Royal Appearance sired Royal Raconteur who was 5th and Best Conditioned at the Jersey Fresh CCI2* and 2nd at the Blair Castle CCI3* in Scotland with Clark Montgomery.
Royal Appearance was sired by Riverman who himself sired CCI**** horses R-Star and Slate River. Rabble Rouser’s dam is OTTB mare Irish Lace (JC – Femme Sol’e) who was competed through the CCI** level by an adult amateur. Rabble Rouser was kicked in the hip as a yearling causing a fracture that slipped and ended his riding career before it ever started; however, we have retained him and used him as a sire because of his lovely temperament, build, movement and excellent genetics.
Razzle’s dam, is OTTB Report to Sloopy, who is an RHPSI Premium Mare and was the high scoring mare at her RHPSI inspection. She is also half sister to the Grade One CCI**** event horse Sloopy ridden by John Williams. Report to Sloopy is the dam of Quantum Leap currently competing with Doug Payne.

This young event horse has already started competing, winning a starter event and recently finished 2nd at her first recognized event this year (finishing on her dressage score!).

Are You Ready Eventing proudly offers for sale: Ready After All. “Alliah” is a 4 year old, 16h, bay, Thoroughbred Mare. She has super movement on the flat and great form over fences.

Gorgeous TB Mare with Potential Written All Over!
Fruedian Act (aka Sig) is an 8 year old TB Mare – approximately 16.1 hh. This mare is perfectly put together and a pure powerhouse when it comes to movement and jumping. She has a big, flowing, uphill movement and seems to love jumping anything you put in front of her.
While she has not yet been to the show arena (her training has been better served with a slow and steady approach), someone with patience will win big time with this lovely girl. Sig can be a little nervous about life, and a bit spunky at times, so will require a confident, steady rider.
I’ve spent a lot of time working with and riding Sig all over the countryside (including roads), and found her not only a joy to work with, but also a quick study and a horse who seems to take sincere pleasure in developing a relationship with her person.
On the ground she is pleasant and loving, well mannered for the usual necessities, and will easily steal your heart if you let her. I’ve only begun to tap in on her potential, but time and financial limitations require a sale. Located in New York.
