Preservation Hall is a 15-year-old 17-hand thoroughbred bay gelding with a small white star. He was foaled in Maryland on April 4, 1980 at Glade Valley Farms by Rollicking out of Southern Gem. His most notable ancestor was Count Fleet (1943 Triple Crown winner). He raced for 8 years and won 18 out of 111 starts with a total winnings of $111,000. But all that is behind him now. He currently resides at a stable on the Main Line about an hour west of Philadelphia. The most action he sees these days is when he goes to an event and gets excited enough to break into a series of spontaneous dressage moves.
