Why Rathdon?

It is a place of authority, offering a proud and commanding view of the surrounding lands. Rathdon is an apt name for a regal and proud gelding. He stands with a dignified posture and watches his surroundings with a calm, authoritative eye. He carries an air of natural nobility and quiet confidence.
A regal palomino Friesian gelding who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
