A good-looking filly with movement to boot, “Hemi” has a sweet personality. In the summer of 2009, she started ground driving in harness and proved herself to be a willing student. She’ll be started under saddle in spring of 2010. Hemi will be a versatile equine family member for the person interested in a variety of activities.
Her sire, Avanti, is an elegant National Grand Champion Stallion, Silver-rated with huge, suspended movement (scored '9' in Overall Movement on his stallion inspection). He has more than one dressage championship under his belt and truly enjoys competing and capturing the spotlight. Just after starting his jumping career he won every combined training competition in which he was entered. He was selected by Horse Illustrated magazine as their centerfold representation of the Haflinger in their March, 2008 issue. Though a high-powered performer and sire, Avanti is a lovable teddy bear at heart.
Hemi’s dam, Heloise, is clearly a product of her select Austrian breeding. Her sire is an Austrian Winterstein son, Walzertakt who is 58” tall and was on loan in N. America for a short time, and is now standing at the Fohlenhof in Austria. Heloise’s dam is a 57 1/2” tall Austrian import whose dam, Herzogin, scored Gold on her inspection in Austria. |
