Felecia Francesca
Height: 16.0 hands, Colour: Chestnut, Breed: Westfalen Mare, Year born: 2004
This coming 6-year-old, 16h, Westfalian chestnut mare with lots of chrome is by the Westfalian State Stud stallion Fuerst Picollo; out of a mother by the Hanoverian stallion Maraschino. Fuerst Picollo has current successes in PSG and has lots of successful offspring that are easy to train and have lots of dressage potential.
Francesca is a very pretty and happy mare with an extremely positive attitude. She is curious, calm, safe, easy to train, willing and forward thinking. All three basic gaits are exceptional: floating, ground covering trot, canter with lots of suspension and elasticity, as well as a rhythmic and active walk. She is easy to collect with good lateral movements: shoulder in and half passes in trot, and has started half passes in canter. Counter canter, walk half pirouettes, simple changes, and starting flying changes in both directions. Very powerful extended movements! Definitely a future FEI Horse with an abundance of talent! She won first level shows last year, has confirmed movements 'FEI 5-year-old' tests, training 'FEI 6-year-old' now. She is great on the trails, easy to handle and doesn't have any vices. A true sweetheart with lots of potential! She is best suited for a serious competitive amateur, professional or a Junior/Young Rider, who has already done 2nd level or higher and wants to have an up and coming show horse for the upper levels.
Francesca is also a proven broodmare, and entered into the Hanoverian studbook with highest scores. She has produced a striking filly out of the Hanoverian State Stud stallion Dancier. She gives her beautiful type, positive, calm attitude and exceptional gaits on to her progeny. This is an over all outstanding mare!
