June 27, 2010. Our lovely stallion, Bergamon, lost his fight in the early morning hours. He had complications from colic surgery that became insurmountable. While he fought very hard and longer than most, his condition continued to worsen and we were unable to save him. Every effort was made to give him a chance, and I could not be more proud of how hard he fouhgt to survive. In the end, it was too much for him to overcome. I feel so blessed to have had him in my life. He showed us all what it meant to be brilliant. I am certain that in his short time at Saddlebrook he knew how much he was loved and was given every comfort he deserved. I know that he's at peace now, and will always be in my heart. Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported me during this difficult time. "When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk. He trots the air, the earth sings when he touches it." - William Shakespear

A gorgeous modern type with traditional sophistication and excellent confirmation Bergamon is the ideal package. Power and elegance define all three of his outstanding gaits.

Hi is stunning to behold undersaddle, breathtaking at liberty and has presence even at rest.
His current trainer, Paige Peters-Windham has said of him, "I've never had so much fun with any horse. He works so hard for me and never says no! I've also had the opportunity to ride several of his offspring and each time I find they have wonderful rideability and trainability, fantastic character and great athleticism! All of them worked so easily undersaddle that they made excellent amateur horses, but had the gaits and quality that any trainer would love to have. He really leaves nothing to be desired!"
