Meet “Eclipse de Luna” or “Luna” for short.  Luna is a 2000 Selle Francais mare by Duc d’ Inconville.  She is chestnut with 3 socks and a large blaze.  She is 16.1 hh and she is a big girl  !!!  See her full pedigree here:  http://www.sporthorse-data.com/d?i=10674602. 

Luna was shown extensively in the A/O jumpers but did show through the Grand Prix jumpers.  Interestingly, she competed against Richard (shown as Decadent) in the 2007 Fox Lea Grand Prix — Plain Brown Wrapper.    She will be bred to Richard this spring for a 2012 foal who should excel in the jumper ring.  This foal will be available for sale in-utero.  Please contact us if interested.
