Parisienne Peace
"Pete"

1987 bay Thoroughbred gelding
17.3 hh
(Parfaitement x Flaming Peace)

(sire & dam on allbreedpedigree.com)

"Pete" is a tall, leggy Thoroughbred gelding who considers himself to be quite young, thank you very much. While he *is* starting to feel the beginning stages of arthritis, particularly on cold days, it's nothing that a little Bute or herbal remedies won't solve to give him several good years in moderately strenuous competition. Trust us, he WANTS to keep competing, or else we wouldn't make such a suggestion. He has primarly been used as a showjumping mount, lately in amateur adult classes and the lower levels, NOT due to his lack of talent but that he has been ridden by a green rider. He would love to continue in this discipline, but has also begun dressage training as well to supplement it. He would make a spectacular low-level or amateur SJ mount, and is showing promise for dressage as well (he's trained through 1st Level). Would also make a good lesson horse.

Pete is half-brother to one of the mares listed for auction, PEACE LILY, through their dam. She is promising to follow in his footsteps in the jumping arena.

Pete's sire is PARFAITEMENT, son of legendary sire, HALO. PARFAITEMENT had quite a race record, 17-8-3-2, and earnings of $224,450 USA. His dam is FLAMING PEACE, daughter of LYPHARD, an outstanding racer himself with a record of 12-6-1-0 and earnings of $202,332 USA. LYPHARD raced in France, Ireland, & England, and was named after the French dancer & choreographer Serge Lifar. So it's no wonder that Pete was given such a name!

As you can see, Pete's pedigree suggests that he was one heck of a racer, though we have no records of it. Still, his athleticism and heart are very apparent, even in his older age. Perhaps he would have been a name to be remembered had he not been a gelding!

FOALS: None
SHOW RECORD: None
