Meet my PRE stallion Sendero

Beautiful horse, really stunning.
Any reason for not wearing a hat, out of interest? Rears like that even if trained could be rather dangerous.

Haha, thanks!:D

B-B
The UK might be a better place for him then;)

He covered a more modern type of PRE mares. Here pics of one if them.

It's my own risk.
 
Is it really that political in Holland? Seems such a shame.


So you now have to explain the classes you do do- it doesn't sound like anything we have in the UK. Echo that he would be well received in the UK too. I don't know your corcumstamceswork etc, but might be fun to maybe come over and base yourself for a short period of time to compete!

Yep. Very strict and very political.

If I would start affiliated in Holland, I would have to start from the bottom. B level... which is... Novice level in the UK? First of all, we wouldn't score high. As Sendero has a very striking/collected action. It looks collected, but its not. Thats something they don't want to see at that level.

It would be interesting to base myself in the UK and promote Sendero as a stallion for stud. But looking at my circumstances that would only be a dream till 2013. I'm totally booked for 2012. My studies are quite demanding.:(

Would be interesting if you could bring him over. At novice level over here he'd be classed as too collected too just because of his action though judging is improving.
I think if you came over here, because he's imported he would automatically have points allocated to him meaning that you'd have to start at a much higher level than novice.
by 2013, importing to UK would mean you'd get 435 points so you'd have to start at advanced where i'm sure he'd score highly :D:D
 
Stunning horse. If you get bored of him you can always send him to me, my mare will take excellent care of him ;)
And I love the matching hairstyles for you and your horse:)
 
Absolutely stunning horse, stunning rider, and stunning photography! He really is beyond description!

Agree with those who said you should think of England in 2013 even only for a year or so - it's only a short ferry crossing after all ;) - I can understand about the politics in Holland as I think most countries in Europe are the same, but in the UK the judging really is different and it is not unusual to see TBs and other non-warmbloods do well especially a the lower levels! It's a breath of fresh air :)

Agree with this - I have done low level (up to novice) on an ex-racehorse whose attitude was 'been there, done that' but really hadn't and although he could be tense, the judge always saw through this and comments always reflected the fact that he was obedient, accurate and had very nice natural paces. He was most definetely not a dressage horse!

My current boy is a WB and it is very frustrating that even on a bad day he scores better than my old horse, who was trying so much harder.

Your horse is stunning and would do very well over here:D. How short sighted of the judges in Holland not to realise what is in front of them.
 
He's beautiful.

I loved my PRE - i received mixed responses when competing him. I had some judges get out their cars after my tests to 'meet' him but then some saying he was a nice 'pony' :S

You should deffo come over here - I know someone who would bite your hand of to have a foal by him with her 18hh black WB
 
In the UK you can start at advanced regardless of points! Even if you have no points you can go straight in at advanced. Not sure I'd recommend it though! I know one Iberian specialist recommend Medium as a good place to start for them.

Lovely horse.
 
He's one of the nicest PREs I've seen, I'm more of a luso person normally but he's gorgeous :)

We have a luso stallion who rarely competes but is schooling InterII, the judging is very mixed even in England and some 'get' him whilst others dont
 
TheMule, thanks!

burtie, thats interesting information! That would work perfect for us!

Jenni_, Really? I've heard that people what to cross Friesians, Fjords and all those type of horses with him, but never a WB, that would be an honour!

FrodoBeutlin, thats true. It's only a short crossing and quarantine time isn't that long I think. I think it's really worth thinking about!
