Ben Nevis

Quarter Horse x Thoroughbred gelding
"Benny"

I bought Benny in 1992 and owned him for 2 years. He started out life as someone's backyard field hunter. He was about 5 at the time, and was about 15.3h. He grew 4 inches in those 2 years, and he was just too big for me (and that 14-foot canter stride was more than I bargained for).

I sold him to a jumper rider after discovering that his talent was for jumping and not dressage. He wasn't really into that collection thing—galloping and jumping was much more fun!
