Imported Oldenburg With Upper Level Potential

This talented young horse successfully started his career with a run at Novice at Galway Downs in April. After winning a competitive Novice division at Spokane Horse Trials in May, he moved up to Training in June and finished eighth in Open Training at Rebecca Farm. He’s ready for Prelim and has the scope, talent, and temperament for much more!

With a great jump and three solid attractive gaits, this clever boy is suited for a variety of riders: Pro, AA or YR in a program.

Christoph is a 2014 16 hand bright bay gelding with a nice temperament and no vices. He has very clean x-rays and a great vet report from 7/2018. Very sound and easy to keep. Christoph schools cross country with no issues. He is all business in a show environment, but laid back at home. He can be ridden bareback all over the farm, into the creek, and can be ridden and jumped in the snow! Located in Washington state.

Beautiful, rideable, brave mare with lovely jump and movement and clean x-rays!

Mariah GS is a beautiful 6 year old mare. She has lovely floaty movement, she is a very good jumper with beautiful form over fences, she is very brave cross country and she has a great temperament. She could honestly go in any direction! She has evented up to training level with Olympian and Pan Am medalist Jessica Phoenix and is currently in training with Jessica. She is very well schooled on the flat and is quiet with a great jumping technique. Her sire, Hope of Heaven, competed in Germany in the 1.30m and 1.35m as a 5 and 6 year old and qualified for the Bundeschampionat before coming to Canada (he is an Abdullah grandson), and her dams sire, Adrian, was an Open Jumper and competed under the 1976 individual Olympic silver medalist, Michel Vaillancourt.

One of Mariah’s half sisters, Blyth’s Madeline GS, competed up to 2* level (old 1*) and then competed up to preliminary with a young rider and won AEC’s Novice Amateur division this past year. Another one of Mariah’s half brothers, Marco Polo GS, is currently successfully competing at Prix St George level dressage with an amateur.

Mariah spent last winter season in Ocala, FL. She has been to shows and off property schooling numerous times and has been to HITS Ocala. She will be going back to Ocala this January if she does not sell before then. Mariah has a clean bill of health and clean x-rays on file. She trailers, ties, ties to a trailer, bathes, clips, and hacks. Mariah would be greatly suited for someone looking for a lovely prospect to bring up the levels or for an amateur or kid looking for a super nice super sweet horse with lots of potential!
