Kaleidoscope received professional training and jumps everything presented to her, including liverpools, skinny/narrow jumps, ditches, table tops in addition to the standard verticals and oxers.  She loves to jump and does it very willingly, at the pace selected by the rider.  Currently she is schooling 3'3" to 3'6" feet. She has always jumped in her plain snaffle or french link bit.   She also is very confirmed in her flying lead changes.  The trainer feels that she would be an excellent 3'6" to 3'9" horse for either hunters, jumpers or combined training.  She is consistently placing in over 95% of the shows she has attended, in Baby Green / Schooling Hunter, in Combined Training and in Dressage (all shows were Rated - Hunter; USEA or USDF recognized).   To highlight this mare's exceptional character, she was entered into the USEA Horse Trials on the spur of the moment (trainer's other horse had to be scratched), had never gone cross country, had only schooled a few xc fences one time and had not done any jumping in a month AND she did GREAT, placing 5th in the competitive Open Novice Division!

Kaleidoscope is currently showing as a 6 year old with her 14 year old owner in rated hunter shows.  Recently, she was 6th of 17 horses in Schooling Hunter and 7th of 10 horses in Childrens 14 and Under Hunter at the AA Rated NC State Fair Hunter Jumper Show.  Her young rider, riding Kaleidoscope, also ribboned in 3 equitation classes.  Earlier in the season, she was 2nd of 18 horses in the PreChild/Adult Flat class at the AA Rated NCHJA Benefit Show.  This is her young rider's first horse and she has only been showing her for around 10 months.

 

Kaleidoscope is by the Registered Dutch Warmblood Stallion J Quest.  JQuest was the Grand Champion Mature Horse at the USDF Breeder's Cup Challenge (Apple Valley, Ca) and is currently showing at 2nd level Dressage and in show jumping.  JQuest is by Argus, ranked in the top 20 sires by the USDF, and was one of the only stallions competing successfully in Grand Prix Show Jumping under Hap Hansen and FEI level dressage simultaneously.  Argus has one of the highest percentages of premium foals in the US per the NA/WPN.  Zolinda, the dam of J Quest, was twice the National Champion Mare of Holland.
