Naughty or Nice is his name, but barn pals call him
Charcoal. This 2002 Hanoverian gelding, standing 16.3 hands high, is a dark bay
with summer dappling appearing in warmer weather.
Charcoal loves the show ring, as teen rider Marissa
Creviston sends him over 2’9” fences. The pair schools with Kim Angerman, a hunter-jumper
trainer at Tukaway Farm in
Hampshire, Illinois.
Young Creviston showed Charcoal in Illinois and Kentucky in 2011,
bringing home ribbons they earned together on 2’6” hunter courses.
“He’s super friendly and safe and really takes care of my
girl over the jumps,” explained Linda Creviston, Marissa’s mother. “He’s the sweetest
horse ever.”
Santa delivered Charcoal to the Creviston clan at
Christmastime in 2010.
“He was the ‘coal’ in Marissa’s stocking,” her mom quipped.
“I love taking care of him and grooming him,” the
14-year-old equestrian said.
