Rey (aka Aurora TYG)

Rey is a fancy, talented, focused 15.2h, TOBIANO Warmblood German Riding Pony. She is being sold because her rider/trainer has graduated from college has moved to LA to start her “real” career.

Rey has been primarily trained in dressage for the past 7 months, and she appears to have FEI potential. Prior to our losing our trainer and rider Heidi Masem, she was doing lower-level dressage and training second level movements. She likes going out on tails and was doing hill work for conditioning. Her off- the-ranch experience includes being started at 5 by a Vaquero (who felt she could easily Piaffe) and a few months training last winter with eventing trainer John Strassburger. She returned home for Heidi to ride in December 2020 to continuing her dressage training at our ranch in Winters. She is very athletic, with smooth yet expressive movement. She has great free jumping form, being chute jumped once a week for variety.

Rey's maternal grandfather, Rubino Bellimissimo (Rubinstein, Bolero, Shogun), was a talented FEI Dressage horse and and ParOlympician. He was shown Grand Prix at 9 years old, and then in his teens partnered with an 18 yr old ParOlympian “young rider”, Holly Bergen, who showed him at I-3 with scores in the high 60's, then trained with the USA Team in Gladstone. Rey's paternal grandfather, Art Deco, an imported Dutch stallion, gave her her striking coloration, and is well known for throwing offspring talented in dressage and eventing.

Rey is very smart , sensitive and forward. She should make an outstanding dressage partner with a patient, quiet and sensitive intermediate rider. Since she very sensitive to body aids, so she does best with a confident rider who weighs under 145lbs.
