Double the talent, double the celebration! 🎉
These two talented half-brothers, Bon Jovi RS (Bon Coeur x Rianna/Regazzoni) and Felini (Fidertanz x Rianna/Regazzoni), are a wonderful reflection of Kendall Brookhart’s breeding program, demonstrating exceptional athleticism and versatility across disciplines.

🥇 Bon Jovi RS (“Jonny”) a 6-year-old gelding enjoyed a spectacular outing at the USDF Region 5 Championships, earning an impressive collection of honors:

🏆 Champion – Fourth Level Open Freestyle
🥈 Reserve Champion – Third Level Open
🥈 Reserve Champion – Third Level Freestyle
🥉 Third Place – Fourth Level Open

Expertly trained and ridden by Taylor McAnally, Jonny continues to demonstrate tremendous promise, with the pair now planning their trip to the US Dressage Finals!

🏆 Region 2 Champion – Level 2 Open
🌟 High Score Dressage – 71.1%
