Puffin R

Puffin is a beautiful young gelding by the outstanding Grand Prix dressage stallion Regardez Moi. Regardez Moi is campaigned by Heath Ryan and is the current Australian Grand Prix Dressage Champion, this is the second time he has been the National Champion. Regardez Moi also represented Australia at the 2009 World Cup Finals in Las Vegas USA. On the dam's side the bloodlines are quite unusual in that there is a double cross of Spanish-blood. These bloodlines are the result of the Ryan family horse breeding program originally started by Heath’s parents, Rod and Sue, a long time ago, which led to the production of Benwerrin of Coolalee and Southland of Coolalee, both of which were involved in the lead up to the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The Andalusian blood was added to Heath’s breeding program specifically to increase the genetic capacity for piaffe and passage. Piaffe and passage are known to be highly inheritable and this strong focus on genetics is a key aspect of Heath and Rozzie Ryans breeding program. Puffin has spent 2 years in serious training with the Ryans and is currently schooling shoulder-in, half pass, flying changes, medium trot and canter pirouette. Puffin is really confident, has a very quiet temperament. Puffin has a future as a serious competition horse.
