Thempera, (Sjöfn): immaculately trained and very rideable mare with unmistakable FEI talent. Everything about her training from day one has been top notch, kind and classical.

This mare comes in a small package, perfect for a petite rider. The daughter of the European star stallion Tailormade Temptation, the sire of the record-breaking stallion Tomahawk, who sold at auction for 800,000 euros. The quality of her sire's movement shines through in this mare, with both the athleticism of her sire and the quiet intelligence of her dam to become an FEI horse. She has a quiet, very sweet, affectionate, thoughtful and sensible demeanor.
Nothing has been rushed with her preparation: classical foundations, meticulous attention to barn manners and care, this mare is being brought along carefully and with attention to being a suitable mount for a serious adult amateur or young rider with national ambitions. She goes out on hacks around the farm, and works seriously and willingly. She is good for the farrier and routine vaccinations with the veterinarian. She loads and trailers easily and well.
Her third level training was started over the winter of 2019-2020 and her lateral work is solid. Her changes have been started slowly and carefully in the winter of 2019-2020 in her fifth year, and are in progress and will not be a problem for her physical or mentally. Theya re not confirmed, but this is the next step in her training.
One might ask why this lovely horse is on the market. She was selected by an elderly rider (who has a good eye but less realism) who rides a few times a week and goes to small shows once or twice a year. It became apparent after much hemming and hawing and denial of the vicissitudes of rider age that this was a horse to not be kept in the backwaters. This is a mare who is able to really be the horse of a lifetime for a more serious competitor with national ambitions. She is amateur or junior friendly for an ambitious rider and is perfect for someone who is petite. She has been shown by a 15 year old girl and two professionals, all with high scores and many victories, including her 2019 Region 8 Reserve Champion Open and 8th in 2020 at 2nd Level Open at Regionals. She settles in very well at shows and new surroundings, and has a real “been there, done that” attitude toward new surroundings.
This lovely mare is priced to sell and will make someone with serious dressage ambitions very happy in every way.
