    Why Colina Rates This Horse:

    "Pia has fabulous looks and the signature warm blood movement meaning she always scores highly in the dressage phase. She is a fantastic competitor and comes into her own when her adrenalin is running. Pia is consistent in all three phases and the queen of the yard. She is now starting to feel really established at Intermediate and am hoping for some top results with her this season.”

    Why Colina Rates this Horse:

    "Brook is the 'dream machine', she literally has it all; the looks, the spirit, the scope and the gallop. Her breeding, Connemara X Thoroughbred is one of my absolute favourites as I feel these horses have the temperament and intelligence of a ‘pony’ and the speed and the agility of a race horse. When Brooke is on form I feel that she is unbeatable!"

    "Albert is like a ferrari; quick, nimble and ultra talented. The judges love him on the flat as he is so correct and has such presence in the arena. I am really looking forward to forming a partnership with him and hope that the 2012 eventing season brings some exciting results."

    Why Colina Rates this Horse:

    “Ernie has an amazing (if not slightly cheeky) character; he loves his work and is extremely bold for a green horse. I love his conformation and think that he is built to event. He is a very exciting prospect for next season.”

    Why Colina Rates this Horse:

    “Comet is a great all rounder- he has a lot of presence and the dressage judges love him. For a big horse (over 17h) he has so far proved to be athletic and scopey and has consistently been placed in the top ten throughout the 2011 season. He is getting ready to make the jump up to Intermediate in 2012.”

    Why Colina Rates This Horse:

    "Sherman is a real trier in every respect. He has spent the Winter hunting which I think has done him a world of good; he has come back to the yard a far stronger and mature animal. On the flat he has the most amazing rhythm in trot and canter and last season scored really well in the dressage phase. Sherman is starting to get really established at BE100 level and was hardly out of the top ten placings in 2011-lets hope that this season is going to be just as successful."

     

    "Sherman is a real trier in every respect. He has the most amazing rhythm in trot and canter and has only been out of the 20's once this season-the judges love him. He is very bold XC and feels more and more confident with every outing and is really learning to gallop. He was only broken last year so has come on so much in one season and is now becoming very consistent in all three phases. I could not be more impressed with him."

    Why Colina Rates This Horse:

    "Rosie is a quality pony who is sensible, straightforward and intelligent young lady; that said she definitely has a strong personality. She has three correct paces and a lovely pop and has yet to be phased by anything that she has been pointed at. She may not be Badminton bound due to only standing at 14’1h but it has now been pointed out to me on more than one occasion that she is the perfect size for me! I hope that this season she provides lots of joy to her owners."

    Why Colina Rates this Horse:

    “Bob is our first ever foal and we think he is absolutely fantastic; unfortunately so does he! He is very naughty and strong willed but he loves people and would like to play with everyone (sadly he can be a little rough so does not have many play mates). I can’t wait to see as to what sort of beast he turns into but am secretly hoping he is going to be a super star.”

    Why Colina Rates this Horse:

    “Nictim was the horse who started my eventing obsession. He is one of the most amazing and talented horses that I have ever had the pleasure to ride. He is a XC machine and put up with all my mistakes when I was learning- I wish I could have him as a 5 year old now as I think he is a once in a life time horse and I am going to struggle to find another horse as loyal, genuine and capable as him.”
