“AES Black River Dun Rush”
Rush
2018 Bay Dun Mare EeAa D/d nd1
Rush is a stunning bay dun mare that we are so privileged to have been able to bring to Montana. I originally connected with her breeder, Jessica McNamara of Aesthetic Equine LLC, back in 2020 when we purchased her 3/4ths sister, River. Rush is a granddaughter of Black River Major and a dun, so that was a huge draw to her at the time. But understandably, Jessica was retaining her. Just a few short years later, Jessica was making changes to her program and offered this absolutely incredible mare to us.
Rush is started under saddle and is showing great promise as a sport prospect. She is naturally underneath of herself with an uphill canter. Her natural suspension is truly impressive, even when she’s being a spicy noodle she’s truly stunning to watch move. Just like River, Rush is incredibly people oriented and loves being doted on. We will be competing in open competition with her and have plans for her first cross in 2023.
Rush is 14.2hh but still has some growing to do! She is negative for PSSM1. Her color genetics are EeAa D/d nd1. She is by Royal Gold Ariston (Owned and publicly standing at Aesthetic Equine LLC) and out of Bonnie Lee Jackie, a treasured Black River Major daughter. Like River, Rush has several siblings and half-siblings that are active in sport, performance and general pleasure. We have high hopes for her addition to our program! If you can’t tell, we love these lines!
