Al Be Graceful Sells to Gutmann Family of Austria

GoHorseShow would like to congratulate Catharin Gutmann of Austria on the purchase of the great hunt seat mare, Al Be Graceful (Allie), from Adria Smith of Seaside Farm, LP located in Celina, Texas. The Gutmann’s are renovating an amazing facility in Austria and will be anxious to bring high quality quarter horses to their farm. The new owners have their quarter horses in training with Karin and Rodgero Prevedel of Italy.

When GoHorseShow inquired about why Smith decided to sell Allie, Adria said that she had an amazing opportunity to place her in a special home with Catharin. “We know she will continue to do great things. As a very active owner, I really want to show the offspring of my stallions, These Irons Are Hot and Iron Age,” she says.

Smith said her proudest accomplishment with her was when she won the Three Year-Old Non-Pro Hunter Under Saddle at the Tom Powers. “I wasn’t planning on showing her and the weather was terrible; however, Allie was a champ and showed great to a huge win.”

Adria says that she will miss that Al Be Graceful was a very easy horse to show and that she was great-minded with so much talent. “She will be very hard to replace,” she says.

Al Be Graceful also had a great Congress. She was Reserve Champion in the Three Year-Old Open Hunter Under Saddle Futurity with Trish Yamber and also won the Three Year-old Southern Belle Breeders Hunter Under Saddle. Unfortunately, Allie was kicked by a pony horse moments before the Non Pro and she was not sound enough for Adria to show in the Non Pro Three Year-Old class. “We were very lucky that the injury was superficial and Allie was back to her old self in a couple of days,” Smith says.

Adria is currently looking for her next show horse and have two great fillies by Iron Age, She Cant Iron and She Doesnt Iron, that will be going to the Yambers next month. “I have great hopes that these Iron Age fillies will be strong futurity horses for next year,” she says. “We are planning on pulling some embryos from Allie in the spring and then she will be exported to Italy.”
