We bought Romeo August 30, 2005 as a stallion and riding prospect. We gelded him as a 2 year old because conformationally he wasn't what we were looking for in a stallion prospect. But Romie is well broke to ride and safer than most aged horses. No need to longe or roundpen Romeo before getting on - just saddle up and ride, he is that good and has been that way since his first day with a rider. He is by far one of the easiest, if not THE easiest of the horses we have ever trained. This boy is a keeper for sure. He had his speed show debut in 2007 and has competed in a handful of shows since then. He has far surprassed our expectations. If you ever have the opportunity to own a Hes To Dun Tuff foal, do not pass it up! We've always felt this way, and now that we have owned Tuff ourselves, we have no doubt these foals get their minds from him!
