A New Chapter for Harry and the Beginning of a Brilliant Career for Fritz!

Harry was picked up this morning and is off to Sara Mittleider in Idaho. Will always be happy Kristen found him, leased him and gave him his start in eventing. I honestly can't say enough good things about her. Thanks again, K!

It was obvious from the start Harry was uber-talented as an eventer and would quickly need someone to take him to the next level. Enter Sara Mittleider - 5x Rolex KY3DE rider who's had Harry's full brother Manny since March 2009. Sara's looking for her next Intn'l. eventing super-star once she retires current star El Primero (a.k.a. Tony) and she's had her eye on Harry for some time. As it became apparent Manny's future was in SJ and Harry progressed faster than anyone expected, it seemed like a good time to send Harry to Sara and Manny to Helmut (Schrant Taz's former trainer/rider). Harry & Sara debut next week so stay tuned for news about this exciting pair!

As other Taz kids turn 4 and start under saddle, will give updates on them. And the first update is on a 2006 gelding who's really something special: Memeltanz (a.k.a. Fritz) is out of the outstanding TK mare, Mixta (Erzsand *E* - Condus *E*). This talented grey is now under saddle and though unconfirmed in this footage, his suppleness, suspension & power is already impressive and he will be a formidable dresage competitor as the 2010 show season progresses.
