In Utero - Trinity-Lael, 2008 Foal by Rubino Bellissimo out of Holsteiner Champion mare, $13,000

Trinity-Lael is a Holsteiner mare out of our mare Danube by Riverman. This extraordinary large-gaited movement and her feminine, balanced conformation have won her many local and national awards. She was a premium foal and site champion as a weanling at the AHHA keuring. As a yearling, she was the filly champion at the Cosequin/USDF Breeder’s Championships for Region V with a score of 81.250 percent. Under Judge Hilda Gurney, Trinity also captured the reserve championship in the Arizona Dressage Association’s Breeder’s Choice class and the championship ribbon in the ADA Grand Champion class at the series finals in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In October of 2006, again Trinity-Lael was dubbed not only the AHHA approvals site champion but a premium mare select with 51 points, one of the top 12 mares in the U.S. The following week, we put her through the Oldenburg approvals. There, German judge Christian Schacht announced her scores totaling 110 to the crowd and stated that only two mares scored higher in the U.S. He said he had just come from Holstein, Germany, and thinks this mare is better than those he just judged in Holstein, Germany, quite an accolade for a small breeding farm here in the states As a three-year old, she has been started and is improving with each ride at training level dressage. Trinity-Lael possesses correct movement, athletic conformation, pizzazz, a quiet disposition, sensibility, and large “clockwork gaits,” as Hilda Gurney described.

Trinity’s qualities along with Rubino Belissimo’s purport this 2007 foal to be a potential-plus athlete. $13,000 in Utero, $18,000 Weanling. Email breeder or call: 480.515.9235

In-Utero - 2008 Foal by Rubino Bellissimo out of Danube (LeSanto) Champion Holsteiner mare, $12,000

Danube out of Orthella by Othello Marlon by Lesanto was a premium foal born in 1989 and took the highest scoring foal at her AHHA keuring. As a four-year old, she was bonited and scored 46 points out of 50 as a premium mare, one of the top scores in the U.S. Since AHHA changed the scoring system, she would now be a premium mare select, the same as her daughter Trinity-Lael. This mare has the whole package—quiet disposition; willingness to please; quick to learn; large, steady gaits—won many three-day events in her younger days with dressage scores in the 70’s, the ability to jump with no stops, and the forward, steady “go” on the cross country course. She now provides bomb-proof rides for the grandchildren.

When campaigned in 2004 with her son Remaliah and daughter Trinity-Lael for our breeding program, Danube earned the Cosequin/USDF Breeder’s Championship for Yeld Mares Ages 4 and Older (15 years old at the time) as well as the Arizona Dressage Mature horse Championship and the ADA Reserve Grand Championship, second only to her own daughter Trinity-Lael.

Rosinante, 2001 Hanoverian Mare $15,000

Elegant mare by Rubino Bellissimo out of AHS mare by Batido (Bolero X Wendekreis), which gives her two crosses to this valuable “B” line in addition to being a Rubinstein granddaughter. This blood guarantees super rideability. Although she has been used mostly as a broodmare, she received 90 days pro training in ’07 and proved to be not only talented, but very willing and extremely safe. Ruby would be suitable for a young rider or an AA – she adores people and is extremely social towards everyone. She is a total charmer – you will fall in love with this unique gal. Her pedigree points towards dressage or lower level eventing (Ruby loved the jumping chute!). She is approved AHS and RPSI. Ruby has had two foals, including RPSI inspection-site winner “Sef,” (Sempatico) in ’06. Sef not only was awarded a Gold Premium grading, but his score of 8.3 ranked him in the top 20 in the nation of the 600 foals inspected that year! I would prefer Ruby go to a home where riding would be her primary job, as she seems to crave more human attention. She is modestly priced at $15,000 to insure flexibility in this matter. I will even consider payments for the perfect owner. Contact Katrina at (208)265-4837 or email recklessheartranch@verizon.net for more info and an extensive video. Click here to see a short video.
