1412 Lot53 - Green Rocks Faith
December 2014 auction
Black filly 1/10/13 mature 16.1hh
On account of Kay Hoyland
Faith is a beautifully bred, elegant black filly. She is by the imported FEI stallion Fiji R, campaigned by young rider Breanna Tillitski. Fiji R is by Florencio who was the 5yo and 6yo world champion young dressage horse. Florencio’s sire, Florestan, has a number of Olympic offspring to his credit. Faith’s dam, Ribena R, is a sensational mare who explodes into action. She is powerful with great athletic balance, a beautiful neck and exquisite head. Ribena is by the fabulous Grand Prix stallion Regardez Moi, two-time Australian Grand Prix champion and representative at the World Cup final in Las Vegas, USA, in 2009. Regardez Moi this year won the Grand Prix Special and the Grand Prix Freestyle with a score of 73.7% at Sydney CDI at the age of 18. Ribena’s dam, Shakira R, is by Salute, also the sire of Victory Salute, who came 9th at the WEG 2010. Ribena’s full brother Rock Legend (also ours), was 2013 Reserve Champion in the Grade 4 Para Equestrian classes at the State Championships with Tracey Crittenden at 6yo. He won novice champion at club level with his amateur rider/owner this year and according to Heath Ryan, has the potential to perform at Grand Prix. Faith has been purpose-bred for temperament and trainability. She has a deliberate walk, super suspended trot and an up-in-front canter. She leads without fuss, floats and has had regular trimming and worming. Faith is EA registered and would be a great asset to the serious breeder or ambitious rider.
