Dam Barakee Olivia (SOD Keston Royal Occasion)

*Archie has been sold to Bryony Giusti of New Gisborne*

Bryony plans to show him in hand this season and in the future campaign him under saddle in both the show and pony dressage arena's.

Should mature around 13.2hh, lovely markings. Very pretty with ground covering movement. A fantastic personality with real look at me presence, he reminds me of his half sister S Suspicious Love at the same age (she recently placed top 10 Ridden Newcomer LPOY Barastoc 2008 and won her Riding Pony Newcomer 12.13.2hh and the Melbourne Summer Royal March 2008)and she was Supreme Riding Pony Youngstock exhibit at the Vic RP Pageant as a yearling. He is well handled and ready to take on the world. He is registered Riding Pony will be eligible Part Welsh, Arabian Riding Pony and possibly Riding Pony under the Australian Pony Stud book. His half brother S Puzzle is already a successfully saddle pony placing top 8 Hygain Masters Intermediate at his second show. All his siblings have very manageable intelligent natures. "Archie' will be a saddle pony of the highest caliber. He will also excel as a dressage pony prospect as he has the movement in the rear end as well as the front.
