Amazing must-see all-around Warmblood mare for any rider!

Iris WT's rideability is high; she has the willingness and forgiveness to accommodate riders from Beginner-intermediate to Advanced—videos of various leveled riders upon request.

Her gaits and transitions are smooth, and her motor is powerful for upper-level jumping.... (read more) She would make an excellent eventing/dressage prospect or a relaxed hunter jumper.

Located an hour from New Orleans, Louisiana.

*Please note: The free jumps in the photos Iris is jumping are 4ft and 5ft.

* The last two photographs are of her sire, Something Gained, a winner of several Mini-GP circuit shows! Something Gained is out of the renowned Sabatoage, who was the only stallion to win the International Jumper Futurity twice as a four-year-old and a six-year-old.

Iris WT is a 7 yr old 16-hh with incredible scope and balletic movement. Iris is an impeccably bred Holsteiner mare. Her sire, Something Gained, has won circuit Mini Gran Prix championships and her dam schools St. Prix George level dressage and is a Premium scored mare.

Iris WT is a kind-hearted, quiet, smooth, easy-to-ride mare with endless stamina and an effortless deer-like jump.

She never waivers nor refuses a jump.

Iris could easily win Hunter jumper shows and has the brains, bravery, stamina, and jump talent of her sire to show upper level courses.

Further, her movement is ripe for upper-level/s of dressage. For example, Iris gives an extra flexion flick of her fetlock in an extended trot.

Iris WT was recently in professional eventing/hunter jumper training to be show prepped at Sommerville Stables near Baton Rouge. Her trainer won Madison Square Garden's top English rider. Their stable clientele circuit shows in FL in hunters.

Iris is ready to show as she is-- a natural, truly reflecting her pedigree.

Iris has Xrays of her lower legs and has no issuses! Full body X-rays and PPE may be done with our renowned vet KlienePeter, whom people travel across states to use his expertise.

Her sire, Something Gained, is pictured jumping a blue, 5ft oxer at a mini Gran Prix show in the photos. Iris is the spitting image of her Sire and has inherited his high abilities.

* Write-up on Iris's sire, Something gained:

"Something Gained is a highly athletic, solid Holsteiner type combining the best of the ‘A’ and ‘S’ lines. He has correct gaits and tremendous scope with a technique that only improves as the fences get bigger. He is very sweet with a good temperament and ridability. He easily won the IJF as a four year old and was named overall Champion and Champion Most Grand Prix potential. He has earned many top 5 placings in Grand Prix, Mini Prix and Open jumper classes as well as Championship honors at multiple shows. 

Martin comes from the older S-Line Holsteiners, known for their power, scope, and soundness. He traces to Silvester on both sides of his pedigree. Martin`s sire, Sabotage, sired Rolex 4 star finisher, Le Samurai. Martin also traces to the popular A-Line Holstiners Acord II and Acorado. Acorado was a popular and upcoming stallion in Germany until his untimely death. Acorado’s get are turning out to be very desirable in the pedigrees of hunters, jumpers and as sires/broodmares. Martin is the perfect outcross for the C-Line mare as he is one of the few Holsteiner stallions whose pedigree doesn`t contain much C-Line. "
