Noelani has been shown since she was a yearling in Oregon, Washington,
California, Ohio and Michigan. She has won many hearts and beautiful ribbons along the
way. Two of her maternal older sisters have already been Inspected and Classified with
high scores; one achieved Gold, and the other a Silver Rating. Her sire, Aristocrat, TOF
is the first and only Gold Classified and "Proven" stallion in the American
Haflinger Registry.
Noelani was born at our facility, was
imprinted at birth and has had extensive handling and training for such a young mare.
After being shown in halter all over the country, Noelani won "THE BREEDERS AWARD OF
EXCELLENCE" from TOF in 1999. At 2 years old, Noelani accepted being ground
driven and soon graduated to pulling a pleasure cart. She does driven dressage tests,
flies through the cones course, and modified marathon course at our place. She has
competed at many driving shows and has a wall full of ribbons. At three, we started
riding her lightly. Noelani is light on her feet. She floats as she trots and her
hooves barely touch the ground. She is very calm and sweet and loves to do whatever job we
give her, whether driving or being ridden. Currently, Noelani is in dressage
training, and like everything else she has done, Noelani she is learning "the
moves" and performs them with grace and beauty. |
