My Pets: Goldsytch Gradbach

This picture shows Gradbach with his April coat.

Name: Goldsytch Gradbach

Animal: Pony

Colour: Red Roan (although he has blue roan mixed in with him as well)

Size: 29.5 inches at the wither

Breed: Miniature Shetland

Gender: Male

Birthday: 24th May 1988

Gradbach is a very special pony to me as he was the first stallion I ever owned. He is also one of the stallions that my parents bred as a foal in 1988 while they were running the Goldsytch stud. In late February 2010 I restarted the Goldsytch stud and managed to get him and Morjoy Tulip (whose mother is also a Goldsytch pony!).

When I bought Gradbach he was 21 years old but did not look it or act it. He has a loveable nature and loves being petted.

Gradbach is an extremely well trained pony with excellent confirmation. He has won many shows and passes on his superb confirmation to 99% of his foals. Over the years we have worked out he has sired around 100 foals!

On the 14th May 2010 we put Gradbach and Morjoy tulip together hopefully for a foal in April next year.

Goldsytch Gradbach’s mother is New Park Tasha, and his father is Stanhoe Tom Kitten.

Because Gradbach is Red Roan, he changes colour throughout the year.
