Pluto Pas-de-Deux: Loretta Damron on the Lipizzan Stallion, Pluto III Ambrosia III ("August") and June Boardman on the Lipizzan Gelding, Pluto III Cascadia ("Caspian"). August and Caspian are half-brothers, both sired by Pluto III Belvedera. Pluto Pas-de-Deux Pluto Pas-de-Deux June Boardman on Pluto III Cascadia ("Caspian") Pluto Pas-de-Deux Mares with Foals: Our Announcer, Amelia Gagliano, read a delightful and humorous, yet very educational, script from the Mare's perspective, as she is explaining the heritage and history of the Lipizzan to her foal. Our mares, true to form, took center stage, and improvised their portions of the script. This was probably one of the key highlights of the event. Imperea and her 2006 filly, India (Maestoso II Shama II) acted the parts of Millennia and Apollo, since Millie and Apollo were tired from the activities earlier in the day. Vista and her 2006 bay filly, Vienna (Siglavy V Garbo), played themselves, as the rare bay mare and foal. Imperea with India Vista with Vienna Impromptu Mare and Foal Quadrille Imperea with India
