She has been at the side of Alexandra Dietl since the age of two and a half and is an integral part of her life &#8211; although Alexandra Dietl had initially looked for a different type of &#8216;Arab&#8217; &#8230;<br \/>\nEven as a child, Alexandra Dietl was fascinated by Arabian horses, but they had to be beautiful, the way she saw them pictured in a book with lots of &#8220;dish&#8221; &#8211; it had to be a dream horse! When, by the end of the 1980ies, time was ripe for her first own horse, she was searching for exactly that dream horse: &#8220;But I couldn&#8217;t find an Arabian who was absolutely reliable, rideable and quiet, with an distinct &#8216;Arabian head&#8217; and which I could afford&#8221;, recalls Alexandra Dietl. &#8220;But then, after some time, I realized that the head is not everything, and so I bought my character dream horse&#8221;, she adds. She had known Plejada, since she was a foal, but so far, she did not match her expectations. But although it was only &#8220;love on second sight&#8221; &#8211; Plejada managed to convince her with her other characteristics. She developed and turned out to be a talent for Western riding, especially Western Pleasure, but also in Reining and Western Horsemanship they achieved first places &#8211; and that were first places in breed open competitions! With her successes, she became Austria&#8217;s most successful purebred Arabian mare in Western sports of her time.<br \/>\nWith regards to breeding, Plejada had five foals, four colts and a filly. All of them have become leisure horses, although Parvati (by Furiant) also showed a lot of talent in Western sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 7th May, the mare Plejada AH celebrated her 30th birthday in Austria.
