Radiance is an elegant bay Hanoverian mare by Rotspon out of Elite Mare Whitney by Welser (Wolkenstein II). Radiance is stunning, with exceptional beauty, modern type, lovely conformation and presence. She has exceptional elasticity and athleticism, suspension and uphill movement. Her temperament is curious, engaging and impish. Radiance has the presence, conformation, gaits and trainability to be considered a Developing Young Horse or FEI dressage prospect.

Radiance had an exceptional performance career in 2011 with her Young Horse trainer, Ashley Marascalco. Their accomplishments included winning the 4-5 yo Mare Materiale at Dressage at Devon against stiff competition, Mare Champion (in-hand) for Region 1 USDF Breeders Championship Final Series, and achieving her Hanoverian Elite Mare Candidacy with an overall score of 8.78 (including a perfect 10 in the jumping portion of the test).
Radiance continued in full training through the winter months. She was selected for the Markel / USEF Young Horse Dressage Training Session that was held at Shannondale Farm in Alpharetta on Feb.18-19.2012 where she and her Young Horse Trainer, Ashley Marascalco were coached by Scott Hassler, the USEF Young Horse Dressage Coach. Radiance and Ashley are scheduled for dressage competition beginning late April 2012.
