DHF is getting out of breeding and concentrating on the riding (and, of course, Camp Lipizzan). The two half-sisters were bred specifically for the broodmare band, but both are excellent riding prospects. Questions or interest? Email capriole at gmail dot com.

GLORIOSA II ("Ephiny"), 2002 purebred mare (Favory II Bonasera III x Gabriella II [x Pluto III Belvedera]). 15.1 hands. Beautiful mare, one of the few purebred daughters of her sire. Big, scopey movement with huge stride. Leads, loads, ties. Has had her basics, including familiarization with bridle and saddle. Ready to back and start. This is a serious dressage prospect, with her movement, balance, and charisma. $9000.

GALATEA ("Tia"), 2005 purebred mare (Neapolitano Slatana II x Gabriella II). 14.3 hands (should mature to 15 hands). Smart, sassy, delightful young mare. "Self-training"--if I'm working one of the others, she'll join us and copy the exercises and figures. That's motivation! Leads, loads, ties. Has started longeing. Ready to breed or start under under saddle. $8500.

DHF KHEPERA, 1995 Arab/Lipizzan gelding (Shalimar Jordie x Capria). Double-registered Half-Arabian and Lipizzan Crossbred. 15.1 hands. Sound, sane, well-trained riding gelding. Trained to second level in dressage; excellent on trails. Goes Western as well as English/dressage. $5000.

If I lived a slightly different life I would so make you an offer on Tia. I've faunched after her since she was born.

Of course, I'd under-utilize her, so not a good fit anyway.

Le sigh.

Just watch out -- Tia may have something to say about whether or not it is "a fit" ;).

Also, J, I'll cross post this to FB when I am home and can access it (it's blocked at work) -- that should get awareness to the usual suspects.

I am not a believer in the theory that one can "under-utilize" a horse. One can only under-love or neglect one. If the horse is well-cared-for, and the owner and horse are happy, that is sufficient "utilization".

this, yes. exactly.

Horses can get bored, though. I'm purely a trail rider, not anything that would challenge that brain.

And, anyway, having looked at boarding prices...ack. Not until I sell another book or three... :-(

Lipizzans make awesome trail horses.
