Chocolateys Story
Chocolatey is a
strong 15 2 hand dun Appaloosa stallion out of the great
producer Pass in Style and by the famous Appaloosa Stallion,
Hot Chocolate Chip. Chocolatey, aka "Harry"
showed his superior style and balance very early in life
as a weanling . Harry loped across the field effortlessly
at just a few months old, Wow'd every onlooker at the
nations top futurities, and now as a soon to be legendary
sire, he is passing along those quality genes making a
whole new pleasure horse with color.
Chocolatey has excellent
conformation and is very correct, which leads to balance,
hence his World Championship movement. He has proven that
he is among the best of the nations best futurity horses
and in fact, he may one day return to the Open arena in
Trail and Western Riding. He has the ability and awesome
talent to be a breathtaking western rider, with his fabulous
lead changes and steady way of going. As an NSBA Futurity
Champion, Chocolatey won the Southern Belle Invitational
in Tunica Mississippi, Reichert Celebration in Tulsa,
Oklahoma , Just for Pleasure , Double Your Pleasure in
Canada, Tom Powers Futurity in Michigan , ApPHA and ApHC
World Championships in Fort Worth, Texas. When he arrives
at the colusieum or state fairgrounds, theres always a
crowd waiting to meet him.
All except one of
Chocolateys NSBA wins in these classes were in the OPEN
Division, where he competed against top quality Quarter
Horses, Paints and Palominos. Pat Heeley, Chocolateys
trainer and I, with the guidance of Vicky Holt and Troy
Compton made very deliberate choices to show Chocolatey
in the Open Division (not a less competitive color breed
class). We did so knowing we had the individual who could
pull a win off regardless of the fact that he had a blazing
huge white Appaloosa blanket, which historically was unacceptable
in such prestigious classes. As Chocolatey blazed through
these tough classes, bearing that Appaloosa color, he
became accepted and quite the personality at the shows.
He gained respect and notoriarty from all those who watched
him. The educated people in the crowd stated it very simply
to me. "I don’t care what color he is, with
talent like that and that lope he has, he deserves to
win over the rest of these great horses". We even
had a judge proclaim, "It doesn’t take guts
to use a horse like that 1st, even if he is an Appaloosa
at a non Appaloosa show. He is the best horse out there
and the best horse in the pen, that’s why I used
him first on my card. He is incredible and I was proud
to choose him."
As great as is Harrys
prowess in the show pen, as beautiful and stunning as
his color is , his easy going personality is just as notable.
Chocolatey greets everyone at the front of his stall and
is quite happy to visit with them. He is a friendly, gentle
sire who is passing along this good natured personality
to his offspring. Raised by me and kid proofed by my son
Kyle, Harry has quite a personality. One of his favorite
pastimes would be playing "soccer" with my son
in his pasture as a yearling. Harry would chase the ball
that Kyle would kick up the field. Harry spent half an
hour once trying to get a hold of that ball, but once
he managed to grab it, he would jog up and down his pasture
as proud as could be, flipping that soccer ball the whole
time. Chocolatey is a good natured, gentle stallion that
enjoys the company of people and we are seeing this trait
in his beautiful offspring.
