When I was doing the breed show thing a few years ago I saw a lot of 2006 babies (Riley's same age cohorts). A few really stood out, and I like to keep up with their progress and what they're doing. One of the "wow factor" babies was bred at Rolling Stone Farm in Slatington PA. By Sandro Hit out of EM Rhussia (Rotspon), I believe he was sold in utero. The new owner must be living under a lucky star :-), or else she's just savvy about bloodlines.
What's so cool about him?
- He is a stallion -- this year he was licensed by the American Hanoverian Society.
- The owner is an amateur rider, and she rides this horse herself. She was one of few amateur riders at the young horse championships in Illinois.
- His temperament (as evidenced from his show performances) seems very unstallion-like!
The judges at Devon were complimentary and especially appreciated the steadiness of his contact in the bridle. He got an 8.2 overall I think.

What a nice young horse!! And his training is wonderful! Hope his career soars. Kudos to his rider for a beautiful test.
ReplyDeleteI am spellbound by his incredibly consistent outline, something I had a lesson on just today. Beauty and harmony in motion.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, he is a lovely young horse!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, it was a joy to watch! And encouraging to see an amateur rider/owner showing their own horse.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! She is one heck of a trainer/rider. Thank you for sharing!
