Esoteric Morning Star is owned by Kersten Levine who owns Esoteric Farm in Manor, TX. This handsome black gelding is an 8-year-old Swedish Warmblood. His is out of Cocos and by Kannon.
Kersten’s favorite memory of him is the first time she rode him. She had surgery right before he came to the US so she had to wait for 3 weeks after he arrived to sit on him. When she was finally able to ride him, she knew it was the horse of her dreams. He is a total ham, and loves food! He throws his feed pan out of the stall window when he is finished. Kersten says he is the sweetest and most kind horse she has ever met.
She shares, “I found him through a friend that was in Europe looking for horses for himself. They brought jimmy out and after 5 minutes he called and said” I’ve found your horse” The thing is I wasn’t looking. I watched the video and bought him a week later.”
This kind horse loves Apples.
Kersten has ridden her entire life, her mom was a trainer so it was only natural that she would end up on a horse. Her favorite thing about owning a horse is that no matter how bad a day she is having, climbing into his stall and being with him can completely change her day.
