Goose is a 2022 AQHA/APHA gelding. His sire, DGS The Entertainer, achieved Top Ten in Hunter Under Saddle at both APHA & NSBA World Shows as well as Reserve World Champion in Open Hunter.... (read more) His grandsire, HBF Iron Man, is a five time World Champion in Hunter Under Saddle and Western Pleasure, and sire to AQHA, APHA and NSBA World Champions. Goose is a descendent of Indian Artifacts who was an AQHA World Champion, AQHA Superior Earner, and Congress Reserve Champion. Other notable bloodlines include Invitation Only, AQHA All Time Leading Sire of Point Earner and sire of 210 World, Congress, and Reserve Champions. Goose’s dam is a granddaughter to A.P Indy, a Breeder’s cup and Belmont stakes winner. Double Dutch is a descendent of Secretariat, who is widely known as a Triple Crown Champion. Other notable bloodlines of his dam include Mr. Prospector, who has sired 181 stakes winners including winners of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

This good-natured yearling is a part of our Equine Youngstock Training and Marketing course and has been desensitized to many novel stimuli and obstacles. Goose stands calmly for tying, picking up feet and grooming. He was been taught to cross a wide array of footings such as wooden platforms and tarps and loads into a stock type trailer. By the time of sale we anticipate he will additionally carry a saddle and wear a bridle, as well as lunge at the walk, trot, and canter.

The following paperwork will be provided in his sale portfolio: AQHA and APHA registration papers, health record with vaccine, deworming and farrier records since birth, current Coggins, and a health certificate if traveling out of state lines.
