Stunning Kjento mare. Dam was top filly at her inspection, showed at Devon that Fall and won Fillies of the Current Year, Reserve Champion Foal and Champion of USDFBC East Coast Champions. Dam’s Dam produced approved stallion Shakespeare and FEI horse Whitman.

Raven as I call her, is a lovely mare, with wonderful temperament and exceptional bloodlines. Her Dam was top filly at her inspection, showed at Devon that Fall and won Fillies of the Current Year, Reserve Champion Foal and Champion of USDFBC East Coast Champions. Her full brother is currently showing 1st/2nd Level and was just Reg 2 Champion for Second Level AA and Freestyle AA. The Dam’s Dam produced approved stallion Shakespeare and FEI horse Whitman.

I had strong hopes of her going very far in an upper-level dressage career, but sadly she has medical issues which presented themselves at a vet check and I am subsequently selling her at a very reduced price. Raven has been in young horse boarding at a prestigious farm for a few years and has blossomed as a sweet, well-tempered horse. It is possible that she could be started and ridden, I am just not willing to put additional money into that. Approximately a year ago she had surgery to remove a bone chip in her knee and hock. I have been told by the vets that she will tell me how far she can go riding wise, so I suspect she could be a lower-level horse, but there are of course no guarantees. She has a few medical conditions that may be from malnutrition as a young horse. She was boarded out of state for the first year of her life and when I received her at a year old from the breeder, she had a very poor malnourished body condition. If you would like the pictures of her when I received her, I can share those.

Although she appeared to bounce back while in exceptional care, a vet check revealed medical issues. I want to be fully transparent regarding her in general. I am losing a lot of money on this mare and my goal is not to fire sell her, I want her to have a wonderful home with someone who understands that life happens and that this is a very nice horse with a great life ahead of her. These are the medical conditions I am aware of and this is from the barn manager: "There is the parrot mouth (which she eats well/maintains weight fine and just requires 2x/year dental visits). For chips, she had the large left front knee chip removed, the joint shows arthritis and it’s the biggest question mark for soundness. None of the vets felt this knee chip was an OCD but more likely an old injury (although none known/identified in her history). Since surgery, I think most days she looks good but occasionally we do see a shortness. There was also a chip in the right hock that was removed and did show some arthritis in hocks although that is a more forgiving area to manage. She has small non-articular avulsion fractures off both front sesamoids (these shouldn't be a problem)." She was placed on Adequan after surgery.
