(read more) Vested Pine has produced World Champions, Reserve World Champions, and AQHA champions, including Hall of Fame Inductee and Horse of the Year, Vested Faith. Echo’s dam, CU Got My Invitation, is a granddaughter of the famous Invitation Only who is an AQHA All Time Leading Sire of Point Earners and NSBA Hall of Famer. Invitation Only additionally sired 210 World, Congress, and Reserve Champions. These impeccable bloodlines hold a lot of promise for her future show career. Echo currently has siblings showing and earning ribbons in Western Pleasure and multiple English disciplines.

This remarkable and friendly 2 year-old is a part of our Equine Youngstock Training and Marketing course. She lunges at the walk, trot, and canter with both English & Western tack. By sale time, we anticipate she will also lunge in a bridle. She quietly bathes, ties, trots in hand and loads onto a stock type trailer. She has mastered obstacles such as tarps and raised platforms. Our program focuses on groundwork so she has not yet carried a rider but is ready to start her career under saddle.

The following paperwork will be provided in her sale portfolio: A AQHA registration papers, health record with vaccine, deworming and farrier records since birth, a letter from our vets detailing any significant prior injuries, current Coggins, and a health certificate if traveling out of state lines.
