McCurdy’s New Tradition

with Colleen Cates

See New Photos of our Gorgeous 2009 Filly and our 2010 Yearlings from our stallion,  “McCurdy’s New Tradition” Field Trialing is the ultimate test of the temperament and stamina of a horse.  The activities that a field trialer,  especially in the Northwest,  puts their horse through are extreme:  with ropes all over, dogs all around, shotguns fired, riding up and down steep mountains at a hefty speed, covering up to 30 miles a day.    A horse is expected to be smooth in gait and calm in attitude. Most horses do not have the calm and willing attitude necessary to provide the field trialer with all the tools to compete.   A horse’s legs must not be too refined or they cannot handle the terrain of rocks, steep uphill, downhill, and cross-hill courses. After years of field experience,  we seem to have found the perfect breed of horse to fit the extremes required for field trialing,  as well as pleasure, endurance and showing:   The McCurdy Plantation Horse.
