COLOR GUARD'S OFF SPRINGS

2010

These are two of Color Guard's (Eclipsed by Color's) Fillies born in 2010.

Star is the bay and Angel is the chestnut. This picture was taken early this summer. Both girls are currently for sale, the owner Soo Olafsen mentions "they are the best and very easy".

 

Soo Olafsen owner of Star and Angel expresses her thoughts of Color Guard as: " I was at a Governor General's Cup qualifier in fall 2008, watching the horses warm up for the class.  A chestnut colt with chrome stood out from the rest of the three-year-olds.  Not only was he a beautiful horse, he just floated across the ground.  And despite the chaos around him, he stayed composed, obedient and focussed on his work.  I had no idea what breed he was, I just knew I was very impressed by this young horse.  The following spring, I bred two of my mares to Color Guard and as a result, have two lovely fillies who have inherited their father's movement, confidence and charisma.  Watching what he has accomplished in just a short time I am glad that I chose him as an up and coming."
