Sectionline Bigry an accomplished warhorse and millionaire earner with all the charisma, presence, and brilliance you’d expect from a horse of his caliber. He was a two-time recipient of the Ohio Harness Horsemen's Association award for Best Older Male Pacer. He surpassed the $1 million mark in lifetime purses with a victory in the Ohio Breeders Championship in 2023. "Ry" is smart, athletic, and a genuinely great mover. He enjoys his dressage work and offers a forward, purposeful walk and trot, along with the beginnings of a nicely developing canter each way. He’s naturally careful over ground poles, showing the balance, rideability, and responsiveness that make him an exciting partner for someone looking to compete! If you’re looking for a talented, intelligent partner with star quality and endless potential, Ry is ready to step into the spotlight once again—this time in a new arena!
