Sienna

   


Name Sienna

Height Currently 15.1hh and still growing

Breed Polling (by Pilot Bavarian Warmblood) x Westland Bay


Bred out of Florence (Westland Bay) having survived a colic operation (Florence was 8 months in foal at the time of the operation) Sienna was lucky to have been born at all.

Sienna has proven to be a testing youngster at just a few weeks old she proved to have a very sharp temperament and showed her self as fearful of next to nothing, a bit of a fire cracker she earned her self the nickname Satun’s Daughter, leading her just short distances could prove challenging. As a yearling she some how took a metal gate of its hinges slicing her fetlock to the bone, 7 months box rest followed while it repaired, amazingly she was never lame but the stable confinement did nothing to improve her temperament to handle and be around. As soon as possible she was then turned out and left to grow up.


She is now rising 4 in 2009 and I am glad to say her temperament seems to be mellowing, she was lightly backed last summer I was expecting some potential for resistance but quite the opposite she seems to finally be growing up with no fear of anything she took to long reining, lungeing, saddling and backing with no problems watch this space to see how she develops.
