Varsity Blues

Owner: Jackie Kradin

       Jeff joined the VS "crew" in the fall of 1997 and was of course loved from day 1! Jeff is very calm and forgiving allowing various levels of riders to safely progress with their riding. He was even the SSHC 1999 High Point Hunter! He came to us as an eventer, but has proved to be a terrific hunter (and he has been splendid in Pam's attempts at dressage). He has a large stride which many people find bouncy, but he is fun to ride.

Jeff was recently purchased by Jackie Kradin in August 2003. They'll be staying with us at VS :)
