Ziva's name is Hebrew for "bright" and "radient". She has embodied these characteristics from the day she was born. She takes after her mom with her refined dished profile and her similarly marked body. We expect her to display sabino markings like Zaira. Ziva has a high neck carriage and elegant movement that makes it impossible to keep your eyes off her as she floats around the field.

Ziva comes from excellent lines on both sides; her maternal grand-dam is our imported Irish mare Ailish, and her maternal grandsire is Rock Ranch Nelson, an English-bred stallion now in California. Her sire is our stud Vimto, who comes from the well-known Vines lines. Ziva is an excellent combination of her sire and dam, and has taken on the best attributes of each. Her temperment and athleticism will allow her to excell in any discipline asked of her. She has showy, springy gaits that would shine under harness, in the dressage ring, or in western disciplines. She also has a sweet personality and good mind suitable for a trail or pleasure horse, or family pet.

Ziva is offered for sale at this time, please contact us if you are interested in her, seeing more photos or seeing a video. We are excited to have such a great filly for sale, and we know she is someone's dream horse!

As a two-year-old, Ziva has begun some training for being started both under saddle and in harness. Her first experience with a bareback pad and a cinch was a non-event, and she happily continued doing weave patterns and all that I asked of her without showing any concern for the new feeling. She is a very confident learner and a great student.

Here is one of Ziva's videos on YouTube. You can see her second time working on the weave pattern.
