Foaled Oct 22 2011.
Sorrel filly
Her sire is Chocolate Venture
Her dam is Unbridled by Maple’s Squirrel
Eclipse has never been ridden and had a minimum of handling. She is not washed and cleaned in this picture. She has been in the barn for 7 days. The day I got her in was extremely cold. The last 5 days have been spent teaching her what any yearling should know. She was in the round pen for only a few days last Spring and she responded very well. I am showing her to you for several reasons:
She is sorrel
Because she is sorrel Mary Lipginski and I desire to promote the color and get her ready for the show ring
She has never been ridden
She is very sensitive
I want to promote the Sorrel and Chestnut horses, it is time for the breed to tie these horses based on performance instead of drifting to favored colors of Mountain Horses in the show ring. Some reading this may disagree that Sorrel horses don't fare as well in the show ring but, many well known horsemen in the Mountain Horse disipline privately agree with this issue.
Some of the best horses in the breed are Sorrell or Chestnut, Triple S Iron Man, Smith’s Ginger, Sonny, Cheek’s Rocky to name a few
I am 65 years old and I want to show you that with the right method I can place her under saddle, get her certified, and show her. If you are my near contempary I want you to understand that it is possible for folks our age to get horses started. So follow the posts you see about Eclipse to watch her progress. I will have more pictures along the way and some videos also.
