Flying Bandalore is a Welsh Quarterhorse crossbred gelding and son of USEF/AHSA/WPCSA Grand National Champion Horse of the year Shenandoah Gamekeeper. His dam Three Star Codet (AQHA) is daughter of World Reining Champion and National Hunter Champion stallion Three Star Cody. Bandalore AKA BamBam (kids given nickname) is a solid citizen, predictibly dependable fellow. His kids love him. He readily transitions between leadline riders to mini-stirrup beginners to short stirrup to medium hunter. He’s eligible green with championship ribbons in NE Pa shows and in 4-H. He’s been ridden with wild buffalo in the Badlands of South Dakota, in moose country in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in cougar country in Custer State Park, in Grizzly Bear territory in Yellowstone National Park, and on a 1200 head cattle drive in Montana helping move the Huntsman Ranch Company beef cows and calves toward the lush grazing fields in Centennial Valley.

Flying Toblerone is a Welsh Thoroughbred crossbred gelding and son of USEF/AHSA/WPCSA Grand National Champion Horse of the Year Shenandoah Gamekeeper. He is fabulous with young beginner riders as demonstrated in his videos. He has schooled off premises very nicely. He spent a winter utilizing an indoor arena and giving first lessons to leadliners and a walk-trot beginner. Rather than trailering him home, a teen friend and I trail rode back to the farm, riding down Main Street Dalton, Pa, underneath Route 6 & Route 11, by myriads of barking dogs, over open grate bridges in totally unfamiliar territory for Toblerone. He never took a spooked step, though he wasn’t convinced the open grate bridges were trustworthy.

Flying Antebellium is a Welsh Thoroughbred crossbred mare and daughter of USEF/AHSA/WPCSA Grand National Champion Horse of the Year Shenandoah Gamekeeper. She is solid with a gentle and kind temperament. She is getting back into work after haing a few years off as a broodmare. She is lovely to ride and quiet on secondary roads, in the woods, over water crossings, and in light traffic.
