| Wilona WF | Wilona WF (Waldaire x As You Wish WF by Adamant/Volturno) Lona is a true black daughter of Waldaire out of current Eventing mare As You Wish WF, who has recently moved up to Training Level in her first year of competition. Lona has inherited many of the qualities of both sire and dam – her even temper, steady rhythm and good conformation. She is a very friendly and inquisitive youngster who would always like to be the first one to be caught and fussed over. Lona began her undersaddle training with high praise from all parties. Like her sire and dam, she has a super sense of rhythm and engagement of the hind quarters. Updates on her progress, as well as photographs & video will follow shortly. We expect Lona to mature to about 16.2 hands and to be a similar body type to her dam and it goes without say that there are high expectations regarding her jumping talent. Her use and freedom of her shoulders deserve special mention as it is not every day that a youngster shows such promise and talent so quickly. She is the eptitome of FANCY! At her foal inspection, Wilona received a First Premium. Her dam As You Wish WF is enjoying great success out in the eventing world and consistently finishes with only her dressage score as she moves up the levels. As You Wish has also taken to foxhunting like a duck to water! Her maternal granddam Volanté also thrived in the eventing realm of competition, diligently packing both Emily & Ellie around at the Preliminary level with good results. Emily also competed her through PSG in dressage. Adamant was the family go-to mount for foxhunting with a very successful dressage career through Intermediare I much like his sire, the imported Hanoverian Abundance. During his breeding career Adamant was a consistent producer of upper level eventers. This granddaughter should follow in her ancestors hoof prints with little difficulty. Wilona has earned high praise from our experienced young horse starter for her grounded nature and pleasant movement. She is a very sensible young horse with a calm outlook on the world around her. Wilona enjoys going cross country and is a pleasure to work with on a daily basis with no vices. Wilona participated in our February jumping clinic with Ryan Wood. She continues to impress us with her steady nature, exceptionally good movement and willingness to work. Wilona is currently (1/12) working on her lateral exercises (shoulder in, haunches in, turn on the forehand, turn on the haunches, leg yield and half pass) as well as polishing her single flying changes. She is a lovely riding partner for the smaller, petite rider with her frame, balance and way of going! Video Links
