Shown as " Passionate"

16.1h Hanoverian Mare

(Samba Hit-Convoi-Glanz).

​Sienna completed her States Premium requirement in Germany with high marks for her gaits. In the US she moved from the dressage ring to a hunter career where Sienna was a successful hunter with Scott Stewart and Tori Colvin at the most prestigious shows in the country. Truly a multi-talented mare that is sweet and sensible.

She is incredibly kind and an amazing mover and jumper. She produces sweet and athletic foals.
