CALL ME CARMELITA, 2018 15.3h dark bay mare

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

The beautiful Carmelita glows with dappled good health, a testament to the loving care she gets from her owner/trainer.  She is solid bodied, and will take up a lot of leg, so those of you who think you need a tall horse should still give this athletic and great moving mare a serious look. Her build and her great movement suggest some serious sport horse potential here! For her jog video, the mare displayed an impressive ground covering light and lofty trot with a flowing reach, that had both the H/J rider and the eventer who were with us that day quite impressed. Carmelita has compact balanced conformation with a big strong hind engine, a strong shoulder, and a deep heart girth. Her build suggests jumping and galloping over cross country ability, so eventers take note!  Her trainer says that Carmelita would make a great jumper or eventer, and we agree. She reports that Carmelita is sound, clean legged, and has no vices, is good in her stall and good to handle. But she also has “a lot of go,” and energy and loves to work – this makes her best suited for an experienced rider.  Those traits, too, will translate well to eventing and jumping.  She thinks that Carmelita will settle nicely once she has some down time from the track. Carmelita has won 4 races with many other in the money finishes in her 44 race career, but this year she isn’t showing the same interest in racing, so her owner/trainer knows it is best to let her find a new career.  Carmelita is sired by It’smyluckyday, who is a son of Langfuhr from the Danzig line.  We know several people who have had Langfuhr offspring and they report that they have terrific work ethics, durability, stamina, and jumping ability. Her dam has Stormy Atlantic, Halo, Gone West, Blushing Groom, and Roberto in her pedigree – all great sporting horse lines.
