Oksana

Oksana is another Raven daughter making her Indy's half sister. Oksana's dam is Eliza. We actually sold Oksana as a weanling with a payment contract. The lady buying her paid $500 to $1000.00 a month. After 10 months she had only $1000.00 more to make and Oksana would be hers when she contacted me to ask if she could transfer the payments from Oksana to 2 other mares we had listed for sale. Both of these mares were in foal so she ended up with 4 horses and we got to keep Oksana and were we ever glad about that. She is just 1 day old in the picture below.
Below Oksana is just a bit over 3 weeks old. 
Below she is 6 months old.
Below she shows a promise of coming beauty in her year old picture.
She was lightly started under saddle at 2 years of age then put back out at Middle Grove to grow up a bit more. Below is her 2 year picture.
At 3 years of age she was taken to Rhoda in Bloomington, IL and put into a more intensive training for a month then brought back here for trail riding and more arena work with other mares. Below Emily is cantering her in the outdoor arena,
Oksana was bred to Evan and is due Oct 22nd. She will have our last foal for the year. Oksana is now leading the trail rides. She crosses the creeks, swims, jumps the logs and ditches and both Rhoda and Emily believe Oksana is going to be our next Jenis! (that's saying something) 
Oksana was shown during the CIRTS fund raiser at Weaver Farms when she was just a few months old with her best friend and sister Olympia.
This year will be the first year she will be at the Illinois Horse Fair and coincidentally Olympia will be there too. Do you think they will remember each other? She is a typical Raven daughter, loves people, loves attention.
