I had a half brother to Golden Heights and he had a massive heart, loved snuggles! He was a complete softy, despite being a stallion inside but not outside
He was spooky to ride, but the best horse ever

I had a mare by him and she was a very tricky horse. She was nice to handle but had a real attitude at times and I wouldnt persoanlly have another. We bred a foal from her before she was broken in and that was similar.

The offspring are known to be virtually impossible!! God they are little witches, my friend has one and she has barely been able to ride it, it is a witch and had all sorts of problems.
Have known about 5 of his offspring, dont know what the rest are like but it is not a good reputation.

I used to know a stallion by him who was a sweetheart & lovely movement.
We have a horse (Jack - OB) whose dam is by him atm and he is also a real sweetie & fantastic movement.

Had one years ago, an total babe to handle so well mannered and gentle. could be a bit tricky to ride but I know that was alot to do with my riding at the time, wish I still had him for my teenage daughters now.

had a tricky one! and know more that are quirky than ones that are easy! i personally wouldnt choose one by him but there is no such thing as the perfect horse.

Another 'tricky' one here! (Although i like to call her other not so pleasant names
)
She has the most amazing temp on the ground, has never bitten, kicked or put her ears back once. But once you put a saddle on her back she turns into a argumentative madame with one hell of a buck!!
Its like there is a switch in her brain were she goes from being a absolute sweetheart to devil horse!
Unfortunately she is now retired due to navicular. Although she *can* be ridden quietly (hacking ect) she hasn't got the temperament for it as she needs to be in hard work to keep her quiet which will then cause her to go lame. *sigh*
Her only redeeming factor is she is very pretty!
I was pulling my hair out about her and her Jekyll and hyde personality until i came on here and found out a lot of them are the same. I know a top show producer who has a gelding by GH and his is exactly the same.
Hope that helps
