Rivers Anafantasia
2003, Black Mare, currently 16.3hh
Sire: Anamour Dam by Ludendorf

This is the type of mare who doesn't come up for sale very often at an affordable price. At just 3 1/2 years of age she is already over 16.3hh and still growing, we expect her to mature around 17.1hh minimum.

Anna's temperment is amazing, it took just one week to break her in and that was taking things slowly. She is very accepting of every new experience and her retention of her learning makes training her a real joy.

Apart from having a temperment to die for she also has movement to make you gasp. Her trot is amazing in it's size, cadence and balance for such a big young horse she already can overtrack in her trot up to 50cm and it is almost impossible to push her trot out of rhythm. Her canter has jump to spare and covers an incredible amount of ground in each stride, always in balance, an so comfortable for the rider. Her walk is active, swinging and big and rhythmic.

This is a horse anyone would feel confident about taking to a DWTS final any day, and then on to the top levels of dressage.

Anna has now completed her first competition on saturday 18 August 07. she was superbly well behaved and took everything in her stride. scoring credible 63% for her first ever outing. We are absolutely thrilled with her progress and if not sold will be aimed at competing in the 4yo competition at the 2008 DWTS and 2008 Sydney CDI.

SOLD

Congratulations for Melinda from Brisbane on her purchase of Anafantasia.

A beautiful colt by Northern Classic out of the regal old thoroughbred mare, Serestrina. This colt is a 3/4 brother to the Queensland Grand Prix gelding, "Liaison" ridden by Claire Wallace.

She was already 21 years old and was purchased due to her having the same NZ Thoroughbred sire, "In the Purple", as one of our original mares, "Rare Coral". "Rare Coral" was the dam of "Liaison" who is by Northern Classic.
