“Phord” is by Silver Creek’s Validation (Vallado /Lansing / Capitol I) a proven producer of sporty, athletic, willing foals. Phord's dam Saphena is a proven producer of athletic, amateur friendly foals. Saphena is an unraced TB with Argentinian Sporthorse bloodlines who competed in Hunter/Jumpers and eventing. She is honest, forgiving and brave in the ring and out on XC. Phena passes theses characteristics onto her offspring, teaching them to be patient and kind as well as obedient and disciplined.

Phord was bred to be an all around competitor suitable for an amateur but with enough scope and grit to excel at the highest level. Phord has already proven his worth at 6 months of age by causally jumping out of his 5ft tall stall when he felt it was his time for turnout. He has been exposed to all kinds of farm chaos and creatures and often plays ball with the Dobermans. He leads, loads, trailers and ties and stands calmly for the farrier and vet procedures. And he is going to be a gorgeous grey just like his daddy. What more could you hope for in a future partner?

The Holsteiner, Dutch, TB cross is known to produce leggy, sporty athletes that excel in jumping and eventing and have the mind and heart and stamina to succeed at the upper levels. While owning and riding an exceptional athlete is rewarding, riding a horse that has the correct foundation and impeccable character of an Aramat baby is priceless. With his sire’s heavy competition schedule, Validation semen is not easy to come by. This is your chance to get a Validation baby that is already on the ground and who has been well handled and started. Reasonably priced at $8500 including castration, vaccinations, deworming and microchipping.
