Stunning all around prospect with outstanding broodmare potential

Are you looking for a top quality prospect who is ready to finish in any direction? Are you on the hunt for an all around partner who is game to try just about anything? Do you want to hit the trails in style and tackle all the obstacles? Do you want a partner that can do it all and has the goods to make you beautiful babies? Regardless of the question, this jaw dropping mare is the answer! 

WT Hepburn is at 16.1hh, 8yo imported Holsteiner mare by Kannan, international Grand Prix stallion, out of Bella XXV. She is beautifully put together with perfect confirmation and a very kind eye. You will not find a mare as sweet as this anywhere. Hepburn will call out in joy when her people approach, has perfect ground manners, will tie anywhere, loves to be loved on and get pampered, and is great for farrier and vet. Hepburn will lower her head to take the bit, pick you up at the mounting block, stand perfectly still until you are ready to ride, and will happily go western or english based on her riders desires. There isn’t an obstacle we’ve thrown at Hepburn that she hasn’t navigated with ease, and she rides the trails with a rambunctious pup nipping at her heels. Hepburn has never put a foot in the wrong place and takes incredible care of her people. Off balance? Hepburn will slow down until you find your seat again. Need to get off to grab a drink? Hepburn will ground tie until you are ready, then come to you when you ask.  

Originally started by Colts Unlimited at Wild Turkey Farms, Hepburn has been in professional training her whole life and is very well schooled on the flat with a great dressage foundation. She is an outstanding mover and boasts three impressive gaits that show talent for both collection and extension. She has a beautiful overstep at the walk, her trot has ample suspension, and her canter is pure and rhythmic with keen expression. She is currently schooling 1st Level Dressage with some 2nd Level movements, but also has some experience with jumping, and has exceptional form over fences. Hepburn has competed at rated Working Equitation shows and is currently in full time training with a western dressage and obstacle trainer. She has the ability to switch from maintaining a naturally low headset in self carriage at a beautiful jog to maintaining contact in ground covering working trot and back again. Hepburn is a refined woman who appreciates subtle aids and responds in kind with willingness and softness. She is extremely patient with children and novices but would excel with an experienced, confident rider who enjoys a variety of disciplines. 

Hepburn is a pure delight to have around. We absolutely love her and so does her family! She is only being offered up to the right home as her potential exceeds her current novice owner’s goals. A good home that will continue to love her and develop her into a star is most important. She is being sold with a right of first refusal. Sound and pre-purchase exams are welcome at Buyer’s expense. Sellers can help arrange transport if necessary. 

Proudly shown in partnership by Core Equestrian and De Frates Horsemanship; Hepburn is available to see now in Gilroy, CA. Asking $32,000. Contact Dana at [email protected] to schedule your visit.
