"Sydney"
Imported FEI level Oldenburg mare by Sion. 14 year old, 17 hands, dark, dark brown, beautiful and kind.
This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase this imposing mare who is ready to canter down the "big ring" centerline. Sydney will show PSG this year, and is schooling the upper FEI level movements. She has been ridden by a junior with scores in the high 60's and 70's!! The judges love her movement and her correct way of going.
Sydney will suit a competant amateur, a young rider, or even a professional rider. She has had more than one lovely foal in Europe.
Sydney was fantastic at the recent Dressage at Del Mar competition at Showpark. I showed her at 4th level where she got 65%. The next day I showed her at 3rd level. I had one of my best tests ever. It was a load of fun, she was forward, supple and responsive. She got 2nd place and 67%. The judges in both tests loved her!

"Jasmine For Lease"
Jasmine is now available for lease at Dove Hollow Dressage in Encinitas, CA. She is a stunning bay mare, standing 16.1 hands. Jasmine is a delight to ride, calm and comfortable but forward thinking. She is easy to put on the aids in a snaffle bridle, and her lateral work is outstanding. She does her changes to 2 times. It will be possible for the right rider to show Jasmine, and she does go on trails with other horses.
We are looking for someone to lease her by next month (December 15th) but will be vetting applicants and will require referances as this is such a special mare and she deserves that we take precautions.
The successful applicant will be required to pay half of Jasmine's costs, and will be required to take regular lessons with Liz Hopps McConnell.
If you are interested in finding out more information you can contact Liz at (302) 685 0237 or you can contact Jasmine's owner, Johanna at (619) 788 7901.
PHOENIX
7 year old Holstein gelding. Bright bay, 16.2 hands. Super handsome!
Phoenix is such a wonderful horse to be around and work with. On the ground you will not find a sweeter horse. He will let you sit on him while he is lying down! He is so trusting.
Phoenix is schooling 3rd level. He has his changes, and his lateral work is so easy for him. He is developing a beautiful collected trot, and when I work him in hand he shows from nature the mechanics of a fabulous piaffe. It is easy for him, no rough aids needed!!
Phoenix went to the Dressage Affaire in Del Mar recently. He was fantastic, there was so much going on and he coped so well. He got in the top three in all of his classes (Open level) and he got over 69% in his first test! He was quiet in his stall, the braider did not even need to tie him in his stall, He loved all the attention!

MARIUS HAS BEGUN HIS CHANGES!! NOT SOLID YET BUT VERY RELAXED AND VERY EXPRESSIVE!! He is also showing an international calibre PASSAGE! This is a super talent!
Marius showed at Dressage at Del Mar. In his first competition ever he won both of his Training level test 4. The first day he got 75.6% and the second day, a little fatigued but still very obedient, he got 72%.
His score of 75.6% was impressive enough to win the Overall High Score for the whole competition!!

"UBRAMINO" SOLD!!
Imported by Norbert Geiling - 13yr old, 16.3 hand, chestnut Belgian Warmblood gelding. Ubi is such a handsome boy, he is kind but forward going. He is very safe for the beginning rider, but he is a ton of fun for the more advanced rider.
Ubramino has won championships at 2nd level, has competed at 3rd level and is schooling 4th level. He is quiet and focused in the worst of conditions at competition and will give the most nervous rider confidence.
Ubramino is comfortable and he is one of those horses that could be nicknamed BOB, born on the bit. He is so easy to put on the aids.

CONGRATULATIONS to Susan who purchased Ubramino. She was the first rider to come and see him at Dove Hollow and was smart not to walk away and let anyone else try him!! He has moved to Fresno with Susan, and then to Michigan in the spring.
