Free Trot
Trot on the off-diagonal

The makings of an Extended trot rarely found in a Pure Spanish Horse

Driving hocks & Supreme elevation - Everything that is good.
Not often do you see this kind of movement, let alone capture it in a still photo

A horse with natural up-hill drive
The kind of impulsion that all riders dream of

Hock action to be admired

Relaxed, controlled & rounded canter
Carriage under saddle identical to natural movement at liberty

Free Canter
Almost identical to the horse's outline, under saddle, with a rider on him

Balance beyond compare - A real picture
Is he stopping, turning or simply moving to a well controlled 3 time beat ?

Long & Low - Rarely is this "most desirable outline" seen in an untrained youngster.

This picture captures EVERY ASPECT of a horse using itself correctly, whilst at liberty. The slightly rounded uphill form, is initiated by correct hoof placement, strong hindlegs with sound joints, clean tendons & ripling muscle. Enabling an unobstructed flow of energy into speed & power

Riders train for years to achieve this wonderful outline,because it provides the perfect basis for developing outstanding performance horses

Elegance & Grace
"Floating on Air" Literally

What length of stride!
Look at the shouder extension & the scope of  this horse

Shown at a strong canter verging on gallop, this is another picture confirming the sound, clean movement of one superb colt

The lovely rounded frame of a honest & giving horse

An intelligent horse with natural "Look at Me" presence

Excellent collection with elevated knee action
NB. How straight this horses legs & movement are!

(A common fault of poorly bred Andalusians is off-set canons & twisted fetlocks or deviated movement from the knee or fetlock joint. These lead to deteriorating joints, stiff movement, reduced performance & early retirement)

Forward, rounded movement, soft & relaxed on the bit
NB. The clean unobstructed movement from the shoulder to the hoof & it's placement. There is no better example

(In centuries past Andalusians were bred as a War Horses. To serve this purpose their original design included a rounded, flinging motion from the shoulder, well utilised in dressage training & battle. This exaggerated shoulder action is nolonger considered ideal & a straight forward, long reaching shoulder extension is now much preferred.)

A nice responsive hassle free ride
A willing worker, safe & reliable

Mr. Reliable, even whilst being broken to saddle
The rider feels completely safe & at ease

From free flowing canter straight into a soft mouthed rein-back

Great balanced through the hind-quarters with wonderful flexibility through the neck & shoulders

A soft supple horse, bending through the body
Moving away from the leg on the circle

2007 picture showing him in late winter coat after a bath
Just hooked to a tree near the house for this photo

Another photo showing just how correct this horse is in his legs & his action
His movement is superb from every angle

It's not often you get to see a horse from behind & that it stands square
Take a good look at this picture & the horses leg placement
When you become aware that he is only a late 3 - early 4 year old & has been given no work to build muscle. The skeletal structure is obviously perfect

Seen here feeding with the Chooks
He has a very friendly nature with people & animals alike

As a testament to this colt's exceptional nature, he is seen here socialising with 3 Miniature Colts that regularly come over to the fence to play

Whispering sweet nothings to his first lady love
Like his father before him, this colt is a complete & utter gentleman when it comes to breeding mares. He has both hand served & run with a mare

Ideal for someone wanting their first stallion
If you are an experienced rider but never had a chance to handled a colt or stallion, you'll have nothing but fun with this horse

His dad's manners were so good most people thought he was a gelding & this guy will be exactly the same

Just one last picture to show how much of a cutie-pie this horse is - cuddled-up in his hay on an Autumn day
