*STUNNING* Professionally Trained All-Around QH FOR SALE

UPDATE!
Randi & Fancy entered their first show this past weekend together and came home with two blues and a division championship! Here are some pics....and new video clips can be found at the bottom of this post...enjoy!





After a good amount of thought and consideration, we've decided to offer Fancy for sale. We've decided to focus on our local Pony of America (POA) club, which is very kid-centric and family friendly...as such, we will be purchasing 1-2 POAs for the punks over the next year and focusing on them solely...that means Fancy is not going to be getting the time and attention she deserves...

"Fancy" was purchased as a long yearling with some basic handling. Since her arrival, she has proven to be a real sweetheart of a mare, and a pure joy to work with. I completed all her initial training and ground work in 2008 before sending her to Multiple World Champion Reining Trainer Bob Laporta in 2009. She spent a year there under his tutelage before coming home a more mature and finished performance horse (over 10k in training expenses!). Her training progress was well documented on video and is available on youtube for viewing (in addition to the links provided below). Just search for my user id: leahroehl


Although reining is Fancy's forte', I spent the year following her training working on western pleasure, trail, showmanship, and hunter pleasure. I showed her to several championships in all of these classes at her very first show!

As if that didn't make her well rounded enough, I have made several trip to Wingreen to play on their cross country course. She has willingly jumped or conquered everything I've pointed her at....water, logs, ditches, up hills and over rails, you name it! She has the mind, disposition and movement to be one of the special few you can pull out of her stall and do whatever you want to do that day.


Oh! Did I mention the miles I've put on her at team pennings and ponying my daughter down the Lake Anna trails? You'd be hard pressed to find another large pony/small QH with this type of mileage, training, and experience.


This past year Fancy has been leased to a local family for 4-H and Hunter Shows (competing int he LARGE PONY division). She's carried 2 young girls through hunter pleasure and equitation classes with considerable success....they have also hauled her to 4-H horse camp! She is headed to the 4-H State Horse Show and one last Whitestone Farm show this month before she comes back home for the winter....these added miles have been a great validation of her ability to adapt to any level rider and any discipline...


Need I even mention how gorgeous this mare is? She'll get you noticed no matter where you go or what you are doing....her sorrel coat shines like a copper penny and her long flaxen forelock, mane, and tail qualify her for every little girls DREAM PONY!


Considering the similarities between reining and dressage, I would venture to say she could easily transition into that arena as well as eventing with the right rider willing to put a little time into her...


Here are some pics of Fancy over the past few years.....I've also included the links to a couple video clips as well....new video will be taken before winter. Please call or email for an appointment to meet this exceptional horse!
