He was the kind of colt who made you stop and watch. You just&nbsp;</span><em>knew</em><span>&nbsp;he&rsquo;d go far.</span><br /><br /><span>Today, he lives in&nbsp;</span><strong>Wyoming, USA</strong><span>&nbsp;with&nbsp;</span><strong>Karla of KR Horsemanship</strong><span>, where he is being brought on as one of their future stallions. It&rsquo;s hard to put into words how proud and grateful we are that he&rsquo;s found such a perfect home across the world.<br /><br />&#8203;<font size="5">From the fields of&nbsp;</font></span><font size="5"><strong>County Kerry</strong>&nbsp;to the ranchlands of&nbsp;<strong>Wyoming</strong>, Tarzan&rsquo;s story is a&nbsp;reminder of why we do what we do.&nbsp;<br />&#8203;</font><br /><span>He carries not only the bloodlines of Irish tradition, but the trust of generations. We&rsquo;re honored to have bred him, and even more blessed to see him thrive with someone who loves him deeply.</span></div></div>    </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>  <div id="813770327508239323"><div><style type="text/css">	#element-4ffbe8db-d2e9-43bd-9809-70d5dda8b9c2 .colored-box-content {  clear: both;  float: left;  width: 100%;  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;  -ms-box-sizing: border-box;  box-sizing: border-box;  background-color: rgba(248,234,169,0.6);  padding-top: 20px;  padding-bottom: 20px;  padding-left: 20px;  padding-right: 20px;  -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0px;  -moz-border-top-left-radius: 0px;  border-top-left-radius: 0px;  -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0px;  -moz-border-top-right-radius: 0px;  border-top-right-radius: 0px;  -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;  -moz-border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;  border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;  -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;  -moz-border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;  border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;}</style><div id="element-4ffbe8db-d2e9-43bd-9809-70d5dda8b9c2" data-platform-element-id="848857247979793891-1.0.1" class="platform-element-contents">	<div class="colored-box">    <div class="colored-box-content">        <div style="width: auto"><div></div><div class="paragraph">Karla recently shared:</div><blockquote><em style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&ldquo;Sometimes I sit back and just pinch myself because how on earth can you be real!!?<br />The only horse I own I would trust to carry me and my child.<br />You simply have zero anxiety, are so trusting, and to top it all off you're athletic.<br />You're a one-in-a-billion, Tarzan.&rdquo;</em><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;&#129401;&#10084;&#65039;</span></blockquote><div class="paragraph">&#128073; You can follow his journey with Karla here:<br /><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/p/KR-Horsemanship-100077180303430/" target="_blank">KR Horsemanship on Facebook</a></strong></div></div>    </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
