Gatsby Horse @ Auction Broker

I'd noticed this boy last week and posted him out on my Facebook and since reading Adventures in Colt Filly Starting's post today I feel I should throw out his information for others in my area who are close and may want him.  (As for me, I have not the money or the time this boy deserves at this point in my life.)  His name is Granville.  They are offering him up for $6,000.  I hope he finds the home he deserves, the horse market these days is very sad.  As a friend stated the other day, "I wish people could be more responsible and not breed everything that has a uterus or balls", crude, but so, so true.

From AC4H.com:

11-15-6 - Bay Warmblood gelding blaze 3 white socks approx 16.1 hands and 6 or 7 years old w/t/c takes a jump branded back hip which looks like a RPSI/Rheinland brand.  Reportedly wound up here because the owner didn't pay board - we do not have the papers yet so placing without them.  They do have proof of purchase for horse.

With the amount of inquiries we don't know how to offer him fairly to everyone.  He is an opportunity of a lifetime and a fraction of what they sell for.  They have decided to still allow our clients the opportunity to purchase him rather than sell him through their other outlets that deal in/specialize in higher priced horses. 

Just in received information that this horses sire is Gatsby and his name is Granville.

Color: blk/br Height: 17.0

Gatsby pedigree picture and infohttp://www.allbreedpedigree.com/gatsby3 passed the 100 day stallion performance test in 2007 held at Paxton Farm in Batavia, OH. Gatsby is approved for breeding in the BWP, CWHBA, RPSI, and Old/NA & ISR. In what the judges called, \\The best class of stallions ever,\\ Gatsby scored a 9 for character, 8 for temperament, 8 for willingness to work and 8 for general jumping aptitude.

Available we have had many inquiries  Reinlands typically are very expensive jumping horses usually commanding a 20 - 50 thousand dollar price tag.
