Capturing the Essence of an Exceptional Gelding


As the sun rose over the picturesque landscape of Livonia, Missouri, I arrived early at Bill Triplett's beautiful hay field, camera in hand, ready to capture the essence of an extraordinary gray gelding. This was no ordinary photo shoot; it was a celebration of equine excellence and impeccable breeding.


Bill greeted me with his signature warm smile, his excitement palpable as we prepared to showcase his pride and joy, a gray gelding born on May 15, 2023. The gelding, with his striking appearance and calm demeanor, immediately commanded attention. With a pedigree that includes the renowned CT Show Me Your Guns and Frenchmans Eye, this young horse is destined for greatness.


We began by unloading the gelding from the trailer, and I was struck by his grace and poise. Despite his young age, he displayed an impressive level of maturity, a testament to Bill's diligent groundwork. The gelding's coat shimmered in the morning light, highlighting the exceptional care he receives.


As we moved to the lush green hay field, I couldn't help but admire the idyllic setting. The vibrant colors and serene ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for our shoot. Bill meticulously groomed the gelding, ensuring every detail was perfect. THAK YOU! The connection between them was evident, a bond built on trust and mutual respect.


With the gelding ready, we began capturing content to promote this outstanding horse. The camera loved him, and he seemed to understand the importance of the moment. He posed with an effortless elegance, showcasing his strong, well-proportioned physique and striking features. Each shot highlighted his potential, from his powerful lineage to his calm and cooperative nature.


The gelding's pedigree is truly remarkable. His sire, CT Show Me Your Guns, owned by Hockenson Performance Horses, is a 2013 AQHA Gray Stallion known for his excellent genetics, including gray, cream, and dun genes. His dam, Frenchmans Eye, traces back to the legendary Frenchmans Guy, a $14 million dollar sire renowned for producing top-tier barrel racers and all-around performance horses.



Bill has already laid a strong foundation with this gelding, preparing him for a future of success. The groundwork is done, and he's ready to be trained in any direction you desire. Whether you're looking for a promising performance horse or a trusted companion, this gelding has it all.


The highlight of the day was capturing the gelding in motion. Watching him trot and canter around on the line was mesmerizing. His movements were fluid and powerful, a true reflection of his exceptional breeding and training. Every stride exuded potential, promising a future filled with achievements.


This remarkable gelding will be featured at the upcoming September 7th Catalog Horse Sale at Lolli Bros Livestock Mkt Inc. It's a unique opportunity to own a horse with such an outstanding pedigree and promising future.

As the session drew to a close, we began packing up and preparing to exit the hay field. Just as we were about to leave, a family of turkeys emerged from the tall grass and strolled across our path. Bill chuckled and said, "Oh yeah, this family is always out and about around here." It was a fitting end to a perfect day, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the promise of an extraordinary equine future.


It was a privilege to capture the essence of this exceptional gelding and get to know his story in the equine industry. Through my lens, I witnessed not just a horse, but a promise of greatness, ready to embark on a journey of success.
