Hurrican
is a 16hh Black PRE gelding, 5 years old by Destinado, home
broken and going well single handed.
I started
his schooling Western style, and that does not mean ponsing
around with a fancy saddle, riding basically English style.
He has
been trained to respond to changes in weight transference
and the voice. However, since watching various Doma Vaquera
displays I have endeavoured to ride him more in the style
of DV.
Whilst
not what you would call a novice ride (i.e. someone heavy
handed and ignorant of how to ride a quality horse). For someone
already riding to an adequate standard of what I call "English
style" and keen to learn the Doma Vaquera style of horsemanship,
he would be the ideal horse to take them as far as their abilities
would allow. He is a clever horse and because he has NOT been
spoiled he takes on board every new task I ask of him.
I've had
him since he was a yearling and he is very dear to me, so
anyone wanting to buy him would need to convince me that he
was going to the very best of homes (hopefully for the rest
of his life). I'm looking for in the region of £6,000.
The reason for this is both his size and colour (very rare
in this country). When ridden he is very "flashy"
with his long wavy mane and because he was cut late in life
he has the crested neck more usually associated with stallions.
For someone with limited facilities or perhaps having to keep
a horse at livery (livery proprietors and other customers
seem for the most part to be paranoid about anything with
balls) a gelding may be the best way of owning a Spanish horse.
