If you've ever dreamed about finding a very exquisite and naturally
gaited Paso Fino with a lot of heart that can perform almost
every "thought" of its rider without the need of most cues, then
you'd probably love "Elysia" as much as I do.
About Kofresi's Sire...
Alegria de Blanca/////, pictured below, is legendary! He was
a 14 hand
beautiful mahogany bay stallion that was
imported
into the US in 1968 by George LaHood. Coral was honored with
the highly esteemed "Horse of Horses" title in Columbian where
he was bred/raised. After being imported, his later
accomplishment included earning a Grand National Championship
in Performance. He also produced many National
Champions. The Paso Fino Horse Association honored him
twice as the #1 Top Producing Sire in the Nation and a
"Top 10 Producing Sire" an amazing thirteen times!
His offspring have received National titles in Pleasure,
Performance, Versatility, Driving and Largo Races, as well as
numerous State and Regional titles. Coral LaCE was also
inducted into the Paso Fino Horse Association's Hall of
Fame. I believe his greatest honor is probably the
fact that owners from all over the world are still dedicated
to preserving the Coral LaCE legacy for it's gentle nature,
natural gait, versatility and great beauty.
About Kofresi's Dam...
Kira de Bucanero////, pictured below, is a prized
daughter of a beautiful line bred Truinfo son and Batalla
grandson named Dulce Kaluha. Truinfo was the sire
of 2x Grand National Champion, Frio Viento.
Batalla was one of the legendary son's of the Puerto Rican
foundation sire, Dulce Sueno. Elysia's dam was
also the grand daughter of the legendary stallion, Hilachas.
Not only was Hilachas honored as the PFHA's #1 Top
Producing Sire for 1974, 1975 and 1976, but he remained a
Top 10 Producing Sire from 1974-1984. Hilachas
was best known for producing elegant conformation and
movement, fast smooth gait, beautiful heads and intelligence.
About Kofresi...
Even though
Kofresi was bred from top bloodlines, her great beauty,
intelligence and gentleness have helped make her a treasured
heirloom for our family.
Kofresi a gentle, willing mare that almost anyone
would enjoy riding. Her ability to perceive your
thoughts is amazing. She the most intelligent
horse that I've ever worked with. She's almost
telepathic to ride and rarely needs cues once she's
established a relationship with her rider. This is the
Paso Fino that we put all beginner riders or children on that
want to ride.
Ever since coming to live with
our family, she's been a trusted companion for our children to
ride. She has carried them as a lesson horse, on fun day
events and extensively through the forests and on trails.
Elysia is very gentle, but she also makes an excellent and
exciting companion for an experienced rider, too.
Kofresi has one of the most
accurate gaits that I've ever ridden. She's beautifully
and consistently gaited under any rider and also in any type of terrain...which
is rare, especially in the FL trails with deep sand! Her
strength and stamina help make her a
very capable trail companion to ride. Even though she's
totally content being in any position (lead, front, or middle
it makes no difference) within any size group of trail horses,
she excels as a lead horse. Her confidence and
experience have lead many horses through very difficult
trail situations including passing through lakes and rivers.
She's so gentle that she can be ridden bareback in a halter,
but I believe in Elysia so much that she could probably even
be ridden bareback with no head gear.
Kofresi leads respectfully, ties,
cross-ties, bathes, grooms (sprays included!), trims, stands
quietly for the farrier, loads/trailers like a dream, is easy
to catch, lowers her head to halter, easy to deworm, and is
quiet to tack. She's
currently on a rotation deworming schedule and is kept current
on vaccinations, negative coggins, teeth floating and farrier work.
Kofresi resides with or family in
Florida and Michigan (summers only), but also lived with us at
our ranch in Montana, too. She's a very healthy
sound mare with a ton heart and elegance. She's a
treasure to us as are her two sons, Storm
Dancer and Sundance Kid, by the
legendary largo stallion, Sundancer Mako...
Thank you for your
interest,
