SHOW NAME: Diamante Ragazza
BARN NAME: Razzy
AGE: 12 years
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Flaxen Chestnut
BREED: Irish Draught Sports Horse (Irish Draught cross TB)
HEIGHT: 17 hh
PERSONALITY: Razzy is a sweet and friendly mare who loves to please people and likes nothing more than putting a smile on someones face. She has endless patience and is easily described as a gentle giant.
HISTORY: Razzy used to be owned by the woman who coached Rowan to Vaulting at the World Championship. She bred her originally to be used as a Vaulting horse, and Rowan learnt to vault on her, and competed with her at the Championships. When Rowan came to England she couldn't bear to leave Razzy behind, so she brought her for a small sum on the condition she would never sell her. Last year she had a foal who is now a yearling.
DISCIPLINE: Vaulting and English Pleasure

SHOW NAME:La Luna Splende Stasera
BARN NAME: Sera
AGE: 7 years
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Dapple Gray
BREED: Irish Draught Sports Horse
HEIGHT: 16.2hh
PERSONALITY: Sera is a little bit more temperamental than Razzy, and not quite as quick to learn. If you try to rush things with her then she gets stressed out. But as long as you introduce new things to her slowly and don't expect too much, she will reward you with her friendliness and the fact that once she learns something, she never forgets it. Sera doesn't spook easily though, which is a very good thing to look for in a Vaulting horse.
HISTORY: Rowan brought Sera as a yearling as company for Razzy and as a Vaulting prospect. Rowan has trained her ever since, producing her slowly and carefully so that she ends up with a horse who has the foundations of it's training cemented in well. Sera is well trained as a pleasure ride, and is is now learning the reliability needed for a Vaulting horse.

SHOW NAME:Amante Di Diamanti
BARN NAME: Dia
AGE: Yearling
GENDER: Filly
COLOR: Chestnut
BREED: Irish Draught Sports Horse (IDSH cross Dutch Warmblood)
HEIGHT: To make 16.2 - 17.1hh
PERSONALITY: Dia is a cheeky little foal with a big personality. She doesn't seem to have inherited her mother's calmness or level-head, and often spooks at nothing. Dia is a funny character, and will do anything to get attention. Upturning buckets and standing her forelegs on them is her latest trick, and letting herself out of her stall is a timeless classic she won't let go of - no matter how many clips and bolts you put on the door. So far, she doesn't seem to be showing a good personality for a Vaulting horse, but all her behavior so far could just be typical foal antics and she may grow out of it.
HISTORY: Dia was bred by Rowan from her mare Razzy. Her sire is a Dutch Warmblood who has sired many IDSH's with a good talent for jumping. So far Rowan has been working with her on manners and halter training.
DISCIPLINE: Will probably be trained in Vaulting and English Pleasure

SHOW NAME: Incaricato Di Diavoli
BARN NAME: Cari
AGE: 9 years
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Black
BREED: Arabian
HEIGHT: 15hh
PERSONALITY: Cari is your stereotypical Arab. She's flighty, fidgety, hot-headed and stubborn. She doesn't make for a novice ride, but she has got loads of stamina. If you can persuade her to work with you, rather than against you, it will be amazing.
HISTORY: Rowan brought Cari along with Lumi when the pair were three year olds. Rowan had been in England for about a year and was starting to do some Endurance riding as an alternative to Ride n Tie. Arabs were the breed she had used for that, so she located the half-siblings and brought them to use. Rowan trained the pair herself in Endurance and in Ride n Tie basics. Now she is teaching Ride n Tie, they will both be used for that.
DISCIPLINE: Ride n Tie/Endurance

SHOW NAME: Angelo Illuminato
BARN NAME: Lumi
AGE: 9 years
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: White-Gray
BREED: Arabian
HEIGHT: 15hh
PERSONALITY: Lumi is Cari's opposite. She is sweet, kind and loving. She's very affectionate and often tries to give you a hug or groom you when you make a fuss of her. To ride she is calm and sensible, yet forward going and active. Lumi balances herself perfectly on the line between being exceptionally well-behaved, and being interesting to ride, able to think for herself.
HISTORY: Rowan brought Lumi along with Cari when the pair were three year olds. Rowan had been in England for about a year and was starting to do some Endurance riding as an alternative to Ride n Tie.
