Highlights:

Bridl successfully facilitated the sale of Liarada S, a 2011 bay mare registered with the BWP studbook, to 14-year-old junior rider Taja in Slovenia. With a stellar competition history at the 1.45m level under top riders and a distinguished pedigree, Liarada S was the perfect match for Taja’s competitive ambitions. This transaction underscores Bridl’s dedication to transparency, client satisfaction, and creating lifelong equestrian partnerships.

Background:

Taja, a passionate 14-year-old rider with aspirations to compete in junior-level events, sought a horse that could match her drive and potential. Her search led her to Bridl, where she connected with CEO Marie and expressed her vision of a competitive partner. 

Bridl took on the challenge of finding the perfect horse to help Taja achieve her dreams.

Enter Liarada S, a 2011 bay mare whose impressive career includes consistent performances at the 1.45m level with some of the world’s top riders:

• Niels Bruynseels (BEL) – Competed at 1.45m in 2019
• William Whitaker (GBR) – Competed at 1.45m in 2018

Liarada S is sired by Diarado, a renowned stallion known for his success at the 1.50m level and whose lineage includes Diamant de Semilly and Le Tot de Semilly. 

Her dam, Amke S, further enriches her pedigree with legendary jumpers like Carthago and Voltaire. This exceptional heritage made Liarada S the ideal choice for a young rider aiming to make a mark in the competitive arena.
