Meet Encore, the handsome 12-year-old Warmblood gelding ridden by Grace Taylor. Encore is by Be Bravo and out of Liza-Li and was bred by Christoph Lueth. Encore is boarded outside of Houston, TX at Marlac Farm where the pair trains with Martien Van Der Hoeven.
Encore is a shiny dark bay with a small star in the very middle of his forehead and four white socks. He has the kindest eyes and a loving personality. Recently Grace showed him at Week III of Pin Oak 2022, and the pair placed Champion in their division. Although this is Grace’s horse, her mom, LeighAnn loves him as well and sneaks in a ride when she can! LeighAnn recently showed Encore this past February at WEC and was Reserve Champion out of 78 in her division!
LeighAnn and Grace are able to share their passion and love for horses with one another while traveling to horse shows and lessons at the barn together. Riding has become a family affair at the Taylor household!
