I slightly broke the 'pony only' rule when I saw this fabulous mare. She was doing a small dressage routine at a nearby farm and I asked after her as she reminded me of Fudge, my palomino haflinger. I found to my surprise, I found out she was an Avelignese mare and was half haflinger by a well-blooded stallion I had heard lots about. When I found out she was for sale, I put in the $500 instantly and have never regretted it.
Ode is a promising mare in dressage. I originally bought her as a broodmare, but while we were witing for a suitable stallion to be free, I decided to show her and after seeing the grace of her paces I found out that I had a new dressage horse. We have also started jumping her and she looks like she could be a promising hunter, with the right build and ability for higher levels of jumping. Ode is a fantastic broodmare, we were originally going to use her as a carrier mare for embryo transfers, but when we found out her bloodlines we decided to breed her first. She is a brilliant mother, but a tad overprotective and she has even 'adopted' an orphan foal before and mothered him while we bottlefed him. She is a very loving mare and very special to everyone who knows her. |
