Wanchese
Emily started to ride Wanchese toward the end of this summer. She was in awe of his athleticism and comfort. Kayla is returning home to North Carolina today and for her last ride yesterday she wanted to ride Wanchese. Wanchese was born in the wild on Shackleford Island. He is the son of the wild stallion Dionysis. At only 12.2 hands he carries a 150 pound rider as if he had nothing on his back. I have never seen him make a hostile move towards a human. He has a gentler personality than even his nephew, Holland.
He should have his first colt born next summer. He is bred to Amanda's wonderful Corolla mare, Secotan.
Is it possible for a horse to be nicer than Holland? (*Besides Cricket*)
