"The color and the sweetness of dark chocolate, with an incredible kind character, attitude and three super gaits.Very secure and mature in her mind.
Congratulations to Anne Deprez from Louisville, KY!"
Buyer Anne Deprez comments, "I first rode "Keena" together with my trainer Monica Bliss in February shortly after her arrival in the US.
Instantly we felt that this horse was very special, a perfect lady, everything Alex said she would be and more. In addition to an abundance of natural ability, a charming personality and sense of humour, she has the most level head of any horse I have ever met.
Her training progresses rapidly due to her incredible ridebility, and she's mostly ridden by me, a vintage novice amateur dressage rider.
Monica Bliss showed her September 2006 in her first show (MSEDA - Lexington, KY) in 4 training level tests, scoring between 72% and 76%. Wolkina is zee most perfect amateur horse!

Unbelievable rhythm in all gaits. Perfect balance combined with superior work ethic and a gentleman's temperament,
make this horse an international hopeful on the dressage stage! Congratulations to Chrissa Hoffmann from Louisville, KY - she can do it !!
Buyer Chrissa Hoffmann comments, "I had an excellent time in Germany with Alex. I have been there several times but never
got to experience the "real" side of Germany. Going with Alex was educational because we got to see everything from babies at breeding farms to
Grand Prix . Seeing some of the old breeding farms and meeting some of the top breeders was a true honor. I can not wait to go back! I love my
new horse that we found, and look forward to showing him. I highly recommend using Alex when importing or buying a horse."
