Flowervale Freelady
Freelady's sire Freestyle (Florestan) is a beautiful stallion with an athletic body. Like his sire Florestan; he was the overall winner of his 100 Day Performance Test. Now residing in the USA, Freestyle was described by the Olympic rider Gunter Seidel as being "the best six-year-old Dressage horse in the USA." His offspring are very much in demand for dressage. Freestyle's dam Paloma, and her four sisters were awarded the 'best family of Hessen' for four consecutive years, her grandmother Geisha is the full sister to the world famous Romadour II, the sire of the Gold medal winning Rembrandt. Freestyle's sire Florestan, has been available through AI for only a relatively short number of years. Already to his credit is the six-year-old World Dressage Champion 'French Kiss' and 'Florencio' the five and six-year-old World Dressage Champion. Florestan also produces top sport horses and leaves progeny that are easy to handle and easy to ride.
Since her arrival in New Zealand, 'Lady' has been shown just a few times. Her first outing saw her take the title of South Island Champion Junior Warmblood, Supreme South Island Exhibit and NZWB Assoc Premier Filly/Mare, next outing was Canterbury A&P Show where she was the Champion Led Warmblood and then Supreme Warmblood at the Canterbury Horse and Pony Breeders Show. At this stage, our intention is to do a yearly embryo transplant with her, whilst not interfering with her dressage schooling. Our first choice of stallion will still be Sandreo (Sandro Hit x Flemmingh) - the stallion that she was in foal to and whose foal she sadly lost.
