Lot 11 - Act of Congress (Congress)


Congress with student trainer Erin Turrentine (click to zoom)

Congress has been ridden consistently as a lesson horse and practice mount for the last 6 years. Her sire Caracas is by the internationally famous Cor De La Bryere. (click here to read details of Cor De La Bryere).  Congress requires a quiet, kind, soft handed rider.


She is sound and suitable for most shows, but the high stress and noise of “A” level shows have made her nervous in the past. However, Congress is the perfect horse for a professional trainer who wants a lesson horse that can be used for beginners up to advanced riders.

Cor de la Bryere (pictured below) progeny continue to shine - at the 2001 European Showjumping champs, the Cor de la Bryere son, Broere VDL Corland, led the competition going into the final day.

She also is a terrific show jumper when managed and ridden properly. She might make a terrific fox hunting mount! Congress has been successfully trail ridden while at the University.

Congress was donated by Mr. & Mrs. John Roberts of Albuquerque, NM. Her papers were lost some time ago and to get them replaced would be very difficult. We are selling her “as is”, without them.  Dates and details are not officially documented.


Sire, Caracass
