2023 Black Oldenburg colt by Livaldon (Vivaldi/Donnerhall) out of Royal Lumiere (Starlight/Wildcard).

**** Updated new video from July 2024!!!
Drizzle is a beautifully put together colt with the sweetest disposition. Even in a growthy stage right now you will see that he naturally lifts his shoulders and has amazing balance. His canter is a highlight and flying changes are just plain easy for this guy. Drizzle is very brave and loves new things. He quietly walks over tarps and took to the jump chute immediately even turning around and jumping it the other way. :) If you are looking for an amazing performance partner this is your guy!
