I just thought I'd let you know that Rosie is doing great and I'm very happy with her.

You did a great job raising her and you represented her very accurately to me.

The list goes on and on...This is a very special colt with great conformation, super movement and an awesome temperament.

***"Hi Brenda, Deringer settled in great and has been a fantastic addition to the barn! I
wanted to let you know how much fun we are having with him. My trainer came
out today to work with him a little on the ground and Deringer was amazing!
He was lunging so well that we decided to try and put a surcingle on him and
it didn't even phase him. Then, we decided to try and put a bridle on him
and he was great for that too. He is like a puppy! My trainer said that he
is the easiest and most talented two year old she has ever started!"
***Hi Brenda,
I wanted to give you another update on Deringer. He has settled in really well to our barn and is extremely well behaved and trainable. I think he’s probably the smartest horse I have ever worked with!

Her full sister was Virginia State Hunter Champion and she has very comfortable gaits and is naturally forward moving. Prince is a modern type with an extravagant uphill trot, very good ground covering walk and a super fluid canter.

2003 Oldenburg gelding by the fabulous stallion Routinier/Rhodiamant/Rubinstein, out of our very nice mare Romantic Elegance/Son of a Roman XX. Romeo is a wonderful Dressage or Hunter prospect.

The dam's full sister won the Virginia State Hunter Championship and the sire scored a 10 for Willingness to Work and an incredible 9 for Jumping Under Saddle as well as 9's for Conformation, Trot, Walk and Canter. I believe this talented young horse would excell in either discipline and is suited for the amateur or the professional. He currently stands 16 hands and should mature to 16.2 to 16.3 hands. Romeo is showing great aptitude as he begins his under saddle training. I give him a 10 for his willingness to work everyday and his eagerness to learn.
