O'So Friendly Video

6/19/’05, 16 h., Premium ISR/Oldenburg mare, high score of her inspection with a 107.  She is out of Friendly Furiosa (line breeding of Furioso II and Inschallah), by Opus*.  At her first show, O' So Friendly came home with a blue ribbon for Fillies of 2005 and the Reserve Young Horse Championship.  2007 - Winner 2YO Fillies at Silverwood D&B Show, June 16  O' So Friendly is very well broke, easy on the bit, and safe enough for anyone, with big expressive gaits - scores 8 & 9.  Unlimited dressage and hunter potential.  First show of 2008 she won all 3 of her classes, Materiale Championship, T4 class, and high score of show.

 

Sire: Opus* is Dutch registered, ISR/Oldenburg approved, 2006 USDF #1 Dressage Breeding Sire (2nd in 2005 and 2004),   #1 NA/WPN Dressage Breeding Sire in USEF rankings for 2005 and 2004, #1 Producer of Premium Mares and HOY Winners since 2005.  Opus* received a dressage score of 140.59 at his stallion testing, one of the highest ever.  He received the only 9 given in the gaits category (by all 4 judges), and one of only two 10's given in ridability!  Opus has won 2nd place four times at Dressage at Devon and has qualified to 3rd level by 5 years old.    

 

Dam: Friendly Furiosa ia a large, 16.3 hand, very correct, quiet mare. She was jumping out of 4’3" pasture fences as a filly, and has a scar on her hind leg from jumping the manure spreader. Friendly Furiosa is very easy to ride and has good gaits with a great up-hill canter for upper level dressage. She has one of the best Olympic pedigrees in the US.  Friendly Furiosa is TWICE line bred, in the first two generations, to the immortal Inschallah and the legendary Furioso II. Both of these sires together have had over 15 on the Olympic team in both jumping and dressage.  Friendly, her St. Pr. dam, and her sire are ALL 3/4 blood siblings to the Olympic stallion Heisman. Friendly's dam showed very successfully at fourth level dressage and as a modified jumper, and has produced several approved stallions, both of which were recently gelded to be sold (for a lot more money) to two very amateur riders.
