SD BIG ATTRACTION × LIONHEART PRINCESS

affectionately known as Kitalpa, is a standout young Gypsy Vanner with the kind of mind, exposure, and presence that is hard to find at his age. Successfully shown at a GVHS rated show and won color class. He was the youngest in his classes yet handled the environment like a seasoned pro. He has been given an exceptional start and continues to prove himself in multiple disciplines. He rides ba****ck, western and English. He is traffic safe and drives! Kitalpa can be handled on the ground by children and has ponied adults and children of all ages. Out on the trails this boy loves to move out! He is happy jumping over logs and going through waterproof waterfalls. Trained under Zoe Lehmer of Crowned Z Gypsy Vanners.
