Kromio is a flashy, athletic colt with a pedigree to be a top prospect. He was halter broke at weaning, learning to lead, load, stand tied, pick up feet, and has had a trim. The foals from this cross tend to be a little shorter, and I’d expect him to finish out closer to the 15 hand range. So if you’re wanting a full barrel/running bred foal by Vitalio without the height he usually passes on, this is the guy for you. The oldest full sibling is 3 and is riding nicely, has a very confident, and friendly personality, and is generally laid-back with just the right amount of spice. I think this guy will be similar, pretty easy going but will have the speed and get-up-and-go when needed. Plus you’ll stand out in the crowd with this chromed up boy!
His sire, Vitalio (LTE $30,000) is a proven barrel horse that has pro rodeo earnings, and is a 4x CePRA and 3x KPRA finals qualifier. His dam is by Rare Bar, a mare that we raised. She was being used for ranch work, started heading, and was being hauled to local barrel jackpots before an injury ended her performance career. His second dam, Uptown Kate, is a race ROM producer.
Kromio is being paid in full to Future Fortunes and is eligible to run at both the Colorado Classic and VGBRA incentive. First photo is from a month ago before he got his winter coat, other photos are current.
