https://sporthorse-data.com/pedigree/rapunzellina

This tall, very feminine yet incredibly athletically built palomino filly was bred as intended as a potentially formidable potential eventer and she is looking the part so far...although it is obviously early days!!

She has beautiful long straight legs, a powerful and compact body and a commanding presence that is graceful and proud. A very 'chatty' filly, this one knows she is something special and wants the world to know it! She is incredibly sociable, loves to please and thoroughly enjoys attention from any and all admirers!

As with all of our youngstock, she has been bred for temperament, talent and a pedigree of great promise. This yearling is a joy to work with, she is bold, highly intelligent and has a wonderful attitude and capacity to learn.

This filly is something very special and it would be a joy to see her go to someone who not only appreciates her massive athletic potential and trainability but who would also enjoy showing her this season. She is correct, stunningly beautiful and has such charisma that it would be a shame not to!

She is an angel to lead, catch, trim, worm. Rapunzel is vice free and has beautiful manners in and out of the stable.

A little about her breeding

Zievident is a KWPN registered mare with a consistent BSJA track record with double clears in Discovery and who demonstrated effortless scope and style over her jumps. Easily schooled over 1.30 at home, she arrived here having found herself in the wrong home and as luck would have it found her way to me!

She is by the KWPN Keur awarded stallion Karandasj (Fedor/Darco). A stallion renowned for his outstanding temperament and rideability, he is a top WBFSH ranked sire of both eventers and show jumpers.

Karandasj started his career becoming Champion of the Performance tests with top marks for jumping and 8's and over in all additional scores. He jumped at international level by six, winning and placing on the Grand Prix circuit. His sire, Fedor jumped and won internationally, siring numerous international showjumping progeny. His famous sire Darco needs little introduction other than he is a legend of modern showjumping breeding!

The dam or Karandasj was by another showjumping international, the great Irco Polo.

Zievident's dam Lievident (Hofnar/Amor/Nimmerdor) was an international Grand Prix dressage mare with an interesting pedigree that is an amalgamation of both elite showjumping and dressage performance bloodlines. By the KWPN stallion Hofnar, a horse renowned for his breathtaking movement. With outstanding thoroughbred sire lines his dam Dakina (Keur Preferent) was by the dual purpose Amor and her dam sire Nimmerdor, Preferent stallion and international showjumper considered by many to be the sire of the century with over 40 Approved stallion progeny globally.
