I have recently read and heard about the controversy over the Appaloosa stallion shown at the Mounted Wonderers’ shows… I would like to tell you all about him!
Black River Heart, also known as “Chance,” is only 6 years old. He was born and raised on Bristol’s Heart Farm in Waldorf. Chance got his name from his scary delivery. If not for his loving owners being there when he was delivered, he would not have survived… and so his name became “Chance” for the second chance at life that he was given.
From the start, Chance was well behaved. He was shown in hand at Mounted Wonderers’ as a colt. At the age of 2, Chance was started under saddle. Within a month of the first time being ridden, Chance was shown under saddle in the English Novice division at a Mounted Wonderer’s show. Personally, I think that is absolutely amazing! He and his trainer went on to place first in one of their circuit division that year along with a few other ribbons.
Chance has always been such a good boy. He is the type of horse that you can get on after 6 months of not riding and he is just as well behaved as the last day he was ridden. He goes English and Western, can jump, do lead changes, turn on a dime, and so many more things. He has carried people of all ages including a 3 year old! His talents are endless.
One of the most appealing things about Chance is his looks. He is all black with a white blanket on his rump and a star on his face. He has a full neck and a full head of thick hair (rare for an appy!) He is the father to four colts. One of which is being shown this year. All of his babies have the same great personality and looks!
Chance is still learning. He is scared to death of a puddle of water! And gets scared when he sees or hears something unexpected (don’t all horses?) He has never acted in anyway shown his stallion side outside of his “job” in the spring. Unless you know he is a stallion, you would not be able to tell based on his behavior. All those who know and have seen him will tell you this.

So… Before you pre-judge him based on his sex… give him a chance to prove to you how wonderful he is!
