Stana  11. 12. 2004

Ostin Stanan kun se oli vasta 3 vuotias, eli siis vuonna 1986. Se on suvultaan amerikkalais-ven�l�inen ravihevonen, s�k�korkeutta sille on kertynyt 165 cm ja v�rilt��n se on ruunikonkimo.

Stanasta oli yritetty tehd� ravuria, mutta sen nopeus ei riitt�nyt, joten se p��tyi minulle ratsuksi. Kimmo Kinnunen Varkaudesta antoi hevoselle peruskoulutuksen ja min� jatkoin sitten siit�.

Kilpailin Stanalla useita vuosia aluetasolla sek� esteiss� ett� koulussa. Stana saavutti esteiss� 110 cm:n ja koulussa IIB:n (vaativa B) tason. Stana piti enemm�n esteist�, min� taas koulusta.

Vuonna 2000 entinen koirani Musi kuoli ja ostin Jonnin. Stana teloi samana kes�n� oikean etujalan hankositeen tukisiteen ja joutui levolle. Paraneminen kesti sen verran kauan, ett� p��tin j�tt�� hepan suosiolla el�kkeelle. Stana viett��kin nyt ansaittuja el�kep�ivi� kes�laitumella Kuoringassa, l�hell� meid�n kes�m�kki�mme.

I bought Stana when he was just 3-years-old. So I have owned him now about 18 years! It is a long time!

His sire is an american standardbred and dam a russian trotter. He was not fast enough so he ended up as a riding horse. Because he is a showy horse (grey and big, 16.2hh at withers) he adapted well to his new profession.

Stana and I competed mostly in dressage. He could perform half pass (all paces), travers and renvers (all paces), extended and medium walk,trot,canter , pirouette in walk and collected paces. He could do a single flying change. He was an honest horse.

Showjumping was his forte and his joy, but he had some trouble with his feet so I did not jump him often.

Stana was my companion in competitions for more that 10 years. Now he is retired. I will keep him as long as he is healthy. I owe him that!
