On account of Hazel Shannon
OPH Ricochet Lights is a warmblood/TB cross specifically bred for eventing by Ashlie Oliver who researched and brought together some of the best eventing genetics in the world. OPH Ricochet Lights has been an absolute pleasure to be involved with since I (Hazel Shannon) bought him as an unbroken youngster. From day one he has been very quiet and very trainable. OPH Ricochet Lights has taken his training on board almost magically and has wonderful aptitude. He naturally accepts the bit, goes in a rhythmical, soft and consistent way, is always polite and very simple to ride. As his breeding suggests, OPH Ricochet Lights also shows talent over a fence. OPH Ricochet Lights is sharp in front bringing the knees up and bascules classically. He has now competed at dressage, showjumping and one-day events. He produces a very accurate and steady dressage test winning with scores up to 72% at preliminary level. OPH Ricochet Lights also jumps around 80cm courses and is confident over cross-country fences such as water, apexes, banks, bounces, arrowheads and related lines. OPH Ricochet Lights carries the TB lines of Grosvenor, Brilliant Invader and Souvenir, all arguably the most influential thoroughbred sires of showjumpers and eventers in Australia. Grosvenor, Brilliant Invader and Souvenir have all produced Olympic horses including gold medallists. OPH Ricochet Lights' grandsire is the great Regardez Moi, who has progeny competing in both Grand Prix dressage and 3* eventing. OPH Ricochet Lights can be ridden by a child, teenager, adult or professional and is without a doubt is going to make somebody very, very happy. OPH Ricochet Lights has been seen to windsuck on occasion.
