3yo Danish Warmblood

By Leslie on , Filed Under Area 8, c) $15,000-$30,000, Sport Horse Nation and , ,

Description: Wildorado's Mandalay is a handsome (DOB: 18 May 10) Danish Warmblood gelding. Mandalay is by the famous Blue Hors Don Romantic by Blue Hors Don Schufro and out of Kastaniegaardens Eliise/Ragazzo/Raphael. Mandalay is a lovely bay with a very large star and two back socks. He has a quiet, easy-going personality and lovely, expressive gaits. He is a solid 16.1+ already and has huge joints and substantial leg bone. He had a full pre-purchase exam on 10/22/11 including x-rays, flexions, eyes, lungs, heart check and passed with flying colors! Manny is wonderful to live with and work around. Clips, bathes, cross ties, good for farrier and vet, loads, and gets along well with other horses. Manny is in a gelding herd for night turnout and has free access to go in and out of his stall into a paddock during the day. He is also totally happy to stand in a stall for extended periods of time and handles our very large farm's (45+ horses) busy atmosphere with ease. He is an easy keeper in every way including having excellent, strong hooves (he's barefoot and shows no signs of needing shoes) and very solid legs. He has been under saddle three days per week since the beginning of April 2013 and is very straightforward in every way. He has a lofty, floaty trot and very easy gaits to sit. His canter is so balanced he already understands flying changes! He quietly works both inside and out and enjoys work over ground poles and cross rails. He approaches his work with a sensibility that makes him seem older than his years. This super-star horse will excel as a eventer or H/J because he is fearless and LOVES picking his feet up over anything. Check here for a three generation pedigree.

BamBam: Fancy, Honest, and Sound Preliminary Packer

By Leslie on , Filed Under Area 3, Area 8, d) $30,000-$50,000, Sport Horse Nation and , ,

Description: BamBam, a 16.2h, 9 yo Dutch Warmblood/Thoroughbred cross is an absolute Preliminary Level rock star. Dressage judges love him,
he has consistently been in the top three after dressage this season, and goes clean, bold, and in the time cross country. After a year at
this level, absolutely nothing phases him, and he is always foot perfect through all the technical questions. He is also incredibly
handy, and will take care of his rider when you do make a mistake. Super adjustable, and goes in a double jointed snaffle in all three
phases.

BamBam is also a complete pleasure to have around the farm with tons of personality, and I get compliments about him without fail at every
single event. He clips, autoloads, hacks in a group or alone, has fantastic feet, and is a very easy keeper. He also had a full workup
last summer, and was extremely sound. This is truly the horse of a lifetime for a young rider or ambitious amateur!

2nd in August Open Preliminary Catalpa Corner
8th in June FRVPC CCI*
10th of 25 in IEA HT Open Preliminary
3rd in April River Glen Open Preliminary (One of two horses to go double clear cross country!)
