PIANOLA R

Further Information

Pianola R is a very unusual presentation and represents a product from a rarely seen hidden herd of mares. These youngsters are eventers and are produced by Heath, for Heath, and until recently have had little or no commercial worth. Promise R is an amazing mix of Olympic dressage bloodlines in Silvano N who competed in the Grand Prix dressage at the Sydney 2000 Olympics for Holland and Flemmingh who is the sire of Lingh with Edward Gal and Krack C with Anky van Grunsven. Both Silvano and Flemmingh however are pure jumping bred and so although Promise R (that's Pianola R's father) at first glance is a dressage stallion he does jump like a stag with great technique, agility and watchfulness. Song R (Pianola R's mother) is by Sanction who also sired Flame, who with Heath in the saddle won most of the major three-day events in Australia including Adelaide 4-star. Pianola R has an older full-sister called Peaches R who has been kept on by Heath with a view to competing at 4-star level eventing. Pianola R is particularly hairy in the photo but will grow into a beautiful type. She does have great movement, is especially quiet and we feel without a doubt will jump like a stag. Funnily enough Heath's private little broodmare herd has started to become valuable and the purpose-bred eventer is the way of the future.
