Introducing Lindeza (lin-day-za)

[Barlow]

Congratulations! So pleased it all worked out - these things often have a weird way of doing so!
She must be a relation of my old PRE - he was also a grandson of Jardineiro.
I’m afraid I went to the dark side though and now have a PSL!

 

[Cortez]

Oh I use those for riding out .

 

[cobgoblin]

You need a nice Spanish hat ycbm..

Oh gods no! A proper Spanish hat is a thing of great craftsmanship & beauty.

I haven't got the hair to carry it off ?

....or you could get a few more and put together your own "cobra" of mares....they are shown this way, all joined together by the neck collars, walking & turning as one. There's a great art and pride in training and presenting the mares of the stud together. The sound of the bells takes me straight back to Spain....

It was the worst I could find!

I have found a Spanish tandem saddle though, which amused me..

No self respecting Spanish Senora would go about like that! I'll find a pic....

Stick a fake bun on.

 

[Cortez]

This is more the style...

 

[ycbm]

Have you finished ????



I've ridden her on my own today. I had to move the steps about six times, but when she settled she stood like a rock for me to get on. She was more nervous than yesterday, when she was just banjaxed by the move, but she was a good girl and didn't do anything silly.

I changed her bit from the lozenge recommended to a straight bar and she was a lot more settled in her mouth. I'm going to try her in Ludo's Happy Tongue Bomber tomorrow.

I managed to get her to eat about half a feed, and the pair grudgingly accepted that straw was edible when they were starving ? The straw is for her, Ludo will need more bucket food but that's easy.

She is the sweetest creature. I can't believe my luck.

[cobgoblin]

You'll need the Spanish riding boots too.

Deza clones!

She's gone to Deeza, by the way, Dayza was too hard sounding for such a softy.

Daisy is a cow's name ?

.

 

[Cortez]

I'll stop bombing your thread now, but my Spanish boots are the most comfortable thing to ride in ever. And Deeza is a nice sounding name (clones? Yes, she's very typey ).

I'm really pleased to hear you say that she's typey, because there was no point in me buying Spanish if it wasn't typically Spanish. Her face is slightly convex, too, so I have no idea why she was graded as having a straight face at four, because its not straight at seven.

[Cortez]

Do you know her sire? Because I may have a picture....

 

[ycbm]

Alto Coronel. This is him. Would love to see your pic, did you meet him in person?

 

[DabDab]

Wow, I would have bought her on the strength of the sire alone. He is drop dead

 

[Cortez]

Yep, here is is again: he was our demo horse when I did the PRE judges training course a few years ago (at the place you bought her from).

 

[ycbm]

Fantastic! Thankyou. I'm glad she didn't get dad's socks, though.

 

[ycbm]

She's very like him, she moves like that too

.

 

[Cortez]

Fantastic! Thankyou. I'm glad she didn't get dad's socks, though.

Me too: the Spanish don't like any white on their horses, and neither do I I wasn't mad about him until he moved....then I "got" him. He's a really kind horse too.

View attachment 48922 This is nice and subtle .......(but it's Portuguese).

Dear Lord! I thought this was a horse forum, not an S&M one! ??

 

[splashgirl45]

so pleased for you ycbm, it was meant to be after such heartache....have fun with her and keep the pics coming

 

[SEL]

She's stunning! Obviously meant to be after all your heart ache

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Wow, what a great story - totally meant to be.

Can't wait to watch your updates.

She's beautiful.

 

[ycbm]

She has come in every morning shaking like a leaf, poor girlie. I don't think she's cold, it seems to be nerves, and she calms down after she has been handled.

I rode her again and she is taking less each time to stand still for the mounting block. It was raining and she was a bit 'up' and I was in two minds but I told myself just to get on with it and she was fine. She wanted to trot but accepted being told to walk, and when we did trot her legs were going everywhere! She hasn't got any idea of staying on a track or even on a straight line, she really is just backed.

I love her. I think she is absolutely beautiful. I couldn't see it when I bought her on Saturday, I just saw a nervous horse who could throw me a bunch of problems, but I can now. She's wonderful, a dream come true.

.

 

[Cinnamontoast]

I'm really looking forward to seeing her progress, she sounds amazing and sweet.

 

[PurBee]

Great news you found more than you were looking for...she’s also a very lucky horse to have a home with you.
She looks uncannily like my arabxwelsh d mare from the full body pic.
looking forward to hearing of your adventures and pics!?

 

[Cortez]

I feel that you are succumbing to the Spanish magic Once you've found the key, they learn like lightning, turn themselves inside out to please, get upset if they can't figure out what you want, and always try, try, try. And of course they are astoundingly beautiful, made in the likeness of angels.......
