STALLIONS STANDING AT AUTUMN CHARM
Now standing stallion COROMINO owned by Heritage Manor Sport Horses of Westminster, Md.
Coromino is a 17 hand bay Oldenburg Stallion by Corofino ( holsteiner ) / Romino . He has enjoyed a successful jumping carreer and is making the switch to dressage. Corys canter is a dream - big elastic and uphill. Coromino is handsome, a lovely mover and pleasant to be around. In fact - I would say he is a boarder favorite - gladly accepts all treats , loves attention. Pictured at Autumn Charm 6 / 07 below.
" I have been riding Coromino here and there during the breeding season and am excited to start him in full work this fall with the hopes of showing him in dressage in 2008. He is such a captivating horse - I think everyone that has come to the farm to visit him has bought a breeding ! Corys temperment is exceptional - sweet and attentive- and the more you talk to him and fuss over him the more he loves you ! I particularly enjoy his canter - it has a powerful jump to it - such FUN to ride. I like this horse so much - I bred him to my own broodmare. Come and meet him - you will be captivated too !"
