IDEAL CONTINI, Competitive, uncomplicated, ultimate junior/young riders horse
Ideal Contini, or “Taz,” is a 2003 16.2 Westphalian Gelding. I bought him in 2015, and in four years he became my horse of a life time, as well as my best friend. He took me from the one star level (CCI2*-L) to my first advanced and three star (CCI4*-S). We finished top 15 at numerous FEI events all across the east coast, were 7th at the 2016 NAJYRC in the CCI1*, top 20 at the 2017 Fair Hill International CCI2*, we were named to the 2017 E18 List and then the E25 list the following year. We finished 9th at the 2017 USEA American Eventing Championships at Intermediate, and most notably we finished individual silver and team gold at the 2018 NAYC CICOY2* at Rebecca farm. Taz has been my greatest teacher over the past few years, has allowed me so many opportunities and has given me so much experience. He’s competitive, uncomplicated, sound, and just overall the ultimate young riders horse. While parting with him is one of the hardest things I’ll ever do, it’s time for him to find his next person to teach the upper levels and be their horse of a lifetime. Located in Maryland.
