Gatsby
is by the elite Hanoverian stallion, Gonzo I.
Gonzo was America
's most requested Hanoverian stallion between 1995-1997.
Gonzo was a successful Grand Prix show jumper, an amazing
Puissance horse, topping the 7'2" wall on several occasions,
and competed successfully through 4th level dressage.
With athleticism, work ethic, and intelligence, Gatsby continues
the famous legacy of Gotthard, Gepard, and Gonzo, proving the
great value of his heritage. |
Gatsby
is an excellent sire! He
improves a wide variety of different types of mares and stamps his
excellent qualities on his offspring with amazing consistency. |
|
CONFORMATION:
Gatsby tends to pass on his uphill build, long legs,
substantial bone and substance, his neck and topline, beautiful
head, big shoulder, and strong loin
connection. Not only
will Gatsby typically add substance to lighter mares, but because
of his modern type, he will also refine heavier mares.
MOVEMENT:
Gatsby’s foals tend to inherit his beautiful suspension,
natural uphill balance & cadence, great shoulder freedom, and
excellent canter. Gatsby,
himself, is very elegant, light, sensitive, and forward and his
foals are excellent movers as well.
JUMPING:
Time and time again we hear reports from foal owners about
their foals’ propensity to jump anything and everything in their
way with ease, natural talent, and great form.
Several foal owners have reported that their Gatsby
offspring will take every opportunity to jump, whether in the
pasture or in an arena, just for the fun of it.
MIND
& TEMPERAMENT:
One of Gatsby’s hallmark traits is his outstanding mind,
which is marked by a gentle, sweet disposition, an excellent work
ethic, and an incredibly high degree of trainability and
willingness. Because
of the somewhat unpredictable nature of breeding in general,
it’s obvious that both parents offer their unique traits to
their offspring. However,
many, many, MANY of Gatsby’s foal owners acknowledge that
their foals have inherited Gatsby’s mind and temperament, even
when these qualities were lacking in their mares.
These
traits that Gatsby so readily passes on are important for all
the Sporthorse disciplines.
They are equally important for the Warmblood mare as they
are for a Thoroughbred. Read
what one European Keuring judge has to say about the influence
of bloodlines and traits like Gatsby’s on Sporthorse breeding
in
North America:
"In
general for the Thoroughbred mares you should use a stallion with
proven bloodlines and
genetics. If possible a modern type, solid in bone and conformation
but not too heterogeneous (not having too much variety or dissimilar types) in his
pedigree. Especially for that specific mare (medium sized and
light in bone, maybe not uphill) you should be sure that the
stallion produces long legs, good shoulders and uphill-built
offspring. Especially for the TB mares you have to look for a
stallion that has a good or very good walk with overreach and
rhythm. Some TB in the stallion's pedigree is not a problem - if
the stallion is solid in bone and conformation. A good topline
is important, with good muscles and a big shoulder.
The Hanoverian G line is good for this…"
[Gatsby
is Hanoverian G line] ...A
lot of "hot," "modern," "in the
press" stallions are well promoted but not always the
gene
tic solid type for the TB cross."

 Gatsby
stood to another full book in 2009. He consistently
produces outstanding foals out of a variety of different mares. Gatsby
stamps his foals with great bone, size, conformation,
athleticism, refinement, and consistently amazing
temperaments, making him an excellent choice for amateurs or professionals in any sporthorse discipline.
Gatsby not
only turns heads with his beauty and presence, but he steals
hearts wherever he goes, whether in training, grooming, or just
working around him in the barn. He is a perfect gentleman
when he is around people and horses alike. Most riders
want a horse that is not only talented, but fun and safe too.
The story remains consistent - people love their Gatsby babies
and are hailing them as the most beautiful, talented, trainable,
and sweet horses they've ever had.
We are
looking forward to hearing more about the accomplishments of
Gatsby's offspring as they get older and start launching their
competition careers. Below are some of the achievements
reached thus far by his foals. |
