Over the years, many of our
customers have expressed the concern that truly classically
started horses are altogether too rare.
The Pennsylvania Riding Academy
has begun to concentrate on producing young correct horses
for sale. We will offer several young horses throughout
the year, and we would ask interested people to check the
website regularly, but also to email or call, since some
horses may not be ready for the website, but might be available
shortly. In some cases, horses can be specifically prepared
for buyers.
These horses are either bred
here at our farm or are selected as prospects. All prospects
are rigorously selected for disposition and trainability
first, then for athletic potential. They have undergone
a thorough medical exam, including x-rays.
The education of these horses
has not been relegated to novice riders or working students,
nor hurriedly prepared for auction, but the opposite. They
are started by the most experienced FEI riders and are either
ridden by Paul Belasik or are directly supervised by him
in daily practices.
Our aim is to produce a horse
capable of providing a classical riding experience.

gelding

come to life. He has a great personality for a partner.
Forbito is a very well balanced horse both mentally and
physically, he loves people and his work, a safe horse with
highest potential. Solid 2nd level, beginning to work on

Audaz
(Sold) |
 |
 |
15.3hh 4 year old Half-Andalusian
gelding. This horse is a horse of a lifetime. Extremely light,
balanced and uphill, he is already showing definite aptitude
for the upper levels of dressage, both physically and mentally.
Very baroque purebred looks, with beautiful expressive movement
and an almost-iridescent burnished bay coat.
Audaz is a barn favorite, is like a big pet on the ground,
and is accepting of everything presented to him. He is absolutely
quiet and reliable, loves to work, and is sweet and affectionate
towards people.
He has started all of his lateral work and counter canter.
This horse is an absolute blast to ride! |

Rococo

 |
| 8 year olf 16.1hh Andalusian/Swedish Warmblood mare. Grey, very pretty and calm, nice mover, VERY comfortable. Has all lateral work and counter canter. Has been in school program for last 2 years. She will occasionally stop and look at strange things, but is very safe, has never bucked or bolted. Would not be suitable for an extreme novice or very timid rider, but if you have a limited budget and are willing to put time, patience and regular riding into this horse, she could be quite nice. Easy keeper, sound and healthy, vetted 2 years ago with xrays. |

Valentina
(Sold) |
|
16hh 3 year old 15/16 Andalusian
mare. This is one of the nicest horses we have started. She
is by Excelso, who is consistently winning at Grand Prix,
under such judges as 'O' judge Axel Steiner. She is out of
the 7/8 Andalusian mare, Elegante Francesca.This mare is a
full sister to a horse we sold a couple of years ago, Toros
Bravos, who can be seen in a soon-to-be-released film, "The
Lost Quixotes." Bravos is a 17.1hh beautiful copper bay.
Tina has an outstanding temperament; she never shies or misbehaves.
Every day it is a pleasure to ride her. She works alone or
with other horses, and has started lateral work and counter
canter.
She has natural flying changes in the field and on the longe,
like all of the Excel offspring. She is a beautiful mover,
extremely comfortable to ride. Valentina has unlimited potential,
with a solid 10 for disposition. |
