This filly is going to make some very lucky person an amazing show horse. Although she is bred to jump, she would certainly be an ideal mount for eventing or dressage as well. She is a very smart and inquisitive girl who loves attention. When introduced to new things her first reaction is to boldly walk up to it and inspect it. She has a beautiful, floaty trot and a cute free jump. She is easy to catch, lunges, ties, trims, loads, is on a regular worming schedule and is up to date on everything. She will mature to at least 16.2H.
Fiona's dam, EMC Penelope Destiny, is currently my riding horse, and I can't say enough good things about her. She is a very easy keeper as well as a very pleasant, sane, and safe ride. I jump her barefoot with no soundness issues. She enjoys the trails almost as much she enjoys jumping. On paper she is phenominal, scoring a 9 for technique and a 10 for scope on her free jumping for her mare performance test putting her in the American Hanoverian Society's Jumper Breeding Program. She was high scoring mare that day receiving a 7.83 overall and she will receive Elite status as soon as she has a registered Hanoverian foal on their books.
Fiona's sire Fuerst Grayheart R, Hanoverian by blood and American Warmblood by papers, was injured as a three year old and thus has no show record. However, his offspring have done well at their inspections particularly on their conformation and movement scores. His sire is the Elite stallion Fuerst Gotthard, aka The Titleist, who has won many Grand Prix and World Cup classes and carried several Olympic riders. His dam is Santa Barbara, an Elite Hanoverian mare who's sire was an international Grand Prix jumper, and she herself won a championship at Spruce Meadows with an amature rider.
If she does not sell before next spring, I intend to lightly start her and get her inspected.
