Pleasure Gaits - Bullet's Secret Affair aka Secret

Bullet's Secret Affair

Sire

Pedigree

During our search in TN/KY for suitable mares I ran into Secret. This coming 3 year old mare was just a few months under saddle and indeed 'green broke'. A trailride in the hills of Tennessee made me fall in love with this elegant lady. Needless to say we didn't want to skip the opportunity to import new bloodlines to Europe and decided to breed Secret prior to the transport overseas. Secret was imported in Augustus 2000 and in foal to Got Rox Wolfman (1987 TWHBEA World Grand Champion Model class). On May 8, 2001 she delivered a healthy studcolt Pleasure's DreamCatcher aka Wolfie.

Next to being a broodmare, Secret is also a nice ridinghorse. Most people who visited us to meet the Walking Horse in person had their first flat walk experience on Secret. This mare has proven herself more than once as 'test riding'- and ridinglesson horse. Over the past 7 years, the 2 of us shared many adventures and established a solid band. Secret still is my favorite mare for long trailrides.

We joined the European TWH Championship several times with Secret. In 2002 Secret and I got a 3rd in Western 2-gait and a 6th place in the English 2-gait. In 2003, Secret got a 3rd place in the Halter class together with Denise de Nie. She was ridden by Isabelle Hendrickx in the Waterglass class and won another yellow ribbon. With Sharon Kessler (Israel) she became 6th in the Water Glass class of 2004.

Secret delivered a healthy studcolt on May 1st 2004. We named him Pleasure's Foreign Affair aka Ollie. Ollie inherited the disposition of both his parents; people oriented, willing to please and he loves attention. He is very naturally gaited just like his big half brother Wolfie. Ollie his sire is A Red Morning Sun.

We bred Secret to our own stallion Potter in 2005. Our waiting and sleepless nights were rewarded on August 15th with the arrival of this beautiful sorrel filly. We named her Pleasure's Sakara which means 'fire'. Fire is the symbol of spirit and intuition; one of the elements out of the rainbow-legend. If you like to keep track of Sakara, check our kids corner.

Not sure wether we should rebreed Secret we decided to let nature follow its course. Potter and Secret have been together 24/7 after the birth of Sakara. During the foalheat Secret was bred and declared safe in foal. On June 11 she unexpectedly started bagging up. On June 14 2007 Secret delivered a fully grown classic champagne filly. It was not meant to be and the foal was stillborn.
