Rich Rousseau
2008 Hanoverian Gelding Rousseau x Bordeaux

Richie is a quiet sweet hanoverian gelding who would love his own adult am or junior rider.  Solid second level with a nice half pass started.  Has shown and is quiet away from home.  Hacks out nicely.  Smooth and easy to sit - fancy soft gaits.  Easy in bridle - goes in a snaffle or double.  Not hot or spooky so gives confidence to timid riders - only for sale as I would like something that is hotter.   Has also started some work over fences so could work as a hunter too. 30k  Possible trade for younger horse of similar quality.  Full xrays available.

Eileen
11yr Trak. mare

Fun black sports car of a dressage mare with a tremendous work ethic and sweet nature! Shown at Intro (scores in the 70s), Training level, and First Level. A powerful compact package that is light in the contact, sensitive to the aids, and easy to sit. Forward thinking but not at all spooky. Solid walk trot canter and leg yields, and developing medium gaits, walk-canter transitions, shoulder-in, haunches in and baby half pass- a super quick learner. Changes will come easy to this one. She would be farther along except she was started late (previous owners lost interest before starting her). Perfect for the rider who has learned the basics and wants to move on to the next steps or for a rider without a huge budget looking to make a big impact. Not mareish and very willing. Also hacks out on the trails. Loads bathes clips well. Registered with the American Trakehner Association (ATA). 2006 model- 11 years old. Could be fun to develop then breed. Currently being ridden by a USDF Bronze Medalist and L Grad dressage judge who is loving working with her. Message on Facebook or contact at 517-507-9751 or sharij87@yahoo.com.
