RK'S MILAGROSA DE PROFETA

"RK's Milagrosa de Profeta", or Millie as we call her, is very fino, 8-year-old mare sired by the Multi National and International Fino Champion, "Profeta de Besilu", and an equally exceptional fino mare, sired by "Carmin", named "Carmina del Conde", who was initially owned by Jamie Suarez.

For her first year under saddle, Ramon Figueroa trained and showed Millie in open Pleasure, Performance, and Fino classes. Although she easily qualified for all three of these classes for the 2001 Nationals, towards the end of the show year, she showed her naturalness for fino.

At the 2001 Nationals, Millie and Ramon finished as 5th National Champion in a class of 24 fillies, in 3-year-old Fino Fillies.

For the 2002 show year, Millie was trained and shown by her owner, Rose Marie Burke in a number of sanctioned USA/PFHA shows. This year, Rose put more emphasis on Millie's mental training with lots of desensitizing, flexation, and stamina building drills, knowing that Lynn would also show her sparingly in A/O 4-year-old fino fillies, at Nationals.

With only one previous show together, and with Rose's expert guidance with this filly, Lynn and Millie won Reserve National Champion, A/O 4-year-old Fino Fillies, at the 2002 PFHA Grand National Championship, in Perry, Georgia.

In October of 2002, Millie reached another milestone in her early career by earning her T.O.P., Title of Proficiency, for having accumulated at least 500 show points in sanctioned PFHA shows.

During the 2003 show year, Millie was shown sparingly as a Fino mare in both amateur owner and open classes. Although she did very well at the regional and National level with her classes, we chose not to push her and allow her to mature more both physically and mentally before really beginning training for future Fino mares classes.

For the 2006 show year, Millie will be shown in Open Fino Mares with her owner/trainer, Rose Marie Burke. Since she was allowed to skip the 2004 and 2005 show years to gain more confidence and maturity, she should again be a very strong contender for this class at the regional and National level.
