WIND RIDGE HT 2025
Raven is absolutely wonderful! He is sweet and cuddly, loves to be groomed and bathed.
Raven Sky is Jockey Club registered, with plans to be licensed with as many registries as will take him.
He is very sweet, willing, and is incredibly intelligent.
He is showing an aptitude for learning, and a talent for sport: jumping, dressage, foxhunting, etc. Very mellow and does not exert energy for shenanigans. No prep kind of show horse.
We believe Raven will be a multifaceted stallion, able and willing to enjoy anything of which we ask him.
Doing well in the Thoroughbred hunter divisions, with hope of doing the big derbies!
