Well, the amazing Chris Murray has already posted, but I have to do my own post - what a fantastic weekend making the wonder pony an official FEI pony! Very respectable scores at PSG and only first place ribbons… with some silly “slap the rider, pat the horse” moments 😝 I really think that the judges should actually give extra credit when you successfully do two sets of three tempis instead of a set of fours and a set of threes, right?! Mom brain… 🤦‍♀️

In all seriousness though, I’m so grateful for Chris allowing me to show off her boy. I’m so happy to be a part of team Zorro 🤗🤗🤗

Charismatic red dun oversized German Riding Pony mare (Golden State/Grusus/Akzent I). 2016, 15.3h. Glamour Girl has high quality gaits; powerful hind end for trot and canter, and a huge overtrack in the walk. Talent and presence to do FEI. Forward thinking without being silly, bold, and uncomplicated to ride. Schooling second level. Very suitable for an AA or a junior.

Her sire, Golden State, had an early start to his career started off very young with a reserve championship at the German Foal Championships in 2009. At his licensing in 2011, he was named Premium and the following year he was the 3yo Westfalen Champion and Bundeschampion - his high score of 9.56 still holds the record today! Since his import to the USA, he has continued to rack up accomplishments including 2014 USDF Horse Of The Year and 2016 NDPC AA Champion at 3rd Level.

Her damsire, Grusus, was a classically bred Elite, Class 1 Hannoverian stallion. He was imported from Germany and has produced many successful dressage and jumping horses.

“Gigi” is a fun horse to have in the barn. She has a very playful and friendly personality, very happy to work in the arena one day and hack out on the trails the next. Would make a very interesting jumping prospect as well. Sound with no vices. X-rays on file. Located in Snohomish, WA.'

**Edit 11/29** I can't believe this amazing mare is still available! Lowered asking price - Owner very motivated, must sell for personal reasons.

Top quality 5 year old Dutch Warmblood mare with excellent gaits and potential. Scopey and powerful with lots of expression and a powerful hind leg coupled with lots of shoulder freedom. Will be competitive in the Young Horse classes with lots of athletic ability for FEI as well. Super temperament. Brave and confident enough for an amateur or junior with the talent for a pro. Starting to school Second Level. She is one of the last horses from the top breeding program, Red Wagon Farm - this mare was a "keeper" for the breeder until her untimely passing.

Her sire, Goodtimes, is known mostly for his jumping career, but has also produced USDF Horse of the Year offspring. A few highlights include - Son Obelix won the Grand Prix and the World Cup Qualifier of Spruce Meadows in 2006. Daughter Lenie became 3rd in the World Cup Qualifier of Dubai and son Kenwood was winner of the Stallion jumping in Neustadt Dosse. Fabius 45 and his young rider A. Bond were the youngest combination at the trials for the Olympics in the USA. His daughter Tequila won the Championship of the 5 year old horses in Wellington and son Lifetime was ‘Hunter of the Year’ three times in the USA. Goodtimes produces good movers and power from behind for both dressage and jumping.

Her damline has produced horses who have competed in the Young Horse national championships in the USA. Her damsire, Farrington is a Keur stallion, proven to produce Grand Prix dressage horses. He is one of the few approved stallions with the blood of Doruto in his veins. Doruto sired many top dressage horses such as: Olympic Barbia, Chevalier, Ideall, and more. In Farrington's stallion test, he received an 8 for gaits and 9 for temperament. Additionally, her great grandsire, Cabochon, was lauded as the "stallion with the best trot" at the stallion show in Utrecht. In 2000, Cabochon was awarded the Keur predicate by the KWPN thanks to his exceptional heritability qualities. Cabochon had the power to captivate and mesmerize everybody with his power, expression and movement.

Libby has inherited a very sweet and personable temperament, easy to handle on the ground. No "mare-ish" tendencies. She has a brave personality, is up for anything, and is very happy to hack out on the trails. Sound with no vices. Comprehensive set of x-rays on file.

Super fancy FEI prospect - my loss is your gain!
2016 Registered Danish Warmblood Mare, Don Caruso/Rambo.

Exceptional gaits and the sweetest personality ever! Started under saddle, had a few months off this winter, and now Covid-19 has kept me from getting her back in training.

Located in Snohomish, WA

My youngest client and his steed apparently felt the need to take a little rest in the lounge before their grueling lesson. Brandy has a pretty tough life 😜

A timely quote 🙂 I’ve been thinking about this recently with the horses I’ve been riding... how can I get the to want to try, want to learn, want to please? Not because I’m forcing them to do so, but because they want to be on my side. Loved this article!

She knows what she's talking about! In case you missed it, check out our conversation with international competitor and trainer JJ tate on what it takes to train a horse who loves to give their best.
