Been a while since posted any recent pics of my little spanish pony so thought id share a few with you guys tonight as a bit bored and other half watching the football;-) Any comments on condition, confirmation etc more than welcome, has been it of a battle to keep weight on him this winter tbh, thnk was a bit of a culture shock after coming over from spain 9 months ago!

Introducing Kirico my 6 yo, PRE stallion

Bit of a bad hair day in this one:-D
 
He's horrible, how can you be seen with a horse as ugly as that! he must be sent to me asap to spare you the shame... you no longer have to be seem with him :P





just incase you don't know i'm joking he's gorgeous!!!
 
He's an Ovelar! What's he like? What do you do with him?

I briefly worked with a lady who imported Ovelars (amongst others) and fell in love with one VERY hot little boy and a VERY quirky one - they seemed to be right little characters, and far too intelligent!

I agree with all the other comments - he looks lovely and his condition looks great :)
 
For one thing, he's exceptionally ugly and in extremely poor condition. He is clearly very stressed and unhappy with hardly any hay and he is very worried about the fact that he has a few hairs out of place. :p ;) :D :D :D

The above issues are easily resolved by delivering him to my house within the next 3 hours and accepting £1 so ownership can be effectively transferred. :D:D:D

i was just thinking the exact same thing :-D
 
He's beautiful and looks like he knows it!

As the others have said- what do you do with him, how tall is he etc? Want to know more!
 
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments, he really is a sweetie pie and im sooooo lucky to own him, have to pinch myself some days to make sure hes real:D. He doesnt behave like a young stallion at all either, sometimes i have to remind myself as you can just go in the stable with him loose and groom him, muck out or do whatever you like really, even to ride hes unbelievably level headed and easy, you could honestly put a novice the way he is 99% of the time. Hes my first spanish horse, and stallion although am more than aware how hot they can be, and although even Kirico can have his momentary lapses he can also have 2 weeks off and just go out in the school calm, willing and eager and willing to work like any other day.
He's 15.2hh i think, and should hopefully fill out a bit more as he s only 6 this year and PRE's are known for maturing late, he lost a bit of weight the first 6 months i had him and i much prefer him as a chunky monkey!
My aim was to do mostly dressage and a bit of showing with him, although got my first proper taste of showing last year and absolutely loved it, and so did he and of course took it all in his stride:) Will probably aim to do some more local dressage comps in the autumn, but with a lack of tramnsport and the fact he's still only a big baby am well aware dont want to push him to much too soon. So were both just happy having fun on the showing circuit for the time being, and with several firsts and other high placings in our first season could be where his talent lies anyway:D

Dont have many ridden pics but heres a couple from last years breed show, where he came overall 4th against some very tough competition. Was obviously a very proud mummy on that particular day as neither of us knew what we were doing!

Wow, if you painted a star on him he'd be the spitting image of my rising 6 PRE! Though he was gelded when I bought him :D How is he bred? Mine is mostly Yeguada Militar lines (though I only worked that out last week!)
