Meet Canella (aka “Cinnamon”). This 4 year old Westphalian mare with lots of chrome by Con Capilot out of Eclaire (aka Escarda, a State Premium Hanoverian mare) by Escudo I is a very special girl. Lovely looks, lovely movement, lovely personality, terrific conformation, and so much potential. She is currently 16.3 hands and will likely top out around 17-17.1 hands. She already trailers, ties, clips, bathes, and is good for the blacksmith. Recent X-rays were clean, including her neck. She is a bona fide top prospect in multiple disciplines including Equitation, Jumper, and Hunter Derby.
Her sire, Con Capilot, is the product of superior jumping bloodlines including Contender, Capitol I, and Pilot. He passes on to his offspring his brilliant athleticism, enviable conformation, and fantastic temperament. He had top placings as a 4, 5, and 6 year old in the Young Jumper Classes, accomplishments that he continued when he moved up to the 1.40 meter classes, 7 and 8 year old classes, and then to the Grand Prix at multiple major shows. He finished his 2012 season with his first FEI World Cup Qualifier class in Las Vegas.
Cinnamon's dam, Eclaire (aka Escarda) was USDF Region 8 Champion mare and Reserve Champion mature horse in 2003. She continued garnering wins and high score awards in dressage and eventing even after having 5 foals. At 15 years of age, in 2016, she competed in USEA eventing and earned a Gold Medal in Novice, 5th in USEF for the NE region, and qualified and competed at Tryon in the USEA Championships at training level placing in the top 5 out of 30 in the dressage phase.
Cinnamon herself showed in hand at the USDF Breeders Championships for Region 8 as a foal, winning Champion filly foal and Reserve Champion foal in 2021. She has been in professional training for the past couple of months and is always willing and calm, riding alone or in company. She always wants to please her people and tries new things without drama. This is a rare opportunity to have a partner that will take you just as far as you want to go! She is located in northern NJ. Available for 35 carrots. Please PM for more information. Pictures courtesy of Kelly Lemenze Photography.
