Florence R is the first of the three Fiji R lots to appear.
Florence R is a 4-year-old mare carrying exquisite bloodlines. As with all the Fiji R youngsters, Florence R has a wonderful temperament and this comes from the stallion Florestan I.
Florence R has a really great laidback walk with super overtrack. At first when she is trotted up she is very quiet, however, with some encouragement one realises she is unexpectedly dynamic with great hock bend and typical Fiji R front forearms dancing across the ground. Her canter is balanced and elegant.
Florence R is out of the Salute mare Slinky R. Salute is probably the most influential performance stallion in Australia at the moment being the sire of Victory Salute 9th in the world at the WEG 2010 and also sire of Stirling Stilton who was the highest-placed Australian horse at the WEG in 2002.Salute is also the sire of Staccato who was ranked the number one eventing stallion in the world some years ago, F1 Pharenelli who was short-listed for the 2012 Olympics, DP Christopher who was the NSW Grand Prix dressage champion and Salute was the sire of the mother of Mystery Whisper, who competed at the London 2012 Olympics.The mare Lynx, who is the mother of Slinky R, is a full sister to Londoner who was an absolute superstar dressage horse with Olympian Mary Hanna.
Florence R is a wonderful opportunity.
