2021 Black Registered Percheron Mare • 18.1 Hands • EE aa
All-Stars Captain Quick x Belle View Gizelle
Ariana is an impressive young mare with a world-class pedigree and exceptional movement to match. She made her full show ring debut in 2026 with just five months of training under her belt, stepping directly into a demanding national circuit. With a natural ability, a tremendous work ethic, and a solid mind, Ariana proved herself more than capable of rising to the occasion. Throughout her first season, Ariana earned multiple wins and respectable placings, including at the 2026 Percheron National Show. She also remained undefeated in the Classic Series Adult and Open divisions under multiple judges at the NYS Fair. She successfully competed in both English and Western disciplines throughout the season and also captured a win in a draft horse barrel race, demonstrating the athleticism, stride, and versatility that sets her apart. Ariana's first season on the Classic Riding Series circuit was especially encouraging. At the last available standings we reviewed for the 2025 - 2026 season, we had climbed to 7th place out of 18 on the leaderboard, finishing just outside the top five World Finals qualifying positions. For a young mare with such limited show experience, this was an impressive accomplishment and a promising start to her performance career. Equally important is Ariana's exceptional disposition. Despite her athletic ability and competitive drive, she remains sensible, willing, and trustworthy enough to be ridden by my children at home. Our goal is to continue developing her into a solid youth horse, making her future even more exciting. With her pedigree, movement, trainability, and early proven performance, Ariana is a valuable addition to our broodmare program and a mare with tremendous ability under saddle. Ariana has made an incredible debut to her performance career and she is only just getting started.
