Arazkis' & Anikeisha's Ancestors

Footloose's lines honor horse's with a willingness and aptitude for learning as well as great intelligence. Beauty and striking movement combined with size and good bone, add up to an elegance only known to the versatile Gelderlander. We unite the size and bone of the Gelderlander with the refinement and speed of the Thoroughbred and profit with today's remarkable Warmblood breed.

Alana also boasts of the refinement and speed of the Thoroughbred and good bone, size and elegance of the Andulsian breed through the modern day Quarter Horse. I have entered the Sire's lines only on this page. You may view Stormy Red Sniper, their Dam's pedigree here.
