Route 66

Beautiful black 2012 Oldenburg gelding (Routinier x Diamont). "Routi" is about 15.2h with enough body to take up a longer leg (rider in photos is 5'10"). 3 comfortable gaits. He is currently schooling all of the First Level movements and enjoys hacking out.
Through no fault of his own, Routi's work has been sporadic over the years. He has a solid foundation and a super fun personality and would make a wonderful lower level dressage or all around partner for an amateur or Jr/YR.

📍Located in Branchburg, NJ

Bingh and I competed at Red Tail Farm yesterday, thankfully early enough to beat the heat. I was so happy with the effort Bingh put in for his 2nd time out at I1. Much more power and adjustability this time out with plenty room for improvement. We placed 2nd in the class with a 63.7%. Thank you to Bingh’s owner Suzanne Stites for trusting me with your boy! Thank you to The Distinguished Rider for keeping me comfortable in my Kingsley Capri Boots! Lastly, thank you to Red Tail Farm for a great show - I was super impressed with the footing after all the rain the night before! Kingsley Riding Kingsley USA Kingsley Footwear USA

Congratulations to Donna Dawson-Luckey on her Century Ride with Coconella, a 1995 Swedish Warmblood/Holsteiner mare by LA Baltic Sun, owned by Fran Crocco. Donna and Coco put in a lovely Training Level Test 2 at the farm, judged by Amy Gimbel (R). What an accomplishment!
