Gran Gesto
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
TID BITS
-
"Gran Gesto (Sam) is a dog in
a horse's body," said his rider, Jacqueline
Brooks. "I rode him for another trainer and
decided I had to have him. He’s an easy
guy to be around, he eats sweet feed and hay and
I could trust him on a loose rein downtown.
-
"His strength is his
consistency. I can make the kur flow with him,”
Jackie continued. "It’s a good partnership. He
has quick reactions but is a slow enough thinker
to be good in the ring.
-
“I’m excited for Sammy; he
has had great patience learning all this and now
he gets to go show the world how good he is at
it!”
