Like Stormyridge Appaloosa mares, our geldings were imprinted early and have friendly dispositions, excellent conformation, and an easy way of going.  Raised high in the Rocky Mountains, where horseback riding is an integral part of life, they are fit and strong, with unusual stamina.  Calm and steady by nature, these registered Appaloosas are in different stages of training, which includes Parelli methods, and they will be equally at home on the trail, around the ranch or farm, and under saddle in the show ring.  Details specific to each gelding are provided below.

Sangre Breeze, foaled April 1996
$3500.  

Sangre's ground training started in 2002, using Parelli methods.  Saddle training began in 2003, and he was ridden by adults and young adults. Ponied on trails since he was three years old, Sangre has become a steady and sensible trail mount.  He weighs 1250 lb and stands 16.1, much larger than his sire or dam.  He is strong and has the legs and strength for jumping and dressage.

Grey Feather is one-quarter Fox-trotter. His maternal grandsire is a strong mountain horse conformation and lives here in the Wet Mountain Valley.  He comes with all the color of the Appaloosa, and the desire to please of the Fox-trotter. Recently on sunny days he is back at ground training. Halters, leads and gets along well with other horses. He gaited at birth and once under saddle he may retrieve this gait.

Harlequin, foaled September 2002.  Harley has his sire’s coloring, blue roan and white.  Mom was an older mare, and at two years he is 13.1 hands and weighs approximately 700 lb. Appaloosa Horse Club advises that Harley may qualify for Foundation Pedigree Designation.
