Early Life Rika's dam, Nadia (Zabor x Frolicksome ((Condino; Cor De La Bryere)), was a grand prix jumper in her prime. Her pedigree and talent, has passed onto her daughter (one of only two foals she carried; the other is Rika's full sister Patriot). Sadly Nadia went on to greener pastures in 2015; when Rika was almost two years old. Her sire, Pegasus vom Niehaus-hof, stamped his classic endearing and inquisitive personality on Rika. A brilliant mind, coupled with stunning beauty and a willingness to please those around her. During her adolescence, Rika spent the bulk of her time living in a mare band, at the breeding farm in Anza, CA. Nadia was the lead mare, so Rika instantly became a target for other rival mares, once her dam passed on. As a gentle natured, and incredibly intelligent young mare, Rika didn't take well to the herd dynamic without her dam's protection, and the decision was made to bring her home & begin training. In the company of both Wyndi & Zephi (who is a year younger); Rika learned how to socialize further and discovered her playful, comedic, and often hilarious side; traits she's aptly admired for by those who love and adore her. She is currently in training under saddle with her favorite friend, Michelle Davis. |
