This past weekend, I took 3 year old (turns 4 in April) Finnegan for training at Prestige Training, LLC under the guidance of Jim Moore who praised his balance and brain as well as his solid foundation.
I’m tempted to keep him and ride him in eventing and dressage. He’s just a super nice horse!

CFS Finnegan was bred for sport! Jumping, dressage, eventing, hunting— he could do it all!

2020 Handsome, athletic Knabstrupper registered and inspected. Graded “Premium” with 9 overall and best young horse.
Finnegan has 3 impressive gaits, naturally very athletic, his movement is floaty and with incredible suspension.
He is a rideable young horse with scope to compete with an ambitious AA or a Pro. He would do excellent in any discipline-balanced and sure footed, long graceful legs to make fancy moves in the dressage arena, but also very aware of his feet- pops over 2’6 without a question.
16.2-3, some growth expected. He has excellent feet, wide and strong. Barefoot all around.
Finn was foaled with one spot on his hind quarters, but has developed more of the iconic spots over the past two years. He is everyone’s favorite bay show color - with tons of chrome!

Finnegan is a barn favorite, playful and sweet. Meets you at the gate. Great for vet, farrier, loads, bathes, ties.
He was started under saddle with 90 days, and is being maintained this winter with some lite handling and flat work.
Ready to move onto his new home and find his person.

Sire: The Monarch, KNN
Dam: Love is Here, OLD/KNN inspected TB mare

Watching my young horses in training is so rewarding!

Finnegan has been home a few days from his training, and we are getting to know one another as riding partners.
Having a 3 year old horse reinforces all the basic rules of riding.
It forces you to be accountable in your riding because you’re responsible to be clear and fair with your legs, seat and hands.

Finn has been quite amazing in his acceptance of my aides and we are moving with relaxation together. He’s a tall boy, but from the saddle he is just right and feels amazing.

We’ve only just begun-and I love it!

Some great captures of my young 3 yo finishing up his training and summer vacation!
He looks so nice! Thanks Skye High Equestrian, LLC - Laura DeAngelo and Philip Hatfield for all the great work on him!

Valkyrie 2 years old and Kosmos 1 year old, sharing a bite together. These two are full siblings a year apart.

06/22/2023

It’s been a busy month for Finnegan being in full time training! He’s a super nice horse with exceptional movement and balance for a young horse.

I have reconsidered keeping him around the farm and investing in some additional training for him. Maybe this is my cue to do some eventing. He quite a special dude.
Need a trainer to get us there!

Finnegan exploring some new things today. I try to show him different questions and he can check it out calmly. This boy has courage beyond his years!

Piper and Ceres looked so beautiful in the morning light.

It’s amazing how much a horse grows in the first two years!
This is Belle (on the right) and her 19 month old daughter Maeve.
Maeve is an Irish Draught Sporthorse crossed Knabstrupper. Hence the spots 😊
Maeve has all the big features that I love about IDs, she’s on her way to being quite a big mare. Her hocks and shoulders are massive!
