The horses listed below are
sired by MEISTERWIND or
LION KING out of very good quality,
well bred mares. Our mares are Warmblood, Anglo-Arab and Purebred
Arabian.
Most of
these youngsters are Branded
and have German passports (papers) with the
Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar
(Zwebrücken) Verband. These young horses are healthy, sound, and
have received excellent care and nutrition from birth. They are
raised outside and are tough and athletic. They are not "hot house
flowers"! They are brought into the barn, handled and worked with
and then returned to their group pasture. They are in training with
GRAND PRIX rider and USDF BRONZE, SILVER AND GOLD
MEDALIST, CRAIG HECKERT.
Meisterwind produces very good
minded, trainable youngsters and this group of prospects are no
exception. They have excellent and correct movement and should excel
in any discipline. They are nice horses to train being smart and
cooperative. Excellent work ethic is natural with the Meisterwind
offspring.
They are slow to mature and it seems like they
take forever to grow up which requires patience, but they are well
worth the wait! AND, they also stay sound!
AT OUR RPSI KEURING EACH YEAR,
THE JUDGES COMMENT ON HOW MEISTERWIND "STAMPS" HIS OFFSPRING WITH "WONDERFUL UPHILL MOVEMENT, CORRECT LEGS AND FEET, AND ALWAYS, A
GOOD DISPOSITION".
LION KING is one of the best bred
and most promising young stallions available today. He comes
from a family of "rideability" and his first foals have the same
incredible people friendly attitude! They are under saddle now and
are wonderful! Lion King earned his breeding
Approval on performance at FEI Level. |

We have been updating the
videos of the youngsters we have for sale. You can see them at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/RivervaleFarm
Please keep in mind that
these videos were done in February and these horses live outside. We
are in the midst of one of our coldest winters on record so everyone
has a thick winter coat. The horses are also presented naturally,
not kept stalled for days to have them revved up for videos or
spooked with bags and such to "enhance" their movement. |
|
We are always open to negotiation
and offers, especially to show homes. These are super nice youngsters,
sired by stallions with impressive show records and in
training with a young horse specialist, who is also an accomplished
competitor. Our
horses have very good reputations for being uncomplicated to ride
and easy to get along with.
Don't
think that because our prices are reasonable, there is something "wrong"
with our horses. The truth is that this is a horse business, supported by
the horses. Which of course means sales.
Give a Rivervale Farm horse a try. You won't be sorry!!

Maestro
2008 Black Zweibrucken gelding by
Meisterwind, out of the Arabian mare, Sarah Song. This cross has
been one of our favorites. We have two full sisters of Maestro in
our broodmare band. One who produced a high scoring RPSI colt.
Maestro is a very promising gelding.
He has breathtaking movement and a people loving disposition. We
took him away from his pasture buddies, took him to the indoor and
introduced him to the jump chute. He was as calm as could be and
thought jumping was a fun game. All while a winter storm was raging
outside.
Maestro is registered and branded
RPSI and life registered with USEF.
A new video of Maestro is up. Click

RF Maravedi
4/12/2003 metallic
bay, Zweibrucken (Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar) gelding. By
Meisterwind, out of St. Pr. Chipper Bezt x. This guy is the most
unusual color. He has a metallic sheen that gives his coat a "glow".
Marvi is an easy
horse to ride on the flat or over fences. He rides nicely inside or
out on the trails. He has a very nice jump, flying changes and
wonderfully correct, rhythmic gaits. He enjoys his work and is
a bold jumper, cross country or in the arena. His flatwork is
excellent as well.
Marvi will gallop
cross country or trail ride on a long rein, whatever his rider
chooses. He has been to a couple of shows and has been wonderful. He
is very good standing tied, being ridden in a large group of horses
and jumping courses. He scored 66% at a recent show, Training Level,
Test 3. He loads, hauls, clips and is an all around "good guy".
Marvi loves to work
and shows a ton of potential to be successful in whatever discipline
you choose. Marvi is a "beefy" 15.2 making him perfect for the
smaller rider or any rider who doesn't want a huge horse. The rider
in these photos is 5'11" showing that Marvi is not a small horse.
Marvi has very good legs and feet. He has never taken a lame step or
been sick. He is an incredibly kind, talented and beautiful horse.
SOLD
See Marvi's
video, updated August, 2009, here:

Marvi was shown at the Central States
Fair Hunter / Jumper Show on Aug. 29. He had super nice rounds
earning a 4th in the Regular Hunter 2'6" to 3' and winning the
Hunter Stake, 3' to 3'6".

Marker was shown at the Central
States Fair Hunter / Jumper Show on August 29 where he showed his
willingness and ability, winning the Open Jumping!
RF MARK THE
SPOT
2003 Bay Tobiano Gelding. By Meisterwind, out of Sage's Painted Lady
APHA. This is a very nice gelding for someone looking for
"color". His mother is a Homozygous Tobiano Paint/Pinto mare
who has points in Open, Novice and Amateur English Pleasure. She is
the only non-warmblood mare in our breeding program and she is here
because she is so exceptional. This gelding is incredible. He
looks and moves like a Warmblood. Marker has everything it
takes to be competitive in whatever discipline you choose. Plus he
has a sweet, cooperative disposition. He can be registered
Pinto. Marker is 15.2, the perfect size for the person who doesn't
want a giant. The rider in these photos is 5'11".
Marker is great under saddle, easy
and comfortable to ride. He is good at shows and has jumped nicely
around courses up to 3'6". Marker enjoys jumping and has nice enough
movement to be competitive in the Dressage arena. Marker was used as
a "demo" horse at an Expo this Spring and jumped 4' in front of a
noisy, rowdy crowd. He was solid and sane throughout.
He goes nicely in the arena and out
on the trails. He rides great in a plain snaffle. He is good
galloping cross country and jumps into and out of water and over
ditches. He has a very nice jump and easy flying changes. He has
been to a couple of shows and has been very well behaved, standing
tied, being ridden in a large group of horses and jumping courses.
He scored 66% in his first dressage test, Training Level, Test 1. He
loads, hauls, clips and shoes. Because of his quiet disposition,
Marker would make a wonderful partner for a child or a timid rider.

video, updated August, 2009, here!
