Brrrr, right when the snow is falling over the mountains I run out of heating, great timing but now it's fixed.
Today I got two new visitors booked and they flying in from Finland and Germany, welcome!
Tomorrow viewing PREs on schedule, look forward to the horses but not so much to the kilometres.. But there is something very exciting for me aswell, something I have been looking forward to alot so I am hoping it will be worth the long trip..
Here's Tina's beauty, the typical spanish horse - pure classy and absolutely beautiful, super movements, correct strong physics, with a super trainability and intelligent personality. Every day it is more difficult to find this type of PRE as the breeding tendency has been to breed the taller horse which unfortunately has made the PRE loose its type and what most are looking for - the typical spanish horse. This horse was on the top list of a olympic rider that was absolutely determined not to get a horse over 165 cm. We owned Festivo at that point and he said absolutely no to that size. He also wanted this type because of the balance and quality of piaffe and passage these horses perform and bigger horses have difficulties with. From the many veterinarian exams we have made over the years we have also seen that these normal sized PREs also have less physical problems and strenght is after all most important when you are looking to buy a horse for breeding and dressage. Also it's becoming hard to find a well kept horse with not only a good level of training, but also a continuity of training. This horse has no big competition record even though he has competed level 4. As training is expensive in Spain adding competitions on top of those monthly expenses makes a big economical effort for the owners.
Congratulations to Tina from Germany!
