Colossal is a registered 8 year-old Canadian Gelding (gelded May 2023) who was born destined for the show ring. His presence, conformation, temperament, athleticism and outstanding gaits were quite apparent even as a yearling. I have owned him since he turned two (June 2016). Temperament: He is mellow and kind. No problem with running heavy machinery by him he’s always loved things to see and process. He leads, ties, baths, trailers beautifully, and is great for the farrier. No problems with spray bottles hoses or bodies of water. Training: He has been in professional training for the past 7 months on a work schedule of dressage and jumping alternating for 5 days a week. He was started under saddle as a 3 year old, very lightly and worked up to regular training on and off. He got a few months of rest periodically as I seem to be able to ride lots for a while then have no time. So he got time to be a horse and relax, turned out with his best friend. Showing: His show record doesn’t exceed small town shows due to time and costs), however as a young stallion he won many awards such as “Supreme Canadian” and “Champion Stallion” at the Canadian Horse Showcase here on Vancouver Island. He won in hand 2nd Place at a fair showcasing Canadian horses locally. He settles into busy show environments with ease and takes everything in stride. Not much seems to phase him. Aside from showing, he has been in countless clinics and training seminars, always presenting his breed so well people don’t even know what he is. Clinicians and judges love him. He is always up to date on vaccinations, worming, farrier. He was shod for training, but since having been gelded and returned home I have pulled his shoes and had always lived his life barefoot with no issues. Big beautiful strong and healthy Canadian feet. Price: $25,000 CAD.
