Kona is a lovely young filly. She has
been started under saddle, and is
displaying a great work ethic, a
wonderful quiet, willing disposition,
and three excellent quality gaits. She
is athletic and comfortable to ride, and
loves to work.
She is sired by
the International Jumper stallion
"Futurist". Futurist is a son of two
time Olympic Gold medal winner and
European Champion "For Pleasure" who has
been ridden for the German team so
successfully by Lars Nieberg and more
recently by Marcus Ehning. He is one of
the most sought-after sires in Germany.
For Pleasure is a son of the legendary
Anglo Norman "Furioso" who has greatly
influenced almost every German and
European riding horse breed. One of
Furioso's best known offspring is
Voltaire, sire of Beth Underhill's
Altair and Ian Miller's Play It Again.
Grannus's offspring are successful show
jumpers around the globe. The black
Anglo Arab "Matcho" was the winner of
the stallion performance test in
Adelheidsdorf in 1992 and he has since
founded his own stallion line in the
Hannoverian breed. His offspring are
well known for their versatility,
extraordinary rideability and good
character.
Kona is out of a
stunning competition mare by
International Grand Prix Holstein sire
Flipper. Kona's pedigree has given her
the foundation, quality, and substance
to be a very successful competition
horse in the Hunter or Jumper rings.
Don't miss out on this striking young
filly.
Most recently, Kona was
presented in the Governor General Cup
and Lieutenant Governor Cup Qualifiers
at the Royal Canadian Riding Academy
September 20th and October 11th. In
classes of over 40 horses, and judged by
Equine Canada Sanctioned judges
specialising in both Dressage and
Hunter, this filly turned heads and
placed very well. She was 4th overall
undersaddle, and not far off that in
hand. She will be competing at the 2009
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in both
Cup classes. Keep an eye for this
special young mare.
