2018 Bay Hanoverian MARE IN FOAL to Escudo I

$28,000

Mare by Rapture R (Rotspon), out of VT Kudos (Arrian/Weinstein). Reserve filly at Hanoverian inspection.

Raptura ESH is by Rapture R. Rapture R’s pedigree reads like a “who’s who” of the most influential sport horses in history. Rubinstein, Donnerhall, Weltmeyer, known as the Royal Dressage Line, have been on top of the World Dressage Breeding rankings for years. His damline is equally impressive, with five of the first seven mares in his pedigree being Elite or SPS. Rapture R’s 100-Day Test jumping score (135.33) supports the fact that he is a remarkable jumper. With his dressage score of 143.20, he qualifies as one of the few Class I Elite Hanoverian stallions in the country. Rapture R’s superior breeding and quality has translated to the show ring.

Reena is out of VT Kudos, is a very pretty registered Oldenburg mare, though she is 100% Hanoverian by breeding and approved into the Main Mare Book of the American Hanoverian Society. She is by Arrian (Al Capone/Orbis) and out of the mare, Champagne Flight (Weinstein/Furka). Al Capone was a highly regarded Celle stallion and member of the Celle Stallion Quadrille, while his sire, Argentan, was known for producing dressage and show jumping horses. Arrian scored 8's and 9's on character, temperament, and willingness to work in his performance test. He has competed successfully in breed shows, dressage, and hunters. After his first foal crop, the inspectors commented “it is hard for us to imagine a better first foal crop for any young stallion”. His foals have also included many top foals of inspections sites and breed show successes. Arrian's offspring have proven themselves under saddle, particularly his daughters who, by their Mare Performance Test results (together with inspections scores) have put Arrian among the AHS’S leading stallions for producing Elite Mares and Elite Mare Candidates. Arrian is produces outstanding movement and type in his foals and has offspring competing in dressage and hunters.

Reena is a classically beautiful mare. She has three phenomenal gaits and a super type. The inspectors loved her at her foal inspection, awarding her Reserve Filly.

She has foaled a gorgeous Dubarry filly 2/22/22. She is in foal to Escudo I for a March 2023 foal. She is lightly started under saddle and has been very easy to start. She is appropriate for an amateur to bring along.
