Riva is in foal to the incredibly talented Vitalis, the stallion everyone seemed to want to get their hands on this year, and thanks to Elite Stallions & Twemlows Stud Hall farm, we managed to!
This foal’s makeup boasts Grand Prix talent AND kind, rideable characters running through all lines of its family tree.
The family tree:
Foal’s dam: Riva
Breeding: Revolution x Fidertanz x De Niro
Age: March 2017 (8yo)
height: approx 16.2
Riva was sired by the Grand Prix dressage stallion Revolution, who was the record breaking 2 year old sold at auction in 2015. Since then he has been a 5 year old World Champion, 6 year old Reserve Champion, Grand Prix winner and has sired 17 licensed stallions!
Riva herself is a beautiful and talented mare for both dressage and jumping! She has a confident and curious personality, is ALWAYS keen for a cuddle. To ride; even as a 4 year old she could be tacked up and ridden out in the fields, in winter, on her own, after a week of no work and no lunging! She has a lovely clear and big walk, very good action in the canter with talent to sit and collect in this, and a balanced and expressive trot. She has a huge talent for jumping… however I do not, which is why this was never realised..!
The foal’s sire: Vitalis
A clear breeding favourite in recent years for obvious reasons, has sired over 70 licensed sons and over 100 state premium mares. He was chosen as sire to olympic Champion Dalera’s first foal, and already has the famous offspring: Vayron & Daniel Bachmann Andersen, Vamos Amigos & Cathrine Dufour/Annabella Pidgley, First Step Valentin & Larissa Pauluis. He is widely known for producing kind and rider-friendly horses with BUCKETS of talent. A wonderful mix!
The foal’s Damline:
This line is particularly impressive.
Second dam: Feather (bred by Catherine Haddad-Staller)
Breeding: Fidertanz x De Niro x Figaro
Height: approx 16.0
A horse I have owned for 15 years, since she was 3. She competed internationally at Small Tour, and started at Inter 2… she is the first horse I produced to this level, which speaks to her temperament and trainability. She has masses of talent for Grand Prix. Feather’s breeding of Fidertanz x De Niro is a highly successful GP cross, with many licensed sons and highly competitive horses on both sides of this family. Herself an incredibly confident and smart horse to ride and train, she has a stunning highlight trot tour, and masses of talent for collection here. Her dam, Elfentanz, has produced many top horses too.
Other notable relatives on the dam side:
Pentimento: Prince Thatch x De Niro x Figaro (Elfentanz) is the half brother of Feather, trained and competed to international Grand Prix by Casey Nilsson, further competed by Anna Nolte.
Vianne: Vitalis x Ramiro’s Bube x De Niro x Figaro. A “cousin” of Riva’s who was a World Young horse championship top 10 competitor under Hope Beerling. In 2024 she represented the United States with Kate Shoemaker at the Paris Paralympics where she finished 5th. She briefly competed under Cathrine Dufour before being sold, where she scored over 80% in a 7 year old test!
Romanesque: A licensed stallion by Romanov out of Elfentanz (De Niro x Figaro) who also competed to Grand Prix.
Genuine enquiries are welcome for this genuine sale - the only reason for the sale is that I moved to Australia 18 months ago, and have now got the opportunity to stay and pursue a career here. I bred Riva, have owned her mother for 15 years and know a lot about the family tree. This is a very hard sale. Any and all questions are welcome, I would love to see her go to a “boutique” breeding stud where her incredible temperament and bloodlines can thrive. Currently she can be viewed at Twemlows Stud Hall Farm.
