Acadia is a gorgeous 2021 Appendix AQHA mare sired by My Decklaration, a Congress Champion & ROM earner in hunter under saddle.... (read more) Acadia is a granddaughter of Duplicated Deck whose offspring have earned over 4,000 AQHA ROMs and 29 Superior Performance awards. Acadia also carries the bloodlines of The Prima Diva who has produced point earners in several disciplines including hunter under saddle, showmanship, equitation, and horsemanship. Other notable bloodlines include Mr. Impressive, sire of 23 Open World Champions and 28 Reserve World Champions. On her dam’s side, Acadia is a granddaughter of “Invitation Only”, NBSA Hall of Fame stallion and AQHA All Time Leading Sire of Point Earners. Acadia’s maternal grandsire is Green With Invy, an AQHA Open Champion, earning awards in multiple disciplines who has sired superiors in showmanship, trail, hunter under saddle, western pleasure, and more. Acadia boasts incredible bloodlines from both sides and is sure to have a promising future in a multitude of disciplines. This regal and intelligent 2 year-old is a part of our Equine Youngstock Training and Marketing course. By sale time she will have lunged at the walk, trot, and canter with tack. She also bathes, ties, sprays and loads onto a stock type trailer. Our program focuses on groundwork so she has not yet carried a rider but is ready to start her career under saddle. She has mastered many obstacles such as tarps and raised platforms and been desensitized to a vast array of novel objects such as tarps, clippers, and pool noodles. The following paperwork will be provided in her sale portfolio: AQHA registration papers, health record with vaccine, deworming and farrier records since birth, a letter from our vets detailing any significant prior injuries, current Coggins, and a health certificate if traveling out of state lines.
