Comments:
Abby is one tough horse to get to know and understand. She's a strong and very stubborn mare, she definitely likes things to go her way. Very regal in appearance Abby stands out in the crowd and most of our guests notice her when she's grazing in the paddock. Bred and raised by me, Abby will do nothing for anyone else so don't try it. More than once a groom who dared enter her stall without me ended up in the hospital or quit on the spot. There are really no words to describe how vicious Abby can get but she's not a killer and she has turned out to be a fabulous show horse as well as a splendid broodmare. She's got the fire of a champion but will only respond with firm, strong commands. She's gifted in jumping and dressage but she will only work if your complete attention is on the task at hand. A renowned Silverbred this mare is one of top quality and you can guarantee her lines will produce fine horses, both on the racing circuits and in the show rings, where Abby gained her fame. One of our best, if not greatest WB bred, Abby is one we will never part with. Her past record is flawless and while she never did be named a legend or a champion, she surpassed that and became our very first very Silverbred in early 2008. She is the mare that started it all for us and for that she has the best of the care and will continue to live out her days here at Whitebrook eternally. Very few have come close to achieving as much as this mare and we thank god every day we have with her. She is a horse truly deserving of the honor to be called Augusto's half-sister, even if they aren't blood related.
