VALENCIA  DE  VEZ

DOB March 9, 2004, PFHA# 44,300

A  RARE & UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY...

 
This is the horse you've been waiting for.  You're a proficient rider, and have had years of riding experience under your belt in order to be able to truly appreciate the  handling and responsiveness of this equine equivalent of a Ferrari - small, fast & agile, and best driven by a capable driver who can truly appreciate the experience.  On the ground, she seems demure and unassuming... but once you climb aboard and head for the trail, you'll be all smiles as this diminutive package turns into a no-nonsense, trail-eating machine.  She's all gait, gait, GAIT - very much like her sire, Sundancer Mako, Reserve National and Reserve Grand National Champion.  She's smart and can quickly size up her rider, but with someone on board who knows what they're doing, she's putty in your hands.

I bought her as a young filly directly from Barbara Preiss at La Cabelleriza Paso Finos in Florida, intending to have her as one of our foundation mares to breed due to her fabulous largo bloodlines (I still think she and Coral's Alejandro de Vez of Alrena Meadows would make a great match) - I never intended her for resale.  However, we already have another Sundancer Mako daughter (my prized mare, Catalina de Sundancer), so Valencia is being offered to a discriminating buyer who values all that the esteemed Coral LaCE bloodlines bring to the table and who would like to enhance their breeding program accordingly. 

Valencia turned 7 in 2011, and is all chestnut with a strikingly darker mane & tail (no white markings). She stands 13.2hh and is extremely well-gaited.  She has excellent ground manners - clips, bathes, good for farrier and trailers well. She shines on the trail - incredibly "no-nonsense"... has an excellent mind and knows how to use it.  While she prefers to lead, she also rides in the middle or back of  the trail.  Her best match will be someone who values her "largo" bloodlines as much as I do and is as capable as she is for years of trail riding happiness ahead.  We respectfully suggest that novice riders or first-time horse owners not inquire, unless you have compelling reasons that would convince me otherwise.
