backburner. He really needs his own person who wants a nice using stallion that enjoys having a job and is easy to own.
He hasn’t been ridden much in the last couple years, so would need a few weeks of tune up before hitting the show ring. That said, I can hop right on him any time and he is totally safe to ride, he is just out of shape and because of that, kind of lazy. I've been on him a couple of times this year and he is fun with an excellent trot but needs more consistent work to get back in shape.
Broadchurch is a Lion King grandson and a son of Hermit's Rockytop, so he has some excellent pedgree!
He is super easy for me to keep around so I don’t mind taking payments for a while if needed.
We are in Isanti, Minnesota
