Elfin, (registered with ASHA as: Ivory Lace) is the latest saddlebred addition to Formosus. She has beautiful effortless movement and shows a great range of motion in all her joints, a quality she appears to pass on to her foals. She possesses nice correct functional conformation for all around use, ellegance and presence, the whole thing wrapped in a very striking color. Prior to coming up north from Ohio in 2009 Elfin carried 2 saddlebred foals. She delivered a third one for us in 2010.
Temperament: Elfin has a healthy dose of self confidence and a definite sense of entitlement! What else should one expect from an alpha mare that was pretty much left alone for most of her life prior to coming to our farm. Like most saddlebreds she has a lot of energy and stamina, she is sensitive and quick. Her intense curiosity and clear affection for people is sometime put in hilarious contrast with her haughty attitude. She was started under saddle this fall, once she got over the shock of what was expected of her (dear god! you want me do do what??) she progressed nicely. She will return for more work in the fall of 2011.
