Bonita RPH is an amateur friendly mare who has shown in the 1.00m and 1.10m division at venues such as RMSJ, Thunderbird and Amberlea Meadows. Due to an injury her riding career has ended but she is in foal to the notable stallion KVF Jethro Tull to produce a scopey amateur friendly mount. Bonita is a typey warm- blood that has lovely technique over fences and hack winning movement.
Jethro Tull is a long legged, gorgeous stallion who is very modern in both type and frame. As a 6-year-old in 2020 he competed to 1.30m with very limited show- ing due to the pandemic. He has excellent jumping technique with an especially impressive hind-end and world class scope that we haven’t even started to test. We are very excited for the future with this incredible horse and will continue to take our time developing him so that he will have many years at the top of the sport. He has a great temperament and is very laid back at home but has proven to have plenty of blood in the ring. He has an absolutely fantastic canter with a lot of carrying power, his trot is very flat kneed and long and low.
Sire: Barricello was imported in 2006 to Rosenol Performace Horses as a breeding and riding stallion. He competed up to the 1.20 m with his amateur owner and produced several offspring. His sire Balou du Roulet, an Oldenburg silver medalist of 2005, is one of the best German horses of his age group. Equipped with maximum elasticity in his gaits, he completed an excellent Stallion Performance Test awarded with the top marks of 9.5 and 10.0 for jumping by the ‘foreign’ judges. He has continued his sporting career in supreme style, winning several classes judged on style and ability up to “M level”. He won the final quali- fication at the German Young Horse Championships with the top score of 9.2 and in the final was one of the four best approved stallions in Germany. He has been one of the most successful jumping stallions on the international stage (individual gold medalist at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, three-times World Cup Champion in a row, winner of many Grand Prix’s).
Dam: Bonita’s dam, is a Canadian bred thoroughbred, named Talkin Express. She competed up to 1.40 m under a professional rider after a successful racing career in Canada.
