Edelbluthaflinger, Mare, 8 years, 15 hh, Chestnut-Red

Listing Overview

Bandura brings something rarely seen in the dressage market: a proven winner who's genuinely safe for young riders to handle. This eight-year-old Edelbluthaflinger mare claimed first place at the Nürnberger Burgpokal Qualifikation Junioren Thüringen in 2025, a prestigious achievement made more remarkable by the fact she only began her undersaddle career at six after initially standing at stud. Her first competition season produced consistent placings through First and Second Level with scores reaching 8.0, demonstrating the focus and talent that comes through her sire NOVENTIS. What makes her particularly appealing is the combination of serious sport credentials with a temperament her owners describe as balanced, friendly, and genuinely people-oriented. She's the kind of mare you can trust with children in the barn yet confident enough to hold her own against tall warmbloods in the competition arena. At 15 hands, she carries larger riders comfortably while remaining easy to manage from the ground. Her owners note she's never been sick, loads and shoes without fuss, and shows the same cooperative attitude whether schooling at home or warming up at shows. Beyond dressage, she jumps confidently through Training Level courses and goes boldly cross country, particularly enjoying natural obstacles. As a Staatsprämienstute who's competed at the Elitestutenschau and successfully raised a foal, she offers breeding value alongside her competitive career. Her distinctive long mane and typey presence make her visually striking, while her steady, honest way of going makes her comfortable to sit and straightforward to ride. For someone seeking a horse who can teach without intimidating, compete without drama, and bring versatility to a program, she offers an unusual package.
