Spirit is one of the last offspring of the legendary Johnsons Toby, known for his magnificent gait. On maternal side, Spirit has many well-known siblings in Kentucky as The Right Stuff and Gilpins Southern Comfort. Spirit is a phenomenally gaited horse with a locked-in 4 beat, able to execute to a high speed. Maybe unassuming in his stable, he shows brio and presence under saddle. Won several titles in hand and under saddle as RMHA International Champion Show Pleasure 2007 and Reserve Grand Champion Show Pleasure 2007 at the RMHA Nationals, 2007 International Champion Stallion in Hand.
Spirit is very laid-back with other stallions and minds his own business, being not “studdy” at all. He represents the smaller compact “old-time” Rocky with a Spanish look. It doesn’t surprise anyone that he already has champion offspring in Show Pleasure classes (RRF’s Fashionista, RRF’s Prime Time). For me, there is no better stallion if you want to improve gait. With his bloodlines he is a genetic goldmine …
Spirit has found a new home in Germany, we are confident that he will continue producing magnificent foals there! As we have frozen semen of him, he will be the sire of our foals too in future …
