I understand King Gjestar tended to throw taller than himself (?)


Wow - the get must be huge, as I remember seeing King Gjestar in person at 
Libby, while he was still owned by Nancy Lehnert, and he was no shrimp boat!


One of his sons, Sven ( King Gjestar x Kristoffa) has get that are taller 
than his 14 hands.


Perhaps someone could shed a little light on this. Nancy L. can you comment, 
(or Ginny Cowles, if you are online...) ???

My most interesting cross has been to our old mare Frida (King Gjestar x
Jonetta).  Her colts seem to mature out around 14 hands and are of the
heavier build but her fillies mature out at 14 2 to 15 hands and seem to
be of the lighter type.  One of these is TUF Reba who has received her
Silver Medallion of Quality in 1998 with Blue Ribbons in Conformation,
Intro Driving, Intro Draft and Intro Western Riding.


Hi Nancy,

It was fun reading about Toby.  But Frida really caught my eye as her full 
sister, NFH Danella   (King Gjestar X 
Jonetta), is currently in my barn.  Danella, too, is tall and heavier built.  I 
understand King Gjestar tended to 
throw taller than himself (?)  She too  recieved her Gold Medallion of Quality 
Blue in Draft and Red in Driving 
and Conformation.  She was a little young when she was first evaluated and not 
quite filled out.  I'd love to have 
her reevaluated.  But, alas, we live in New Mexico and both Oregon and MN are a 
long way away.  And she is 
due to foal in Spring anyway and may not have her figure back in time :o)
