Minglewood Sport Horses extends a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Denny Emerson for the purchase of the wonderful mare, Valonia !! Valonia will be ridden by Lila Gendal. We look forward to following Valonia's career as a 3-day horse.
Valonia is a gorgeous, 17.1H, 2005 Holsteiner mare (Contester/Ariadus/Marlon stamm 223b), bred by Minglewood Sport Horses. Valonia has huge, elastic gaits and a wonderful, tractable temperament. Valonia had a very successful year on the 2008 breed show circuit, demonstrating her talent and her winning attitude. She is not yet started under saddle, but is lunging and ready for a job. She is a good candidate for the FEI young horse classes. Valonia’s video from her AHHA inspection in 10/08 can be seen here:
