By 1 week old he was already showing his parents aptitude and enthusiasm for jumping! (See photos)
At 3 weeks old having been left completely unhandled since birth he was halter broken and taught to lead in preparation for loading for mare to go back to stud. The photos of him being led were taken on day 2 of 1st being handed. His temperament is quite simply truly exceptional.
And he has not been over handled or spoilt but done correctly and taught to lead, load and pick his feet up before going off to stud.
Bean’s sire is the clone Murkas Gem of the phenomenal 15.2hh 100% thoroughbred Gem Twist, who was ridden by Nick Skelton as well winning 2 silver medals at the ‘88 Seoul Olympics for The USA. In addition he won American Grand Prix Horse of the Year title no less than 3 times. In 1990 he was named “the Worlds Best Horse” at the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm.
Beans 13.2 hh dam is a JA class 1 Connemara a winner at 1.10 in Ireland who has 758 sj points.
She also showed huge aptitude and potential xc when we took her xc schooling for fun and combined with her floating paces (not the connie sewing machine!) , Enormous stride and speed against the clock, she could have equally excelled as an event pony rather than a show jumper.
For all her talent and competitiveness she is also the sweetest, easiest pony imaginable which she seems to hv passed on to bean.
Bean would make a superb pony stallion because of his temperament and as well as his unique genetics, he is completely correct but most of all we would like him to go to a home where he is really going to fulfill his undisputed potential as a proper show jumping 148 or event pony - he is certain to excel in either given the chance.
He is a very special boy and sure to make a very lucky child’s dreams come true 1 day in the right home.
