Cristiano--The First

Cristiano
     

"Cris" is half Andalusian by Indiano XVIII out of the Holsteiner/TB mare, Christiana (Conquistador).  Emily and Cris met in 2000 when he was a long yearling and she was just 14.  While he started out awkward and uncoordinated, Cris would always keep trying to please.  His patient temperament has proved to be invaluable as it has allowed him to learn and grow into a successful FEI mount with Emily as his only rider.

Syrano

Syrano
   
 
Syrano is a 9 year old Dutch Warmblood by Juventus, out of Zayada (Formateur). 
Syrano came to Emily from family ties.  Emily had ridden his dam and several half siblings--eventually she came across Syrano and decided he was the one!  Syrano had a very successful first show season at training and first level, competing at the CDS Junior Championships, the CDS Annual Show, and the USDF Region 7 Championship.  He was ranked 13th USDF 1st Level Horse of the Year.  Syrano is now schooling PSG and is ready for his career as an FEI horse!
