"Ophelia"
2000 Gray Andalusian Mare standing 15.3 hands
Sired by Aliantro out of Catalina (by Bravio)
Competing in Ladies' Pleasure Driving

Ophelia is a stunningly well-bred Andalusian mare, with enough talent and grace to stun an entire audience. An extremely versatile horse, she can show under saddle or in harness with equal amounts of energy and spirit. Her gaits are smooth and flowing, but can easily be controlled and collected with the slightest aid. She is a pleasure to handle as she is an easygoing and loving horse, which makes her one of the favourites around the barn. She has proven herself to be a wonderful mother to her foals, and has thrown some amazing talent. While we wish to keep breeding her, we plan to keep her in competition, as she is such a wonderful driving horse.
