Fiona TYG

Fiona was foaled August 2019 and currently stands 16.1 hands. She developed late, so we gave her time to grow into herself, She is thoughtful and intelligent ,likes consistency, is sure footed, brave, thinks jumping is interesting, and, like most mares, develops a special bond to her "person". When training her, she thinks about things, then once she "gets it" she keeps it forever. Because she is by the "Hannovarian stallion of the year", Fabriano, with a Pas de Deux/Halo mare, she acclimates well to hot summer temperatures..

Note about the pictures above:

The above chute jumping picture was taken during one of her first jumping attempts (to see if she liked it and to assess her potential). She is showing much more bascule when she takes larger jumps... but that flat back over small jumps is an equitation riders dream. We plan to do more free jumping this fall with more height and breadth.
Fiona's full brother (see Fenomenon aka Flareon/Muffin) in the last two pictures above) was sold to an Eventing trainer in North Carolina and was registered Trakaener. He is pictured in the last two photos above, ridden by his trainer and owner of MacJordan Training Stables, and currently eventing in Kentucky/Carolinas piloted successfully by , a teenage eventer

BLOODLINE REFERENCES

She has a special pedigree with the rare "old fashioned' Hanoverian sire FABRIANO crossed with arguably the best of American Thoroughbred DNA (see Dam info below). Later in her life, she could also be a fabulous broodmare or embryo transplant donor (the very successful hunter/Hanoverian sire, Westport, is of the Fabriano/Weltmeyer line and Debbie McDonald's last dressage horse Felix was a Fabriano son.)

Fiona's mother (Didn't You Know AKA Carmen) is a Northern Dancer, Pas de Nom, Distorted Humor, Seattle Slew, mare (see Didn't You Found under the "Bloodline References" tab).

Fiona's sire is "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" Fabriano, a quality versatile Celle Hanovarian stallion. https://ihb.com.au/product/fabriano
