Barn name: Oona
Approved: Westfalen (Premium Mare) Breed: Thoroughbred Breeder: Colebrook Farms Sire: Marcavelly (Johannesburg/Majestic Light) Dam: Boozin Blonde (Whiskey Wisdom/Mogambo) DOB: March 27, 2013 Height: 16.1HH Colour: Bright bay with star, snip, LH, & RH. Oona spent four years of her life as a race horse in Ontario before transitioning to a career as a hunter for a couple years. She quickly became a farm favourite when she arrived at our farm in the fall of 2021 with her incredibly sweet and affectionate nature, and excellent manners. She is also very unflappable as there is not much that seems to phase her. We have wanted to add a quality Thoroughbred mare to our herd for awhile to purpose breed for eventing foals, but with Oona's lovely gaits and demeanour she also has potential to produce quite nice dressage, hunter, and jumper mounts for amateur riders. It is a special bonus that she is also very beautiful. We look forward to seeing what she will produce for us. |
