WineGlass Fleurie
1993 Bay mare.

Approved for Shagya and Trakehner breeding. Double registered part-Shagya & IAHA Half-Arabian

Bred by Linda Rudolphi

Awards:
Never out of the ribbons showing in-hand
Nation wide high scoring mare accepted into the Trakehner Pilot program.

Fleurie is being retired as a WineGlass broodmare. She has been ridden on trail and competed in one limited distance endurance ride. WineGlass Fleurie is a full sister to my personal riding horse WineGlass Lambrusco, a natural on the trail and winner of a couple of best condition awards at the age of 14.

The maternal grand-sire of WineGlass Fleurie, JJ Zantar bred by Jim & JoAnne Gernant), was a diversified multi-champion stallion. UMECRA Top Ten 8 years, Canadian National Competitive Trail Top Ten (third) 1982, consistent winner in Western pleasure, English pleasure, Costume, Trail class, and Halter. He also carried the IAHA Region XI runner up queen candidate. His greatest accomplishment, carrying the Rudolphi kids safely on the trail and to the ribbons!

At the Trakehner inspections, WineGlass Fleurie received a 9 for her trot, an 8 for her walk, 8 for type and an 8 for temperament. Judges comments include “has harmony” and “should cross nicely with a variety of stallions.” The Shagya judges also rewarded all three gaits with scores of 8. Comments included “beautiful bay mare with a deep feminine body.” “walk with a swing back, and “uphill gallop.”
