TripTheLightFantastic was born April 27, 2011.   He is a beautiful bay gelding with large strong joints and substantial bone structure. He currently measures 17.2 hands and has more growing to do. This young prospect has floating gaits and natural elasticity and suspension. He may well be the best we have bred at Wildest Expectations Farm! The bloodlines on both the Sire and Dam side are extremely impressive with international Grand Prix horses on top and bottom of his pedigree. There are no gaps left to be filled in this fantastic young horse’s bloodlines.  He would be an excellent prospect for either jumping or dressage. His disposition is perfect for an amateur rider. He is under saddle and his talent should be more than suitable for a professional who wants to go the distance!
