Freya is another member of our jousting family...but will be preoccupied with being Mom for awhile!
THE LATEST ADULT MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY, RAISED AND TRAINED BY BLAKE COADY, A FORMER SEATTLE KNIGHT...AND NOW PROUDLY OWNED BY KARL ANDERSON, IS......GANTRY....AN 18-HAND 6-YEAR OLD PERCHERON GELDING.
GANTRY is trained to leg pressure, neck reins, and is a brilliant animal that responds to voice commands. He loves praise and is getting lots of it! He is shown here with Blake Coady, his former owner, on the day he came to Karl.
