Refined elegance is how I would describe this girl. She is a Thoroughbred/Oldenburg cross. Circe is 5 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. Click here to see a video clip of her being ridden. 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.
