Refined elegance is how I would describe
this girl. She is a
Thoroughbred/Oldenburg cross. Circe is
6 years old and 15 hands. She has no
vices and is sound. Her movement is
outstanding, especially if considering
the hunter shows. Although her breeding
screams eventing. Video available.
Circe was bred by a prominent horseman
in our community and has very strong
jumping lines. At any rate this girl
has enough raw talent for any job. She
is well broke and ready to continue on
to a specific discipline. Circe's
mother, Arielle retired from eventing as
a grade 2 eventer if Judy had stuck it
out another year or so she'd have made
grade 1 just on her past xc performance.
She was AHSA Zone 3 Horse of the Year
Training level champion in 1989 and HOTY
preliminary champ in 1991. She was 5th
in her first 3-day, then still called
preliminary, at Essex in 1991, completed
Radnor Preliminary 3DE in 1992, and was
on the winning Prelim team at the
Chronicle of the Horse East Adult Team
Champs in 1993 . Scads of wins at
training and prelim from Pennsylvania to
North Carolina in the late 80s and early
90s. Was 3rd in her only intermediate
horse trials at Middleburg. Circe's
papa, Bacchanal, is by the TB Innkeeper
(Secretariat/Mr. Prospector/Northern
Dancer) out of a half-tb mare, Springer,
whose sire was San Diego (Oldenburg) and
dam was a tb known as Up and Coming who
was junior hunter champion in MD and VA
for several years. Her registered name
is unknown, as are her whereabouts,
unfortunately. Springer had 3 babies for
me, Bacchanal was her first. So there's
a lot of jumping in Ms. C's history,
although Springer and Bacchanal never
showed. Circe is offered at $3,500 and
located in Upper Marlboro, MD, at
Leighton Farm. For more information,
contact me.
Price: $ 3,500
