Merriewold Galaxie

(Iron Forge Starman x Ringbrook Renaissance)

2004 Chestnut Mare

Merriewold Galaxie was started and had one year in training with Grand Prix rider/trainer Sally Anderson in Montana. Now Galaxie is making her debut in California with the McFalls at Dragonfire Farm. During her year with Sally, Gal went to two open/rated USDF shows scoring in the mid 60's with a first place 68% at T2.

Galaxie's pedigree is 'sport horse' top and bottom. Her sire is the renowned Iron Forge Starman who is currently showing at Grand Prix level. Sally and Starman just earned their USDF Gold Medal. Starman's pedigree contains two of the great Morgan sires Santana and Beamington.

Gal's dam, Ringbrook Renaissance has an accomplished show record as well with 2 grand national titles and 4 regional wins. Renaissance also has ideal sport horse conformation and the "lightest" canter I have ever experienced. Her pedigree includes the great Ulendon and Ulysses.

Merriewold Galaxie is also broke to drive, she really enjoys driving. She has even pulled a sled in the Montana snow. Gal has many miles of trail riding as well and is happy going out alone or in a group.
