Well, not exactly. This is Adam a young Corolla gelding. Vickie Ives adopted him as a young stallion and took him back to the famed Karma Farms in Texas. Unfortunately he could not be used as a stallion. She took him back and picked up Sea King, another young stallion. Adam was gelded but not adopted. I am not aware of him receiving any meaningful training during the time he awaited adoption.
This picture says so much about the Corollas. That is no photo shop work. That cowboy really is way over 6 foot tall. Adam carries him with ease and grace the first full day that he was back in Texas. That is power. That is athleticism. He moves out on a smooth Spanish gait. That is comfort. He has completed a ride on the trail just a few hours after his first real training in about two years. That is brains. He will do everything that is asked of him. That is heart.
Unfortunately that is all that the Corollas have to bring to the table--power,athleticism,comfort, brains and heart. If those traits do not appeal to you you will need to seek out another breed.
I hear that some of those other breeds are going quite cheaply now.
