VULCAN'S STORY Born February 3 1999 Vulcan is a Missouri Foxtrotter x Quarterhorse dapple-grey gelding. He is 16 hands with a beautiful, floating gait. He is intelligent, willing to please and is very sound mentally and physically. Vulcan is that special horse in a lifetime that's a pleasure to own, a dream to ride and a delight to show ! Vulcan introduced me to the world of Dressage and accredited himself well there under the instruction, and often riding, of Valerie Swygert. Vulcan earned several SCDCTA Championships and Reserve Championships and also multiple Schooling Show Championships/High Scores while being ridden by both myself and Valerie. Although I was his initial, amateur dressage rider, after I took a bad fall resulting in a long recovery, Valerie showed Vulcan in the professional divisions at both schooling and rated shows. They qualified easily for Regional Championships in the Professional Division and Carol Skelton and I attended and watched as they acquitted themselves beautifully in a large class with great competitors. I could not have been prouder of them both. They made a great team! Due to some minor health concerns, it was decided to retire Vulcan from the professional division competition after the Regionals but he is back in training for the Amateur division competitions with his new 'best friend' Carol Skelton and possibly myself again down the road. He and Carol are awesome together !! Vulcan was bred by Joyce Perdue from a registered Quarter Horse sire and her registered Missouri Foxtrotter mare and lived quietly with her and his dam Shannon until I purchased him in Nov 2005.
