Raven NTF

(b. 3/3/93). Wall Street NTF (Winterstein) x Rambling Rose NTF. Out of the same mare line as Rosie, Raven came to live with us in the summer 2005 and is one of the gentlest and sweetest horses that we have ever had the pleasure of owning! At almost 15H, Raven combines size and substance with clean bones, excellent hindquarters (she has a fantastic hip length and angle), prominant withers, good feet and a kind and gentle temperment. These traits seem to consistently pass on to her foals, especially her wonderful temperament!

Raven has not been inspected due to an injury that she sustained before she came to live with us. She is open for 2009.

Raven is an experienced driving mare who is traffic safe and has extensive driving experience on the roads. She is currently doing well training under saddle. We don't advertise horses as "bomb-proof" , "baby-sitters", or child-safe, but if we did, Raven would fit this bill perfectly! She would make a wonderful companion for someone older looking for a quiet, safe horse to trail ride or drive, or for a family with young children looking for a safe, reliable mount that the kids could learn to groom, care for and do light riding (walking, trotting). (She would not be appropriate for someone looking for a horse to show or do hard riding--cantering, etc.)

With her excellent bloodlines combining the best that Austria and Holland have to offer, Raven would also be an excellent broodmare to add to one's breeding program. She consistently throws tall, modern-type Haflingers. Her last filly (out of Archimedes van Seadrift, an Amsterdam/Amadeus son/grandson) is turning into a beauty, with a long neck, long legs, and excellent conformation and color! We offer a free breeding (2008) to our stallion, Aufwiedersehen MLF (Vader), an Arno van het Nieshof son with outstanding movement. (Owner to pay postage for shipped semen.)

We would consider offering Raven for a "lifetime lease" to a good home looking for an exceptionally quiet, sweet, and gentle mare. Contact us for more information on price and terms. Serious inquiries only please.
