Stunning 9 year old Bay Gelding, 17 hands Andalucian X (partbred PRE). This is a very handsome and talanted horse with a fabulous, trainable temprament. Boris has a truly lovely nature and is wonderful to be around, he has good manners and is easy to do in all ways. Boris has 3 expressive, correct, elastic paces and is very light on his feet for a big horse. Boris was started late (given time to develop) and has been trained to establish correct basics therefor very low milage. Currently competing prelim / novice affiliated Dressage, working more advanced at home. Good lateral ability and super canter. Boris is quick to learn and his breeding gives him a natural talent for the more advanced collected work. Qualified for BD Area Festivals at Prelim and Novice this summer, part qualified for Prelim Regional Finals and qualified for the 2008 National Summer Festival of Champions at Novice (unaffiliated). I have been told he would do very well in showing as a large riding horse and could do Part Bred Iberian classes. Boris now is ready to progress through the grades and reach his full potential with the right partner. He is a serious competition prospect. He is so easy to do at shows, self loading into his trailer, and is well behaved on farm rides, the gallops, beach etc. He will go hacking but prefers company on roads. We have just started jumping, he was keen and shows a nice style over the jump. I am complete novice over jumps and unlikely to progress this discipline any further. There is genuinely only one thing I can say negative about this horse and that is he can be a bit spooky / tense at new venues. However he has never reacted by doing anything dangerous such as bolting, rearing, bucking etc. He is totally safe! By riding him forward and connected you can keep him focused. Genuine reluctant sale due to lack of time and finances to progress this talanted horse. No vices. Sound and in good general health. ***** REALISTICALLY PRICED TO SELL DUE TO THE CURRENT FINANCIAL ECONOMY ******
