Real Horse is

Shanleigh is a very talented mare who would make an amazing Eventing and Dressage competitor. Her sire is one of my Warmblood eventers, a Swedish stallion who competes at Advanced Eventing and Prix St. Georges Dressage. Shanleigh's dam is a Irish Draught broodmare with a fantastic pedigree and excellent conformation. Craiglathie Andraste was a Champion at the Broodmare Nationals last year and was sired by the infamous Craiglathie Tiarnach, who was voted HF's Favorite Sire two years ago.

DT Shanleigh is every bit the dashing young stallion that his father, DT Challenger, so well portrayed. Although training has just begun on this handsome young stud, careful speculation as to how he goes about his daily business at Willow Brook has given us an inside look at what we have in store for us in the near future. Not at all reluctant to begin his under-saddle exercises, many of our coaches look forward to the sessions with DT Shanleigh. The cross between Irish Draught and Spanish Warmblood was wonderful, as both traits of both breeds are easily recognizable.
