June, 2007
In June of 2007 I purchased Doseo, a 3 year old gelding (by Davignport out of Grassy Creek), who was trained and marketed by Mark and Evelyn Susol.
When I arrived at their farm, (the first of 4 times!), I was immediately impressed by the facility. They had obviously put a lot of thought into its creation and maintenance. It is a lovely stable in a beautiful 97 acre setting.
I dealt, primarily, with Mark Susol. He was easy going and very straight forward about the gelding, no salesy approach. He answered all of my questions and allowed me to be very hands on the entire time. Both he and Evelyn allowed me to use the facility as if I boarded there. I even went out on 2 of their weekly “boarder” trail rides!
As I rode and worked around the youngster, it was obvious that Mark had correctly and carefully trained him, creating a well-behaved, confident 3 year old. Mark was the only person to train Doseo. I feel that he did a fantastic job preparing the gelding for his future as a sporthorse.
The entire process, from the first visit to writing the check a week later, was fun and easy. I now consider Mark and Evelyn friends and would readily recommend them for one’s training and sales needs.
Doseo has been at home with me now for 3 weeks. I am in love and continue to be impressed by his wonderful attitude and demeanor.
Thank you, Mark and Evelyn, for your time and expertise.
