Show Highlights

Bold Nominee has the conformation, bone and temperament of a European Warmblood with the athletic talent and bravery of his Thoroughbred lineage. He began his jumping career late, after demonstrating that he had no interest in racing. As an 8 year old, shown under the name “Centsible”, he finished the year Central Florida Hunter Jumper 1st Year Green Conformation Champion and Reserve Champion of the 1st Year Green Division. He competed lightly as a 2nd Year Green Conformation and under his owner was CFHJA Reserve Champion Amateur-Owner Hunter.

Unfortunately due to a freak accident he lost the sight in his left eye and was forced to retire from the hunter ring to stand stud at Ridge Point. After some re-grouping to determine how the lose of the eye would affect his performance, Bold Nominee resumed his show career in the Jumper ring. Piloted, first by amateur rider, Mike Gallagher and later by junior, Meredith Gallagher he competed successfully in spite of his visual handicap.

Additional Information

During his jumping career, Bold Nominee was paired with a TB mare known as Chance Deal and produced a brown filly named Bold Chance. Bold Chance chose the Jumper ring from the beginning of her career. She has had a very successful career as a junior jumper and is currently showing Level 7 Jumpers. Bold Nominee has 5 other offspring on the ground, showing or preparing for their show career. It is apparent from all the fillies and geldings he has produced that his great temperament and jumping ability is passed on to his get, along with size and bone.
