a full sister to Zavanna.
Katy says: "Delta is an
absolutely fabulous mare-- I would not trade her for the world;
I've been traveling quite a bit with my job and every barn we
stop at I get such compliments on her... She will jump anything
you point her nose at-- tires, barrels, water, ditches, coups,
benches, you name it, she wants to jump it! Never have I had a
refusal or run out-- she may look at it long and hard in her
approach (swapping leads every other side, etc.) but always
decides the fun of jumping outweighs whatever scary obstacle
I've chosen... the first time I ever took her out over a real
cross country course for some serious schooling, she was popping
over the beginner novice and novice jumps so easily that we
aimed for a training level fence and she didn't even think about
it, made the crazy training line to the next fence and -- same
result -- soared over it. When I came here to Kentucky there is
a great park with beginner novice through training fences that
anyone can go school whenever. First time out at Masterson, we
warmed up over some of the smaller jumps then went out and
jumped the entire training course -- verticals, stairs, our
first down bank, uphills, downhills, into trees, out of trees --
she never once balked! Thank you for such a wonderful friend and
partner! |
