Nancy purchased Ghlenlivet as a weanling from Rolling Stone Farm in August 1999. He is a Hanoverian by Gold Luck out of Piper.

When they first saw Ghlen, Nancy and her husband Greg were immediately drawn to his sweet temperament. After bringing him home, it was common to see the younger boarders lying in his stall with him when he was sleeping.

Compared to Nancy's other horses, Ghlen was easy to break, and the first time she rode him, Nancy said she was shocked at how large and airy his gaits were.

Today, Nancy is showing Ghlen Prix St. Georges. He stands 16.1 hands and sits easily on his haunches with a light, floating trot and powerful canter.

Under Nancy's expert training, Ghlen's show record speaks for itself:

* In 2004, Ghlen won every First Level and First Level Freestyle class that he was entered in. He had scores as high as 82% and was also named High Point at every show he was entered in.

* At the Region 1 Championships, Allentown, N.J., in 2004, he won the First Level open with a 72% and the First Level Freestyle with a 71%.

* Ghlen finished 2004 with numerous year-end awards. He placed 12th for the USDF Horse of the Year at First Level. He was 3rd for the USDF First Level Freestyle. He was Reserve Champion for the American Hanoverian Society at First Level and Champion at the First Level Freestyle.

* When the 2005 Year-End Awards were in, Ghlen placed fifth for the USDF Horse of the Year for Second Level, was Reserve Champion for the American Hanoverian Society for Second Level, and was First in Second Level for the Northern Ohio Dressage Association.
