For All You Innkeeper Fans

I found a picture of him today when he was a 2yo just getting ready to go to the track.

Now, for the important bit, it was the late 80’s. I was going through a red phase which I would like to forget. Actually this might have been early 1990 but anyway suffice to say I’m a bit of a fashion disaster!:lol:

Terri, love the photo, he is a beautiful stallion… but I am confused, how is it that you happen to have this photo? I thought you lived in Ireland… and isn’t Innkeeper the stallion now owned by Ursula Ferrier / EnAvant http://enavantstud.com/news.html

There must be a very interesting back story here… please share. :slight_smile:

I am an American who married an Irishman and came to live on the Great Emerald Isle in 2001. In my previous life I learned how to gallop on Wayne Lukas’s farm out in California. Spent 3 years with all the yearlings, learned how to start youngsters, and from there went onto a career galloping horses. Had a very brief stint as a jockey but I was horribly bad and if I wanted to eat then I needed to stay galloping. My profile pic is one of me on Mr.Greeley.

So yup, this is the same stallion from all those years ago when he was a baby!

Damn, I used to ride him… Just before he started his dressage thing.
Mega. heart. horse.

I have a picture of him on my fridge!

Innkeeper

awesome picture! So happy to see it…an Innkeeper mare (Inner Gold) foaled a palomino Oldenburg foal on Sunday by my stallion Good as Gold…he is a “keeper” :slight_smile: Pics here if you would like to see him. He
will be at the Hilltop Farm Oldenburg/ISR inspection this fall.

Love him!!!

Thanks for sharing that!
I also adore Innkeeper :slight_smile:

My Innkeeper mare has a 3 week old foal by Cielo B. I hope to find the right person to take him to the top in the jumper ring.

Thanks for the photo - just love this stallion. We have a wonderful 6 year old mare by him out of our SWB mare by Gaugin de Lully. She has incredible talent for jumping and an absolutely amazing gallop.

We have always loved this stallion… it’s great to hear that so many others do as well. It’s interesting that he has touched so many people’s lives. :slight_smile:
