Rivers Rarity
2006, Bay mare, mature 16.2+ hh
IHB Rio de Janero x RR Coralanne

This is the first of our Rio de Janero foals to be started under saddle. She is out of a Northern Classic mare who is full sister to the River Range bred horse "Liaison" who is being successfully campaigned at FEI Dressage by Claire Wallace of Lexington Farm, Queensland.

This mare is absolutely stunning in her looks and correct in her conformation in every way. She has amazing lift, power and cadence in her paces and a very trainable, unflappable, temperment to go with it. She is expected to mature over 16.2hh, already standing over 16.1hh at 3 years of age

Rarity has recently been started under saddle and proving to be a joy to ride and train. She has a lovely soft response to the bit and a natural round frame combined with forward, rythmic paces, which includes a super uphill balanced canter. She doesn't show the full extent of her movement under saddle as yet as she is just too relaxed about everything but when she is fired up the power and lift in her paces is just breathtaking and remains very rideable.

Ongoing training option is available.

Price $22,000
