Glitter of Gold xx
He is one of the last foals of the great Palomino TB stallion Glitter Please who was competing at the FEI level dressage in the US.
This wonderful golden TB boy had approval on March 19 and 20 with the ZSAA. Dr. Otger Wedekind, director of the agriculture department in Hessen commented his approval as follows: "from far nobody in Germany would see a TB in him but the American TB breeders have another idea of how a TB must look like: substantial. Glitter of Gold is a stallion through and through with great masculine look but with a soft, calm and easy character - a stallion must not always be hot and difficult to handle! He is a very unique horse in his golden jacket, has a distinct shoulder, very good saddle/girth place, great round croup, moves diligent in walk, has very good and balanced trot, great gallop with very good hind end carriage, his free jumping was rhytmic and fluent, in calm manner with wonderful scope and good bascule over the jump, a performance oriented bred stallion... APPROVED". Glitter Please (aka Legs) was a true golden Palomino TB
stallion, born 1982 and purchased by
Red Fox Farm in 1997. His first full foal
crop of fourteen foals arrived in 1998: eleven out of fourteen with color!
At a full 16.3 hh, Glitter Please was the largest Palomino TB available. He
competed successfully through Int. I and completed all Grand Prix moves.
However, his promising show career was cut short by a tragic reaction to an
anesthetic during a simple dental procedure which resulted in a career
ending founder. Although his show career was over, Legs still enjoyed a
surprisingly active retirement, with breeding and an occasional appearance
at Texas stallion showcases. Legs loved people and was a pleasure to handle,
even during the exciting breeding season. Legs was a perfect example of the
Red Fox Farm desire to breed beautifully colored sporthorses without
sacrificing quality, movement, or mind.
