2007 MS Hanoverian Mare

Hanoverian Mare - Calysta

 

Calysta MWF is a beautiful, talented chestnut mare by Contucci o/o MS Karrena/ES Kalyso. She was born in 2007, and she is an elegant mover and loves to jump. She currently stands at 15.3 hands and may grow a bit more, but don't anticipate her being taller than 16 hands. She has nice, substantial bone, but does not move or jump 'heavy' at all.

Her grandsire, Kalypso, was a top earning Grand Prix jumping stallion, who really passed on to his foals, the incredible jumping scope and ability. Calysta MWF, aka Heidi, has definitely received the jumping ability and is a very balanced, careful jumper. She has 3 beautiful gaits that are very big and ground-covering, yet elegant.
Heidi was started under saddle in March, 2010 as a 3-year old. After being started, she continued working on flat work with a very confident rider and was even shown 2 times as a 3-year old. In the Fall, 2010, she was put 'out to pasture' for approximately 8 months to finish growing. In June, 2011, she was put back to work under the tutelage of the same confident rider, where they started jumping as well as flat work exercises. She successfully competed in jumper divisions as well as a BNH Horse Trial in 2011. She has automatic lead changes with unbelievable balance, scope and technique.

Heidi does not have any vices, is sound (and solid!), trailers well, is WONDERFUL at shows and settles in nicely at shows. She is easy to work around, stands nicely for farrier (great feet, too!!) and vet. She will show heat signs, but is no different under saddle when in heat. She needs a confident rider, at least initially, but with consistency and mileage, she will make just about any rider a great show partner.
