NEW AT AUTUMN CHARM FOR 2010 IS THE EXCITING STALLION ROUTINIER ( Rhodiamant / Inschallah ) . Roo is a 15 yr old dark dapple bay with chrome . He is a very proud horse and has an exceptional temperment. He is collected in his stall by his owner by herself , no mare needed. That is exceptional. Roo is a collecting machine - he passages to his paddock every day. Students of mine say that Roo is the Sean Connery and Coromino is the Brad Pitt of the barn. Roo is owned by Heritage Manor Sport Horses of Westminster , Md. If you are looking to produce an uphill foal with powerful hind leg , suspension, shorter body and refinement - Roo is your boy. He also passes on his workaholic personality and his pride. $1500 stud fee. Many discounts offered. Come see him.
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.
" Coromino 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 !"
