Her bloodlines include some of the best dressage and jumper producers in the world including Metall (sire of Uthopia), Ferro, Ramiro, Doruto, Nimmerdor and Furioso. Erania was just started under saddle. This confident little mare with BIG gaits would be the ideal choice for a petite dressage rider looking for a serious prospect to work up the levels.
West River is a super rideable brave and willing mare with strong ground covering gaits and a very nice quality jump. She is very straight forward to ride and would make a super hunter like her father but is built and bred to excel in a number of disciplines. Her bloodlines included the legendary sires, Graf Gotthard Z, Ramiro, Amor, Doruto, Secretariat, Wolkentanz and Fabriano. She's a medium sized mare that should mature about 16.1 HH.
