Born 4/18/09, Brava is 16.2 hands and has breathtaking movement. AHHA judged her a Premium foal with 8 for type and 8 for movement. At her first show, Sorensen DSHB in June, she scored 82.100 to win Fillies of '09, and she was 3rd in the Filly Championship. At her second show, Waterloo DSHB, Sept 2, she won Fillies of '09 and Reserve Champion Filly. As a 2 yo, she won at Silverwood DSHB, scoring 8 on gaits and with the highest score of the entire show, 79.2%. Also in 2011, she placed at DAD and was 14th in USDF DSHB HOY standings.

Sire: R Cor Ray was a Premium ISR/Oldenburg colt and recommended as a stallion prospect. He has wonderful bloodlines, type, and movement. Although he was injured as a yearling and has a slight irregularity, you can still see his jumping and movement ability. His sire Raymeister was the highest scoring stallion at the 2002 Stallion Performance Test, a three time winner at DAD, consistently scoring 9 gaits, 2005 USDF Leading Dressage Holsteiner with an average score of 78+%, 2006 USDF Horse of the Year, and sire of approved ISR/Oldenburg stallion Rashka, who has the highest score in the history of all US stallion testing, 164.86. R Cor Ray's dam Condina is by the legendary Cor de la Bryere and is a full sibling to the approved Holsteiner stallion, Condino. She has produced an I.J.F. winner, all premium foals, and an approved stallion, Creighton.

Dam: Paloma is an International Grand Prix Jumper and imported Westfalen mare who has won over $118,000 in her career. She was Gold Medal Winner of the mareshow (mare approvals) in Germany at 3 yrs. old, and was shown as a Grand Prix Jumper all over Europe, where one of her most successful partnerships was with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum. After coming to the USA in late 1999, her riders included Patty Stovel, Laura Kraut, and Vince Ansley. Paloma was one of the US wild card entries in the 2002 Nations Cup held in Donaueschinggen, Germany. After winning the mare show at 3, every event ever entered, every class ever ridden in, both in the USA and Europe, she never placed lower than 13th out of huge classes. She is still held in high regard and is used as a major selling point at the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V.ir Breed auctions. Her pedigree includes the wonderful jumper lines of her sire, Pit I by the legendary Pilot. Pit I is a premier sire of show jumpers including Paloma, Perina (Meredith Michaels), and Picadilly (Debbie Winkler). Paloma's dam is by Ramiroff, a Ramiro son.
