MWVHSC FAMILY STAR


Holiday's Final Touch
Holiday's Final Touch, affectionately known as Chris, was
owned by Carl Harris, Epsom, NH and bred by Barbara
Breed of Pembroke, NH.  He was an own son of the well
known stallion, Holiday's Destiny, a Champion Appaloosa
in his own right.
Sherrel & Carl were long time friends and while Carl was
breeding Appaloosa foals at his farm, it was decided that
Chris would come to Pine Glen and earn his oats.
Chris had a personality that was unsurpassed and he
definately had character.  He hated the trail but adored
the ring.  He loved himself almost as much as his
humans loved him.
He loved a bath, put up with clippers and hated his
mane pulled.  His only dislike in the ring were barrels
that were stored a ringside.


Chris much preferred hunt seat riding to western, so he was shown under western tack in Halter
and Hunt seat tack in the saddle classes.  He even went saddle seat at the Appaloosa Breed shows.
Chris was shown on several circuits and pulled in 11 Year End Championships that year.  Chris was
rarely out of first place.
Chris' outstanding show record was noticed by a family in Connecticut and Chris moved to his new
home the following summer.
Because of the many, many great times this big ole loveable gelding gave us, we are honoring him
by being our first MWVHSC Family Star.
