Keva is a 6-year-old registered Friesian Sporthorse mare offering the rare combination of a genuine temperament, real training mileage, and continued upward potential. She has been in a professional program for the past 3.5 years as a personal horse — not a rescue, not a resale project — and it shows in every aspect of how she presents. She is the kind of mare who makes her people smile. Intelligent, willing, and deeply people-oriented, she is as pleasant to handle on the ground as she is under saddle. She ties, bathes, clips, loads, and hauls without drama. Barefoot, easy keeper, and free of behavioral vices. Under Saddle & In Harness Keva has been schooled through First Level dressage and jumps courses comfortably in the 2'3"–2'6" range. She spent 1.5 years in an active lesson program, carrying junior riders in both flatwork and over-fence work, competing in dressage and hunter/jumper divisions, and gaining valuable mileage in busy, multi-horse environments including summer camps. She has trail experience and is not spooky, but her heart is clearly in the arena. Give her a jumping course and a rider who means business, and she steps up — focused, forward, and genuinely engaged in the work. She is also broke to drive. A Note on Her Current Conditioning Keva has been in a dedicated body conditioning program for the past three months with emphasis on topline development, core engagement, shoulder stability, and hind-end strength. She is currently in the process of building stamina in her right hind quadricep, which may present as mild fatigue on the left lead canter during harder work. Her veterinarian has evaluated her and confirmed no pain and no pathology — this is simply a strength-building phase, and she is progressing steadily with correct, consistent work. A recent bodywork evaluation noted marked improvement in relaxation, topline, core engagement, and hind-end muscling. Her Ideal Home Keva will shine with a rider who has a light, educated hand and a balanced, independent seat — someone who values the process of correct development and will continue building her strength thoughtfully. She is responsive and sensitive in the best sense of the word; she rewards soft, correct riding beautifully. She is well suited for an adult amateur, capable junior, or professional seeking an athletic, willing mare with a genuine work ethic and a clear love of jumping. A saddle fitting by a qualified saddler is strongly recommended to support her continued development. Why She's Available Keva is not being sold due to any limitation or concern. She is being offered because she deserves a program built around what she loves most — structured arena work and jumping. She has been well-cared for, correctly trained, and genuinely cherished. The right home will be a continuation of that. Price is expected to increase as her conditioning advances and competitive mileage grows. Pre-purchase exams are welcomed and encouraged. Serious inquiries only.
