Description:
Pablo is 12.5% Thoroughbred, making him an Appendix Quarter Horse, and we cannot say enough good about what hybrid vigor has done to create the ultimate performance horse in Pablo. We lovingly refer to him as the "Tom Cat" because of his huge square jaws and his curious, playful personality. This horse is easy to catch anywhere, has been collected for AI and will breed live cover (pasture and in-hand) as well. He stands tied in the barn next to mares without drama, knowing his job in each moment and conducting himself accordingly. We have rode him on trails and in the arena, he is insanely smart and athletic and he passes those traits onto his colts. He has produced 100% buckskin foals for us in the past and no matter what mare we cross him on he has produced correct, shapey colts with tons of color.Pablo is a phenomenal ride. He can sit for years and come back into work as if he's been working every day. In the off-season, Pablo lives out with geldings and you'd never know he was intact based on his conduct in the pasture. This incredible animal is 100% sound in every way, sane, gentle, kind, smart, a true gentleman. He is disease tested negative across the board (GBED, HERDA, HYPP, IMM, MH, PSSM, SCC), already approved for progeny registration through multiple other registries (APHA and ApHC among others).Pablo has received nothing but the best care and he's ready to go to work in any program. We are offering him as a stallion in the hopes that another facility can continue to use him and pass his bloodlines, personality, and brains to the next generation of colts but I have no doubt that if he were to be castrated, he'd enjoy life as a gelding and be someone's once-in-a-lifetime performance or pleasure horse as well.We are offering him as a stallion with the hopes of seeing him used in another breeding program but if someone were to geld him, he would make a once-in-a-lifetime pleasure horse also. If a prospective buyer is interested in purchasing him with intent to castrate, we are happy to assist with facilitating the procedure and after-care to include continued training and acclimation to life as a gelding if desired.SIRE TO: SVF Goodandperfect Gift (2024) SVF Speck in your Eye (2024) SVF True to the Faith (2024) SVF New Every Morning (2024) Unnamed 2024 Colt (out of Designs by Bo) SVF Fear Not (2024) Unnamed 2025 Colt (out of grade Paint mare) ...and more.Offered by: Spring Valley Farm 1191 Horseshoe Bend Road, Moneta, Virginia 24121 (540) 685-3249 www.svhorsefarm.com springvalleyfarmandcabins@gmail.com
