Lark is a 5yo 16hh flashy Oldenburg mare currently in training for eventing. The only reason she is available is that her owner is heading off to college this fall and cannot afford to take Lark with her.

Sire/Dam info (text copied from Lark's original ad by Crooked Creek Farm): "Lark's dam, Alexa, is out of the Elite Hanoverian mare, Faralyssa, who was Champion of her Hanoverian Performance Test at Spruce Meadows, Alberta, Canada and was awarded her Elite Mare status. She is by the Hanoverian stallion, Foxhunter, out of a Singular Joter mare. Foxhunter passes on his sound strength of character and good rideability along with his jumping talent. His offspring are very successful in show jumping. Faralyssa's dam sire, Singular Joter scored an incredible 156.11 in jumping, placing him 1st of 72 stallions at his performance test in Adelheidsdorf, Germany. He is described as having "Textbook manner with tremendous ability" in jumping. He is a proven producer of offspring successful in show jumping, as well as talent for dressage, passing on his above average gaits. Alexa’s sire, the approved Hanoverian stallion Autocrat, was imported from the Celle State Stud, Germany. He sired the 2010 USDF Horse of the Year Materiale 4 or 5 yr old mare, 2 Toronto Royal Governor General's Cup Reserve Champions (2008 & 2010), 2010 Toronto Royal 5th place horse in the Lieutenant Governor's Cup, Elite Hanoverian Mares, Hunter Champions, Hack Champions & Provincial Dressage Champions.Lark’s sire, Lestat is a beautiful, very typey stallion, with excellent rideablity, very elastic movement, and a beautiful scopey jump. After his importation from Germany, Lestat made his hunter debut in 2015, winning and placing in the 3'6 hunters as well as the bigger hunter derbies. Lestat impressed those who saw him with him beautiful way of going, beautiful jump, and his temperament and rideability. Lestat’s sire Lordanos has an unparalleled character, extraordinary ridability and was an extremely talented show jumper. He has produced a very large number of incredibly successful offspring and he is regarded as one of the greatest sires in the world. He is highly sought after not only in the jumper ring, but is also the sire of many top hunters in North America. In 2013, Lordanos was named the top jumper sire in the United States by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF)."

Lark is registered and was given a “Premium” award by the Oldenburg Verband at her foal inspection.

Lark was imported in June 2021 from Canada unstarted and unridden, however during this past year her owner has been working with an amazing natural horsemanship trainer to teach her everything slow and steady. She has been brought along carefully and correctly and can now walk, trot, canter, and jump small obstacles. Lark has been off property to school XC and is planning to attend a mini event in early August.

With incredible conformation and floaty supple movement, Lark is highly sensitive, intelligent, and sweet. Not at all marish, she has an in-your-pocket personality and loves to approach whoever comes to the gate. She is light in the bridle and works hard to please. She loves to work and absolutely LOVES to jump. She is careful yet confident, and with natural talent easily finds her distance. While she is still green and has nervous moments to work through, Lark is safe and has never unseated a rider. I have trusted her with multiple young children. Lark needs someone who values her heart – she is the kind of horse who will give every essence of her being for the person she loves and trusts, and she shows incredible potential in any direction: eventing, dressage, jumping, hunters, eq, etc.

Lark has been under saddle since September 2021 and has been in training with my trainer as well as myself through this time. She has the potential to succeed in a wide variety of disciplines, however, she would be best suited for someone with experience given her age and experience.

Lark does have a scar on her left hind leg (white) from a pasture injury she sustained as a 3yo in Canada. X-rays and vet checks have confirmed that the injury is superficial and it has not impacted her movement or caused lameness in any way.

X-rays available to serious parties.
