2006 Hanoverian X mare As di Villagana -
Pretty Calypso Bay, 16.3 hands
Arya is tall and elegant
with loads of presence to get you noticed in the show
ring. A refined type mare with a beautiful face, she
is extremely easy and pleasant to handle and loves
attention. This coming 6 year old mare has show
experience in both the hunter and jumper rings, including
several months showing in Ocala, FL as a 4 year old.
Though she is just beginning her dressage career, she is
proving to be very trainable, easy, and willing.
Arya is very personable, sweet and not at all
mareish. She is an extremely talented and athletic
sporthorse prospect who could excel in any discipline.
