The Horses
who are the magic
Fiorentino
2010 KWPN GeldingBy Stedinger x Lancet
Foei is a 16.3 hh dark brown Dutch warmblood gelding. Charell brought him with her when she moved to the US in 2019.
He came into her life in 2016 as a training horse and was gifted to her in 2017. Charell managed to overcome Foei's troubled past and they have built an incredible partnership together. The pair are currently showing FEI level and are embarking on adventures with USEF freestyles.
Klassic

Klassic is a 17 hh dark brown Dutch warmblood gelding. Charell acquired him in 2021 from Sonnenberg Farms in Oregon.
Klassic is progressing nicely with his training and Charell is excited to begin showing him next year.
