2019 Bay CWB Gelding
Tacorde x Contender x Landucci
O'Henry is a flashy young prospect that shows great technique, scope and willingness through the jump chute. He is a full brother to a 1.45m 8 year old Ilana who is being campaigned by a Jr rider. He has a wonderful character and the typical Tacorde puppy dog personality. He would be suitable for an amateur to easily bring along in a good program.
Dam Contikki is by the great sire Contender, and completed the mare performance test in Germany and received very high scores. She is a half sister to 2 FEI horses with her dam only producing 4 foals, and is just as scopey and careful as her bloodlines suggest.
Sire Tacorde was a fixture at the FEI level of show jumping for 6 seasons before being retired with earnings of over $100,000. Some of his career highlights include winning the Spruce Meadows indoor GP’s 2x, being top placed at Brandon in almost every GP ever entered, a 3rd and 5th at Omaha International, jumping 4 clear rounds at RMSJ in two weeks and being one of the top earning horses at RMSJ in 2013, as well as being on the top 10 in Canada for money earned in 2013. Clearing 2x 1.98m during puissance competitions as well has having double clear rounds at Spruce Meadows in the International ring. Taking his rider from the local GP level all the way up to the World Cup Qualifier level, he always forgave mistakes and came out ready to try hard no matter what and he loved a crowd! Tacorde adds a great canter and hind end, scope, heart and desire to jump.
