Danish Warmblood -

This lovely 2021 dark bay filly is built and bred for upper levels. She is the 5th generation of a careful, successful breeding program.

This filly represents the 5th generation of the Wildest Expectations Farm's Nationally and Internationally recognized breeding program. It is with great anticipation that we look forward to this new, exceptional generation. You can see four of the five generations here on the farm. The fifth is training and competing successfully with her owner in Vermont.

What a beautiful filly! Rona has presence and movement. She uses her body so well. Her trot is animated, she articulates her hocks and reaches deep underneath herself lifting herself. Currently 15.1h

We believe in full disclosure. We have an open book policy on all our vet records for every horse we have bred and have for sale. If you want to call our veterinarians to have a copy of life time veterinary care simply ask us, we'll be happy to share.

9/7/24 We sent Rona through the jump chute today for the first time. The height is just concept jumping and the goal was simply not to stop. She never considered the possibility of avoiding or stopping. A couple of times she even jumped a bit! What a good girl!

8/29/24 Today Rona was long lining in the training ring she cantered for the first time, we'll get some video of that soon, but what we did get a short clip of was she did trotting figure 8's for the first time! She has only just learned to change directions at the trot and maintain her pace and today she was changing directions one after another after another! Then to a beautiful, square, no fussing halt! What a good girl!

8/16/24 Rona is making great progress long lining. She is thoughtful and enjoys the learning process. We took her from a small safe training ring to the big wide open paddock then had a great finish back in the ring!

12/9/23 We have started ground work with Rona. She is so smart, she figures things out quickly and this has been no exception. She has had the harness on 3 times now. We added the surcingle with a pair of bells then walked her in the chute. Rona was non-reactive to everything.
