An exciting opportunity to own a seasoned Grand Prix horse! 🦄
Eccobria has competed extensively in the Grand Prix and internationally at Small Tour. Scores up to 70% in both. She is a 16.1 h 2009 mare by Sandro Hit x Contango. Bria has been a loyal partner to me since I bought her as a 3 yr old so a five star home is required. No vices, receives normal maintenance for her age/level. Please pm me for video and price. Negotiable within reason to the perfect person.

Eccobria🖤
I thought Bria deserved her own post after the super season we’ve had together! It’s been a long road, from a gangly, wild three year old to now a 15 year old solidified Grand Prix horse. This mare has taught me so much; how to think outside the box, learn patience, when to diversify your coaching team, and most of all to have faith in myself.❤️ This sport is not for the faint of heart. I spent many nights wondering if her change would ever be more change and less flying.😂 But the resulting partnership is so worth it! I’m so proud of Bria this past winter scoring up to 70% in the Grand Prix and more importantly, gaining confidence each week. Excited to work on the Grand Prix Special and maybe even a Freestyle for next season!🤗 🪄
