"Cocoa" is a gorgeous bay quarterhorse with a wonderful temperament. She is very safe for any child competing or wanting to compete in open or AQHA shows and has always been a winner for my daughter. She is the granddaughter of Zips Hot Chocolate and Zippo Pine Bar. She has a nice slow walk and a "BIG" jog with a lot of hip action.
Cocoa has been in training with Charles Norton for the last 3 years. We do light training during show season and then take the winter months off. She is pretty much maintenance free. She would do well at a barn without a trainer and is the kind of horse who can simply be taken to a show and shown. She has only been shown by my daughter as a Small Fry and once by me in Novice showmanship (placing second). She does not look her age. She is very sound and loads, clips and stands nicely for the farrier. She has never had any colic, joint or illness issues.and she receives regular vet and dental care.
Cocoa has won AQHA circuit champion small fry awards in showmanship, horsemanship and of course walk jog. She is a very willing learner and is eager to please. She has been the Small Fry All Around in the majority of the shows we've competed in the last 2 years. In 2008, she was the NCQHA Small Fry Reserve Champion and this year she is the 2009 EQHNC Small Fry Champion, as well as taking home high points in OPEN walk/jog classes in which she competed against adults and halter classes.
We also belong to CCHA, an open show association in our hometown and Morgan and Cocoa have won year end high points the last 2 years in 7 to 9 of the classes .
We have owned Cocoa for 2 years and my daughter is ready to move up into the Youth classes. We would love for another small fry to enjoy her and develop confidence and passion for showing as my daughter has.
REASONABLE offers considered!
