Korra would be suitable for multiple disciplines. This filly has a ground eating gallop, and truly takes great joy in her own athleticism. She has correct conformation and three quality gaits that will serve her well in either the dressage or hunter ring. Her hock action is especially impressive. However, with her stamina, courage, agility, balance, and strength she is also a candidate for eventing or mid level show jumping. This inquisitive filly is a sponge when it come to learning new things and is very eager to please. She loves attention and she is the first to greet visitors when they come to the farm. She is very bold and brave, usually being found at the head of the herd as she leads them all in a merry chase around the pasture.

Both parents were very athletic and intelligent horses. Her sire, Schwarzenegger, is known for producing great minded horses for both dressage and jumping. He has been on the list of top jumper producers for the Hanoverian breed for 2012-21016! He is also tied for fifth on that list for producing movement. Schwarzenegger currently has three offspring competing at S class dressage and one at S class jumping. Schwarzenegger was born in Verden, Germany in 1997 from the Windeler breeding program. In his stallion performance test in Redefin, he scored an impressive 125,24 points. His integrated breeding value estimation is 122 for Dressage and 114 for jumping. His temperament and character impressed the judges with a score of 9 and 10 respectively. In his offspring he tends to improve the canter with a 120 as well as the the jumping manner and scope with a 128.

Her dam, Icy Poodles, had tonnes of heart over fences. Was a dream to train who would turn herself inside out to please her rider and had almost bottomless stamina. She also has lovely gaits with good hock action, and a strong ground covering stride. She scored a 9 on her walk, 8 for gaits, and 8 for jumping technique at her Canadian Warmblood inspection, and overall she earned a premium score of 8. At the age of 16 years old she tied for the 3rd highest mare inspection score in Canada that year out of 75 mares tested! Poodle has very correct conformation with good bone, straight legs, and powerful hindquarters/loin; all of which she has passed on to Korra. We attribute Poodle's good bone structure, healthy vigor, and stamina to the bit of Morgan blood she carries from her dam's side of her pedigree. She definitely inherited her athleticism from her Quarter Horse sire, Fox de Bar, who was a race horse before retiring to stud. He only stood for 2 years but in that time he sired several offspring competitive in all the English disciplines.
