| We start the second "Show Geldings" with a stallion. Gable's Central Park was a flamboyant morgan stallion who was always on-stage. He was shown English pleasure young, but probably would have excelled classic. Later he and I worked on dressage together. With a good rider, he could have gone to the upper levels. But, I rode him so ... | |
CP with dressage trainer Linden Spears.
I loved to watch him, enjoyed his sense of play, adored who he thought he was.
We both knew how special he was. C P's Page

Beautiful, upheaded bay colt, Noah was also an agreeable youngster. Kurt Hufferd started Noah, who was then sold to Spring Mill Morgans. He was shown to championships in park saddle by Jim Lowry and his junior exhibitor owner. |
| Noah continues his big-moving ways and show career in California, adding driving to his accomplishments. In 2001, he was Reserve World Champion Youth Pleasure Driving. |

 |
Not to be outdone by his older brother, Gable's High Water, Max seemed to come into the world even more up-headed. Having seen how well Noah was doing, Kurt Hufferd and I were eager to start Max on his show career. |

Max kept growing and growing. Kurt showed him park harness as a two year old. He did fine, but we finally decided he would have his best career in English pleasure.

As a three year old, Max was Reserve World Champion, three year old park saddle. Needless to say, we were delighted and proud of Ellie's big boy. This big gelding went east as a four year old, being shown by Bonnie Sogoloff. They went Reserve 4 yr. English Pleasure Champions at New England that year. He was purchased for a young junior exhibitor.

Gable's Top Quark was a dark, leggy colt with a quick response time. Both have served him well in his show career. He grew to be a much bigger colt than expected from Victoria, but with all the ability of both his parents. After a quick introduction to the "real" world with Kurt, he started training for real at Cedar Spring Farm. |
| Quark was sold to a junior exhibitor and has multiple wins and championships on the East Coast circuit. He is very dynamic, a challenge to keep together, and he demands that judges pay attention. He is now continuing his winning ways with a junior exhibitor in Indiana. |  |

Winston was named to commemorate a trip to London. We was a long-legged, necky, a sweet colt. Unlike his more flamboyant older brother, Top Quark, he was really laid back. He brought together the Equinox and Cedar Creek Elegance bloodlines which we had planned. (Having too many colt/geldings slowed this goal.) He started his training at Cedar Spring Farm, where he was prone to lying down for hours a day. But, when he got up, he got to work.
Winston had his show debut at New England, where he took the blue in a large class of 4 yr., old hunter pleasure hopefuls. He had that big push off the back end and a rolling reach up front - possibly my favorite BGF horse to watch. |

Winston had delighted new owners in 2002 with a victory at Southern States. Shortly after that victory at Southern States, he suddenly died. He was 6 years old. His loss is more than just for those of us who cared. He would have won over many fans.
 | Sweet, handsome, athletic - Parker is VICTORIA'S and CENTRAL PARK'S last son. Started hunt seat, he is now training in dressage. |  |
