For your consideration, Franklin’s Half Dollar, aka Frank, aka Frank the Tank, aka the grey Teddy O’Connor. 2015 model, QH cross, Gelding. He has all the acronyms USEF, USHJA, USEA, & USDF on top of a permanent large pony card with the biggest barrel. The owner is 5’9 and he takes up your leg no matter how tall, weighing in at 1k lbs. True unicorn - one that can do it all, minus not a huge fan of the hunters. Like Ricky Bobby, he likes to go fast but elegant enough to do Dressage. Eventer from the bottom of his heart but is also highly competitive in the jumper ring, always making the horse step, 2 strides, in and outs, no problem. Not for the beginner beginner, but he knows exactly who is riding. From the tiny brave kid to adult ammy to pro ride, he adjusts to who’s on his back and will step up to the 3 ft+ or do the cross rails to a 2ft job all day long. He is not hot but forward and carries his own motor. Frank does all the things trailers like a champ, ties, and turns out with a mixed herd. He has a change and always gets it when balanced, but it is not 100% auto for the beginner.

Brave in any situation you put him in; you can ride this pony into a hurricane carrying a sword, and he would still jump through fire for you. Started western, so he’s good with cows, donkeys, dogs, ranch work, etc. Spent 4 months of intensive board & train Dressage only training. Schooling BN/N and a few training jumps XC with plenty of room to spare, brave to banks, coffins, ditches, water, and trakehners, nothing on XC flusters him. Shown 3ft, schooling consistently 1M+, and haven’t maxed out height yet. Will trail ride alone, or in a group, bareback in a halter. Same horse at home or away, no prep ready to show.

No maintenance, easiest keeper, gets chunky off looking at food. Big personality, brilliant, but he can take a joke. Has turned into the packer type for someone learning to jump who likes a forward ride. Will not run off; just sit back and let him fly. Shown thoroughly throughout Texas, NM and OK in the A & AA HJ show circuit, completed 2 schooling Horse Trials, placing top 4.

He has his own Insta - Franklins_Half_Dollar, with lots of fans, and all of his videos and accomplishments are listed. Offering at mid 5’s - currently located in Amarillo, TX, available to be tried at the Autumn Classic at GSWEC, Katy, TX Nov 8-12 and at the Split Rock Jumping Tour at Fort Worth International CSI4* Dec 13-17.
