Bio:
Gambit was born to Jodis Copper Dreamer on August 8th of 2005. He has become a bit of an outcast to his breeding line, being the only solid foal thrown from his sire out of 15 or so foals, but he does not shame that line. He carries the sweet nature of his father and the lean frame of his thoroughbred lined mother. He's also the baby, being the last foal of Magic for perhaps forever. Magic's owner is undecided on whether or not he will continue breeding.

As a foal, Gambit grew to strength in a herd. At age six months, he was brought up for weaning but would not do so easily. He managed to jump his 5 ft corral, twice, to make it back to his dam. Soon though, he was placed in an inescapable corral and was left to grow into a young colt, without much handling due to his previous owners' busy work schedule.

At the age of 10 months, Gambit was introduced and given to me after I had recently lost my previous horse because of some unfair people. Let's just say, I will never board again without a signed document..."friends" betray their word. He'd never been handled before so getting the halter on him was a bit of a job but within a week's time, he and I were beginning as a team. After almost a year together, Gambit has grown into a capable young horse with a sweet personality and an eagerness to please. Soon, we shall be starting on light under saddle training, once he turns 2, and by 3, we will be starting trail and other work. I look forward to seeing our friendship/partnership grow into something truly amazing.

Gambit and I have been progressing even more as a team and have successfully started saddle training. With less than 10 ride under his belt, he's already riding like a fully trained 5 year old. I can't wait until next summer so we can enjoy long peaceful trail rides together!
