Oldenburg X TB Mare for Sale Or Lease

Raya is a homebred 2003 Oldenburg x TB (by Routinier). She's 1st/2nd level dressage. Easy lateral work; think walk pirouettes, and she does it. She is a nice ride, light on the aids, and tries hard. With her owner's work and grad school, she has spent more time as a pet than as a dressage horse -- hence her current training level. She has potential to go much further. She is wonderful despite inconsistent riding -- hop on for a quick bareback after a couple weeks off or go for a run in hand (yes, like a dog). If she is confused or frustrated, she will jig at the walk or quicken the tempo at the trot but still tries to please and is safe. She is generally very healthy. Right now, she is on grass pasture 24/7, no grain / supplements. She is very polite, adores people, and loves to be groomed. Everyone always comments on how sweet Raya is. Owner will be out of the country for school. Long term lease would also be considered with the right person.
