This filly is exquisite and is a super mover. I bought her from a hunter breeder who sold her because her movement was too dressagey. Fine by me!
She is by the very famous De Niro and out of a mare by Lute'ce/ Neon Promises xx. Lute'ce is by Lanciano. He was KWPN and was sold after import for $250,000 as a green hunter prodpect and then gelded to do the childrens hunters. Neon Promises xx is a full sister to the famous hunter "In Sync" who is one of the few horses in hunter history to score a perfect 100 and who was the highest placing American horse at the World Cup in Las Vegas. Here is a link to her video:
I'll get photos when it dries up a bit.
SOLD!Conjgratulations to Narda Croughwell of Hillsborough, NC!
Show Results
Look at the hindquarter activity and the rhythm in De Nira's gaits. She is as solid as they come in her rideability too. This is an FEI horse in the making.
July 2013: DeNira went to a schooling dressage show and then the following week she went to her first recognized dressage show. This was only her second time off the property and her 3rd and 4th times ever in a dressage ring. She won both tests- training level test 3 with a 64.6% and training level test 1 with a 67.917%. What a good baby girl! Here is the video including some of the warm up:
She is a perfect horse for the adult amateur lady rider to have fun on and win in the show ring! New video 3-12-13
DeNira has turned out to be as good as I thought she would be when I bought her. She is perfect for the amateur lady rider- quiet, cooperative and a good mover. She has only been ridden a few times by Cara so far after Andy did his horse breaking magic with her in a short time period. She is still trying to find her balance under saddle, but I think you can see what potential is in there! Video taken 2-5-13:
Hi Mo, Just wanted you to see your lovely mare after her first day of light work at our farm. She’s doing fine and has
bonded already with Narda and me. She’s eager for human contact and is a delight to work with. Warmest wishes to you all. I’ll keep you posted.
Cindy
