Darden Hearts A' Fire has a pedigree of champions. She is a Gayfield bred mare by JG Cops and Robbers out of Gayfields New Best Friend. JG Cops and Robbers is not available to the public so this is an opportunity to have a large Gayfield bred mare going well under saddle rarely available to the public. This mare has a total of 90 plus days under saddle with a professional trainer, Danielle Gadd. In that short of time, she has quite a show record. At the WPCSA Eastern Nationals, she was English Pleasure Division Reserve Champion. These were not small classes. She is soft and supple quick to learn. My beginner level 7 yr old daughter rides her. She would be a great pony for an intermediate rider to show or a beginner walk-trot rider with a trainer to help instruct the rider. This mare is very soft and light to the aids.

Currently, she navigates trail obstacles such as side-pass rails, dog-leg, 360 box, jump, bridge, gate, slicker, water box, L back through, mail box and more. Transitions are beautiful. She has been on numerous trail rides. She is careful and willing on the trail. She has proven herself as a broodmare. Darden Hearts A' Fire produces an abundance of colostrum and milk, allows imprinting, is easy to breed and foals without issue. She passes height, excellent length of stride and bone to her offspring. She does have limited vision in her right eye due to protein substance in eye from cornea replacement surgery from injury not cosmetically noticeable. Below are photos of one of her progeny, MRF Dynamic Deluxe. Photos were taken when he was a 2 yr old.
