Mark McGuire's Somer, 1998 15.3h APHA stallion (pictured at 2 years)

Third Charm Training Center had been looking for a young stallion prospect with unspoiled potential, and the answer was this young fellow! Although only green-broke when we purchased him, McGuire had a wonderful temperament, three big, springy gaits, and freejumps with a great deal of enthusiasm (and height!). We looked forward to the start of his competitive career, but he was unfortunately killed in a freak accident at another facility in February 2005.  His 2004 Irish Sporthorse colt, Scamper, remains at the farm.

His pedigree is geared for performance and includes Leo, Top Moon, Dixie’s War Drum, and Three Bars. His grandsire, A Summer Breeze, was a nine-time Grand Champion with points in Halter, Working Hunter, Hunter U/S, Hunter Hack, Western Pleasure, Western Riding, and Trail.
