Powerful, handsome, and incredibly uphill, I am truly blessed to have this gorgeous IALHA-registered Andalusian cross gelding for my partner.

Grady stands 16+ hands tall, and is eleven years old.  He came to Stoney Wood Friesians in August 2007.  Prior to his arrival here, he won in-hand classes for best movement at IALHA regional shows in 2004 and 2005. In 2005 he was grand champion half Andalusian in hand.  In 2006 he made his debut in English pleasure and placed well.

I am been having the time of my life riding Grady out on the trails!  This summer, we attended poker rides at Skillman camp and Uncle Toms' cabin.  We also participated in the 2008 Pony Express re-enactment at Kyburz.  We have been covering lots of ground at Folsom Lake, Hidden Falls, Traylor Ranch and of course, Euer Valley!  

Grady's original owner, Gary Epp,  told me "that horse will take you anywhere you have the guts to go".  He couldn't be more accurate!  Grady is the most incredible horse I've ever owned.  I enjoy every ride and every minute I spend with this horse.    There are so many adventures yet to come....
