Carbondale’s French Connection is a by French Kiss (Florestan I, Donnerhall) out of Hope (Hohenstein, Rubinstein I). She is a gorgeous and wonderfully bred black mare. She is 4-years-old and stands at 16.2. Carbondale Farms bred and imported her from Germany as a 2-year-old. 

French Connection was named the Top Mare of the 2007 for the German Oldenburg Verband (GOV) Inspection Season.  She was given the HIGHEST scores awarded to a mare last year and was awarded the prestigious Cindy Bergmann award for her fantastic conformation, big elastic gaits, and her quiet character.  She was awarded an 8.0 overall, an 8.5 for impulsion and elasticity (trot), and an 8.5 for overall general impression and development.

She needs to go to sport and prove herself.  She has had 90 days of basic training under saddle with experience on trails and in arenas. She is super sweet on the ground and under saddle.  We are offering her for $70,000 but are negotiable to a good home.  She definitely has the potential to do Grand Prix level dressage. Recent video of Carbondale’s French Connection at liberty is available upon request.
