Barcelona!! Wonderful girl, we just luv this mare and so does everyone she touches. A true old soul, very friendly and cuddly. Her ways just astound us. YOU CANNOT FIND A BETTER BRAIN THAN HERS! First she's super trainable. Mainly she's earthquake proof and hurricane proof! NEVER BATS AN EYE at anything. Doesn't mean she's a dead head, just very self confident and SOLID!
Perfect for AA or a junior, para or a kid even! We think she'd be a super para horse as her walk is huge, clear, & swingy! And light off the aids, etc. She never does any antics or anything stupid, just a good solid ride. Smooth to sit the trot, easy transitions walk to canter, etc. Pretty easy/ normal in contact and to put and keep together. Light modern type, just a tall drink o' water!
Smart and gets the work, she luvs to please every single day. Schooling 3rd plus piaffe/ passage is started. Half steps good. She'll be super for upper level work. She was being ridden a few months after weaning her 2022 foal in Germany, and started nicely under saddle there as a 3 yr old, bred to Beck's there, and did her mare performance test where she gained Premium Mare status.
Competed 1st, you can load up, haul over to shows, tack up at trailer, hop on from the fender and go to your warm up!! She's great in a crowd, we have tons of clips, will try to put them on youtube so I can post here as well.
Barcelona's strong pedigree speaks volumes...B-line x Diamond Hit, world stage on both sides. She herself is SPS (States Premium) mare and did her mare performance test in Germany right before I imported her. So her sire who's one of the most correct movers I've ever seen, and by Beltano, goes to Belissimo M who goes to Bolero--the strength & bone. Also goes to Florestan on his dam side!!! Her Dam I also had and imported years ago, by Diamond Hit who is of course by the infamous Don Schufro out of Elite Loretta (also Sandro Hit's dam among other top stallions like Royal Hit).
We're looking for as close to $150k as possible however we're very open minded, and want a great match. The match & house is the main thing for me. So we figured somewhere between $120-150k is totally fine, payments ok w/ good down. My personal horses come with a guarantee, and this one for life! Meaning if at any time she's not a match just ship her back to me. Maybe shoot me an email about your riding, budget, what you are looking for in your feel/ ride as this is what it's all about. And we'll see if you could be a match. [email protected]
Barcelona had a 2022 colt in Germany, who we're raising as a stallion prospect (Beck's who's Benicio x Desperados). Boss is an insane mover, dark golden chestnut with 4 tall stockings, and he's already 16.2h--gonna be huge like 18h.
And we did Embryo transfer for a 2024 filly by Nick of Diamond (Toto Jr. (Totilas x Desperados) x Johnson). Nugget, her barn name for now, is quite the stunning one--perfect conformation, long legs, uphill build, dark liver with 3 stockings!
Thnx!
