AQHA registration: 4567264
HYPP: N/N
Photo at right: July 2006, 27 months
Trained by Amanda Mayers
Photo below: February 2006, 22 months
Started by Clara Vaughn, age 14
As of September 2006
Height: 15' 0"
As of July 06, Quest had about a month of professional training, and is progressing well. He has a nice jog trot, trotting over poles and in tight circles, and is carrying his head like a show horse at the jog. He'll take both leads at the lope, and is quite good at whoa and back up. He's getting light on the snaffle bit, and is beginning to move off the rider's leg to steer. You can see this on a video we took of him, taken on his ninth ride with the trainer (following about a dozen short rides here at the farm, done by our daughter, who started him.) Amanda, the trainer, is pleased with his quiet attitude and athleticism.
Video-CD is available by mail on request.

On the ground, Quest is really easy. He's not bothered by clippers, he'll load and back out of a trailer, and likes being rinsed with the hose. The farrier was so impressed when he got his first set of shoes. "That's the nicest two-year-old I've ever shod," he said, pointing out that Quest never tried to pull even one foot away from him, and certainly did not get nervous or upset.
We took Quest to an open show and he handled the situation very well. Amanda rode him all over the grounds and in the ring. He stayed focused on her, remembered everything she had taught him at home, and didn't get excited or upset. He definitely has the quiet disposition that makes going to shows a pleasure.
In short, Quest is showing many of the same characteristics his sister Topnotch Cadence (see home page) did at that same age. With similar genetics, similar movement, and definitely a similar attitude and trainability, Quest should do well in the show pen, and will probably have the right disposition for a youth rider.
On the day the photo at right was taken, Quest was six
months old. He
cooperated
beautifully. He was led away from the other horses to a good spot in
the middle of the pasture, then stood up square and quietly held still
for the
photos, even though he'd never been asked to do that. Later he got a
first lesson in longing, and caught on quickly, walking and trotting in
both directions. Then we tried out the clippers, and he wasn't scared
of them at all. He stood nicely for a bridle path clip, and didn't mind
buzzing on his ears or muzzle either.
