A Fine Romance

The Basics

1995 Black Thoroughbred Stallion, 16.3hh
Equine Database: 0002

Skip N' School x Happy Wonder
Foaled: May 12, 1995
Competing in Grand Prix show jumping
March 2006 Horse of the Month

Finn is the epitome of old school sim game. He was one of the top stallions in Horse Country and had some fo the best breeding in the game. Everyone who played back then will remember the greatness of Skip N' School and the awesome horses he produced. A Fine Romance has been with me for years and years and years, and he's done well for me for all those years. This boy is an astounding jumper; quick, scopey, tight with his legs, and adjustable for long distances or short distances. Finn has successfully produced jumpers, hunters, eventers, dressage horses, and even a race horse in his many years as a champion producing stallion! Don't let this incredible boy pass you by.

Finn is a strong horse with a definite need to be the top of the pecking order. This helps him immensely in competition, as his competitive drive and fire for the top of the podium means he's willing to pour every ounce of himself into whatever class he's competing in for the day.
