Tulip

I’m excited to introduce you to Tulip. Tulip is nothing short of stellar in every possible way. She stands 16.3hh at 3 years old and is the most beautiful steel grey color that you will see. She has beautiful conformation to match her color, strong bones, a well developed top line, and solid hooves. Tulip is the definition of what a sport horse should be. Her mom is a Percheron and her sire is Beau Gesta by Contango. The Oldenburg lines are nothing short of exceptional. When you cross this with a percheron, you truly get the best of both worlds; the size, the sensibility, the athleticism, attitude, confirmation, and movement. I have owned many of her siblings, who have matured to be exceptional show horses in dressage, hunters, fox hunting, and eventing. Back to Tulip, this mare is like riding a couch! She has 3 lovely gaits, a ground covering walk, a floaty trot, and the most rhythmical canter you will ever dream of in a 3 year old. She has natural flying changes both directions. You could spend thousands of dollars in training on a different horse attempting what comes very natural to her. Tulip is soft and light in your hand, moves on and off seat and leg with ease, and is very supple in her movements. She knows all lateral movements. Tulip is so in-tune with her rider you can pull the bridle off and walk trot canter even pop over a jump using just your seat and leg. This mare is sharp as a tack but yet gentle as a kitten. She’s also started over fences and jumps around in a natural hunter rhythm. She’s schooling approximately 2’3” to 2ft 6” as we have started slow due to size and age. She will be someone’s 3’6” horse in no time. To add to her resume, this girl has lots of miles on the trails and woods, water, brush, and wild life are all no problem! She’s attended a few hunter paces and shows potential as a top hunt horse. Tulip has also carried the flag in a local parade and she takes commotion in stride. She’s been exposed to tarps, balls, and even a blow up T-Rex and let me tell you, T-Rex can spook some of the calmest horses. I can go on for hours about how fantastic she is but I’ll stop here so you can enjoy the video, as she speaks volumes for herself. This video features multiple rides from professionals, to kids, to one into western! You do not have to be a professional to get along with her! She is eager, willing to please, and will take a joke. Lastly, this beautiful girl would be a prime addition to a breeding program as she will produce top sport horse babies. Please call Ellesse 248-390-6831 to talk.
