SUPER GORGEOUS!!! Everyone always wants to know WHO this young mare is! She definitely received the "GORGEOUS" stamp from her incredible sire, Maestoso II Shama II. India has outstanding presence, confidence, and movement with lots of suspension and super natural cadence. 82% Evaluation Score. Turning 3 this summer. In May we brought her into the training barn to begin light longeing. She will be ready to start under saddle this year. She is very laid back, incredibly intelligent and willing. She is 14.3h now and she is not done - she will likely grow a few more inches.

SOLD - Congratulations to Alison Moss!
