Anika (Annie)

Ikoon (Libero H/Nimmerdor) / Lorbas / Popsaysno xx

born May 23 2006

15.2 HH bay mare

Her sire is Ikoon a KWPN approved international show jumper by the Preferent stallion Libero H (by Landgraf) out of a mare by the legendary Nimmerdor. Her dam is a full sister to a number of proven jumpers and is sired by Lorbas award winning producer of GP dressage horses and jumpers. Her dam's first foal has competed at PSG level dressage and is currently schooling all the GP work. All of her foals to date have inherited her wonderful temperament and have proven to be great amateur mounts.

Annie is no exception to that. She was started under saddle last summer. She is very willing under saddle, with 3 very balanced gaits an absolutely fantastic canter beautiful trot and superb disposition. She was at the Royal this past November. It was her very first show. We did warmblood demonstrations in the "Spirit of the Horse Ring". She handled it like a seasoned show horse. She remained completely calm and happily worked in that small ring with all those distractions. She had most of the winter off and we lightly started her back under saddle and did a similar show, the Can Am Equine Emporium in March. She has an incredible mind, is a very quick learner and is very willing to please. She has the scope, movement and looks to be a top level show horse and the mind to do it under a junior or amateur rider.

We've been showing Annie in the Port Colborne Saddle Club series and she is consistently 1st or 2nd in the green hunter over fences and the judges just absolutely love her in the hunter under saddle and hunter hack classes with a number of 1st placings in those classes as well.
