Rapport aka “Ralphie” has recently been purchased by Joe Calao of McGregor. Joe intends to leave Ralphie in training with us at Cadence Ranch and continue to take him up the levels. To date Ralphie has been very successful. He was started as a 4 year old and just now turning 7 is showing 4^th level and schooling Prix St. George and Intermediare I. He has shown very successful throughout the years and this year was no disappointment. His first outing at 4^th level he received scores of 67% and 68% easily qualifying him for USDF Region 9 Championships. Ralphie is working towards his debut at Prix St. George later in the summer.

Rapport is a 17.3hh, 7 year old gelding by Routinier. Like many in the “R” line, he has amazing rideability, character, balance and willingness. Couple these traits with wonderful gaits and it is a recipe for success. Christine has so enjoyed training he that she bred two of her own mares to Routinier. She has a 2008 filly that she will be starting next spring and a 2011 foal on the way.
