I wanted a foal by Vitalis after seeing him on TV at the Westphalian stallion licensing. Vinnie is all I could have hope for.
Birth report:
Vinny was born at 11 pm, but Shirlene decided she needed to nap, so he didn't get a good drink until 2 am after I went out to the barn in my muckers and pj's and got her to stand up! All was fine- IgG was perfect.
He is really beautiful and he can move!
SOLD!Congratulations to Crystal of MA!
Vhiognier ("Vinny") is under saddle and gaining confidence under his new rider, RSF trainer Jocelyn Kraenzle. He is very beautiful, has correct conformation and movement, and three super gaits. We will keep posting videos as his training progresses.New video May 28, 2020 after a hoof abscess kept him out of work for a while:
