In the world of Saddlebred competition, you won’t get far without style, presence, and impressive gaits. The 2006 chestnut stallion Marc of Charm has all of these in spades. Owned by Riverdreams LLC, trained by Lionel Ferreria of Monnington Farm and shown by Lionel Ferreria, Marc became a seven-time world champion and world grand champion, including being named the Five Gaited Worlds Grand Champion in 2015.
A superior five-gaited horse should be smooth racking, balanced, and fast, all paired with a great attitude and willingness to work, and Marc effortlessly embodies those traits. Over the years, Marc gained quite a following, both for his talent and incredible showring presence, and for his amazing personality. Known as “the people’s horse,” he’s now retired from the show ring and is passing on his athleticism, conformation, and attitude to the next generation of superstars. Marc has already sired many world title winners!
