1997 16H ApHC STALLION             chocolate bay with blanket, blaze          peacock rump spots & lightning leg marks   The BEST of Both Breeds: a selective combination of Appaloosa and Thoroughbred blood.   Natural Athlete with Comfortable gaits + excellent form and locomotion over fences. Cherishabull  reflects Strength, Character, Agility, Courage, and Kindness with a capacity for any sporting discipline.   Affectionately known as "Magoo",  this stallion has the disposition of a cherished family pet. Many times mistaken for a gelding, he's a pleasure to be around.    He possesses the smoothest canter you'll ever want to sit, while his other paces are equally good. His cadence suggests he'd make a terrific western pleasure horse too. A nice riding horse in general.   He is very trainable and compliant.     He has won several Hunter in Hand ApHC classes. Folks at the shows are drawn to him by his size, colour, and presence. We will continue to show him in hunter/jumper divisions.               Proven Versatility & Sporthorse bloodlines: His pedigree combines some of the finest foundation Appaloosa and racing stock. Both sire and dam are 50% TB, also carrying bloodlines of a few extraordinary TBs like the French sport horse sire Bull Dog and the irrefutably influential Man O War within 5 generations. Foundation ancestors descending from Native American breeding programs include Stud Spider, Snow Cloud and the legendary racing mare Dawndee. He comes from a family of open jumpers that have often been the only spotted horses in a ring of Warmbloods and Thoroughbreds. But these horses were not just performance mounts; they were used for ranch work as well as babysitting children with bareback rides and gentle nuzzles. On holidays, their flashy coats would dazzle local parade goers, and on weekends they were reliable hunting mounts sure footed and unflappable with an elk strapped over their necks. Cherishabull's legacy is marked by this not so distant history.    Passing on his quality and notable traits to his offspring ...                                                                          Foals inherit substance, height, good bone, thick plentiful mane/tail (unlike most apps), tractable minds and good hard hooves (typical of most Apps), and of course, athleticism.        First foals arrived in 2003.                                                 Cherishabull IS (in our minds) what the Native American Appaloosa was at the breed's inception.    "The legacy of Native American breeders was this strong combination of war horse, race horse, hunting horse, and long distance mount....       LEARN MORE ABOUT APPALOOSAS click here MR.
