Ideal horse for a junior or AA in a program to continue to bring along.

She attended a FEH show where she won her 3 year old jump chute class.

Natural changes, flowing movement, and an easy to work with mind.

Friendly, sweet, and sound with no vices. She has a great temperament and is not bothered by much of anything.

Leela has been well handled and socialized her whole life and she truly enjoys people. Loads, bathes, and stands in cross-ties.

Will continue in training until sold and price is subject to increase with continued experience.

Sire: Escher DFEN (Escudo II x Apt to Please xx)

Escher is a 16.2hh Hanoverian stallion who epitomizes the modern type of sport horse. He is a smooth, correct, and very balanced young horse. He is a source of Thoroughbred blood for breeders looking to add that increasingly important element to their breeding programs. In 2018 Escher was the only 3 year old North American stallion licensed by the American Hanoverian Society (AHS). He was very well received at his licensing and rewarded with terrific scores. He received a 9 for “Type and Masculinity.” He also scored a 9 for neck and 8’s for saddle position, frame, foreleg, conformation, and importantly canter, jumping ability, and overall impression.

Dam: Heaven’s Bellaluna

Luna is 16.2 Trakehner mare by the TB Sporthorse Duckhorn and out of a Donnerkeil/Postillion Trakehner mare. Duckhorn goes back to Deputed Testamony which many old-time eventers (Denny Emerson etc.) express quite an affinity for with their boldness, jump, and disposition. Luna has large feet and good bone - her mother is a solid Trakehner type, from before much TB was infused into the registry. Being 50% blood, Luna is a prime event broodmare and she also has the most laid back and relaxed temperament, similar to old-style warmblood horses like her dam.
