My mom always said she will never buy a grey horse and on a difrent ocasion said she will never buy a thouroughbred... I am currently owning a fleabitten grey thouroughbred. Never say never
Emporio is an extremely lucky horse to have been bought by you. You impress me with your horse skills and how well you care and look after them - thank you for your videos of the horses - it is wonderful.
How can anyone NOT resist an Andalusian? Or being in Spain!😍 Spanish horses are the DREAM breed! They are loyal, caring, sweet, and friendly. Just like all horses ❤️
Funny how life works. I decided to get at cat. I did not want a boy cat. And i did not want an orange cat. Guess what i ended up with?? TWO ORANGE BOYS. They are the Loves of My Life
I didn't want a cat, than I got cat...I didn't want anymore cats, cat got pregnant, I ended up keeping her 2 daughters, I for sure did not want ANY...MORE... CATS I rescued a few barn cats.....one bonded to me and well...I ended up with another cat, I promise no more 🤣
I just got a mare,I didn't want a bay Clydesdale mare (I already have 4 bay Clydesdales and I was looking for a paint ) I got 2 bay Clydesdale mares,both twins,their awesome tho
Matt your videos are really informative. You are definitely a natural horse man! Your horses are so beautiful and you obviously take exceptional care of them. God Bless you and your amazing horses 🙏
When I moved to where I currently live 13 years ago, there was a horse we would drive by on the way to my aunt's house. That horse was black when we first saw it. Over the years, it slowly got lighter and lighter as it got older. Now, that horse is snow white when it isn't pink with red dirt it likes to roll in. Those people only have that horse and a donkey. Some gray horses get lighter every year, some get lighter and darker, and some stay the same. I've had two start out black and turn almost white in at around 10 years of age. It can take a while for the change to finish.
They are the best but like Matt said they have problems with cancer also....alot of my greys have gotten cancer even if they were inside... but great horses and I find that their pretty fast horses
He is literally every equestrian when buying a horse...every person I know has said no to a certain colour horse and then ends up buying that colour horse. I said no to chestnuts and what do I have, nothing but chestnuts
That's so relatable haha, chestnuts are my least favourite horse colour, but somehow all of my three horses "ended up" being chestnut. And also very off-topic, but Jonghyun is shining on your profile picture, like wow.
@@malumadi5534 gotta say I’ve learned to love a chestnut. I’m surprised someone recognizes who my profile picture is! I haven’t changed it in years and you might be the first person to say something!
This horse is a lovely mover!! I have watched several video's of your search for a Stallion and watched the horses you tried out under saddle and none of them were as nice as this horse!! I am just an everyday person who has NO professional riding experience at all or shows etc. I live in a small town of Alaska and all my horses were just grade horses and the only riding I am interested in is trail riding. But I greatly admire quality animals in horses and dogs and being a show dog owner for many years.. I know a good animal when I see one. I was excited and thrilled to see this horse move! oh my goodness.. he floated in the rear and the effortless propulsion of his gait was so beautiful to watch!! Congrats on a great purchase!
wow! this is crazy. i could actually feel Emporio’s presence and charisma through the screen! we can tell that he’s a really sweet boy. i can’t wait to see his progression! congrats Matt :)
You are a very fortunate young man. This opportunity to buy this young stallion will be very likely your best decision ever in your horse career! He will give you everything and be a gentleman on top of it if you foster that in him. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
Wow I had the sams experience when I was finding my horse. He's was everything I wasn't looking for but ended up being the most perfect. I dont know what I would do without him. Im super excited for you!
Perfection! You found your soul mate. The two of you together look as one with unlimited potential. Enjoy Emporio. He was worth the wait!! I feel this horse will always take good care of you. Treat him well, he is special, very much so.
Wow! It's my dream to own a PRE!! Loved them since 2005 when I had dressage lessons on several Spanish stallions, they are a delight and such powerhouses! So glad youtube recommended this video, such fun! New sub here :)
I'm so happy for you! Everytime you shared a horse not working out I hated it for you. You were so patient and I think you definitely made the right choice!
Maria Tuominen That's supposed to mean that he doesn't post racist stuff on the internet. Also Matt actually has a talent next to looking pretty in pictures
I really respect what you said about being mindful when it comes to his training, and not taking advantage - even unintentionally - of this horse’s willingness to give 110%. Also, it’s interesting that the horse you ended up with was outside your search parameters on all counts. Can’t always get what you want, but you get what you need. #therollingstones You two will make a good team.
So Happy For You!!!! Its a beautiful feeling when you find a calm smart AND willing horse with a HUGE future in front of him. I can't wait to watch you both grow together! What a great adventure!
Wow, Emporio looks like a really promising young horse, his character seems amazing! Also, i love the way you treat this, wanting a vet check to make sure he is fit for your purpose, i feel like not many people think about that anymore, they just want any horse to work like they want it to...
I get what you mean but at the same time when buying a very cheap horse then a vet check might actually be more expensive. However what i have seen from some sellers is that they pay for the check there are any problems 😊
@@LadyPinkie13 But i'd never buy a horse without a vet check. when the horse is cheap and you don't do the vet check and you got bad luck, you might put all the money that you saved on the vet check into the horses medical bills and maybe even twice or ten times the amount the check wouldve costed... i don't know about that, i haven't ever bought a horse yet, but that sounds great :)
I bought my neighbor's two horses two days before christmas. Played almost nothing because they wanted them gone. I didn't bother with a vet check because I've known the older mare for years and the 18 month old since she was a foal. The two of them haven't shown any signs of anything bad. The baby wasn't even halter broke when I got them and the mare hadn't been ridden in 6 years, so they are 2 of my three projects. The third is an aqha Palomino filly. She came to me in Christmas day. Halter broke, but terrified of people. Barely 13 hands, foundation bred, now a 3 year old. She scrawny, but has shocking chest muscles for how inserted she was. The person I got her from had only had her for a few weeks. She was the same as wild, so we didn't want to stress her more with a vet check. She looks and acts perfectly sound, but is super skittish. She is thankfully warming up to me. My point is that some situations make a vet check hard or unnecessary. I knew the neighbor's horses and the little palomino was feral. I would get a vet check if buying a well handled horse from a stranger, but these three were cases were I could go without. If the Palomino doesn't ever make a riding horse, she has good breeding and I have a well bred aqha cremello stallion I could breed her to.
A stunning horse. I think lots of gentle hacking out in the countryside- over uneven ground will help him gain confidence with his feet and simply lengthen across his neck and back.
Beautiful horse. Congrats. Love the name as well. Hope you will have am an amazing journey with him. Enjoy the time with him and e everything you going to learn together. Greetings from a German Equestrian Girl 🇩🇪 living in South Africa 🇿🇦
I would love just simple training videos of you riding Emporio, really love just watching you ride dressage and you don’t really have any videos like that out. Same even with Chase! Best wishes x
I fell in love with PRE's 20 years ago, have had 4 but only have a 1/2 Andalusian, 1/2 warmblood now (perfect for Dressage). Wonderful horses, loyal, loving and so willing to please. Congrats on your horse and I am really enjoying your videos.
Congrats! He's beautiful! Definitely much better behaved than my stallion. Mine is a 16 Cremello quarter horse. Really quiet, but just wants to walk. Yours looks like he enjoys working. Hope he does well for you! I understand the concern for cancer with a gray. I have a tb in her early teens that has tumors in both sides of her neck. She isn't broke and basically lives a happy life getting fed and petted in the pasture. I also had a gray th tb that lived to 25 and never got one, so it could go either way. Shelley didn't get here until she was around 9. However it goes, it looks like you'll have an awesome partner for years to come. I love the dapples on him. Hope he turns out how you want him to.
Your a lovely young man who is sensible know what you want in life works hard and love your horses ,I love to follow you ,the videos are great ,how about seeing Chase again also emporio is beautiful
He looks amazing, good luck with him! As a tip I would recommend letting your vet in the Netherlands look at the report including the X-rays though, if you have all the flexions on video them too, just to be sure.
The X-Ray Conditions were terrible. Where was the X-Ray protective clothing? This is so important! The Vet should be more careful about that. I'm a Vet assistant and we would never work without our protecting clothes. But Emporio ist very beautiful🔥 😊✨
Drew Propps, yes regulations they followed, they x-rayed his legs, they blood tested, they tested his gait, what's so shady about it? They left nothing out about the horse and didn't hide anything either. I was just pointing out that not every area can get the best of vet care some might expect elsewhere.
Wonderful! I would like to see you live out your dreams. It can be hard to live up to what you say and I hope you are able to keep it up. Horses are so much part a part of the heart. Live big and stay big! Bob.
It's been a year, and I'm so happy for you and Emporio - he's becoming your dream horse and he has a wonderful home, owner and a full and interesting life ! He is such a handsome and sweet boy . It looks like he gives you his all and he just keeps improving. Congratulations, for you both !
Thank you so much for sharing your journey Matt, I also really liked the other horses you were considering but this guy is a beauty! I love your diligence and the thoroughness that brought you here to finding the right fit. I hope to see more of what you guys can do together. Many blessings to you both.
I really like how you take into consideration his age and breed in his training and not pushing him really great to see, and he is GORGEOUS!!!, Congratulations 😉
I kinda think he’s really young. Three years is when I start saddle training but he’s already trained very well. Not calling abuse or anything! Just saying I think the horse is a little to young to be ridden like that, but hey. Every horse is different.
Alanna McCarthy I don’t think this level of training is unrealistic for a year. He only did W/T/C and wasn’t really bending, was a bit behind the vertical. Just very desensitized I think.
I thought he was four. My apologies. Definitely would have wanted to know all of his history and when exactly they started breaking him. I also wouldn’t have had a local vet do a vet check. They could be biased.
@@kenzieshelley4172 Well, I think he wasn't just a bit behind the vertical. I was for sure behind the vertical. And that is for me a no go... He is a beautiful horse with wonderful movements there is no room for talking. But for me a four year old horse hasn't already to be ridden.
SemUchiha95 I was trying to be generous. I think he was only behind the vertical because of Matt possibly being heavy handed having not been on him before. Though I would be worried about him having a curling issue. I wouldn’t purchase something that young myself, but that’s just me.
@@kenzieshelley4172 I also thought that Matt probably was worried a little the first time. Because the second time it was already a lot better. But when the other guy first got on, I already cringed... But I know that it's pretty common in the Spanish tradition... sadly...
Matt--I am so excited for you and the horse you purchased in this video. He is magnificent. He moves so well and looked like a fun horse to ride, especially for a young horse. I must say that I am beyond impressed with your way of thinking and your plan for training Emporio. Taking your time, not pushing him at such a young age I think is the best way of going. Your attitude is so refreshing and in the end you will have such a friendship and bond with him that will last his lifetime. So as a former rider and horse lover, myself, I say way to go buddy!!! I'm very proud of you!! You and Emporio will go a long way together!!
Hello Matt congratulations on the most beautiful Stallion. Listen to your GUT . Remember you do Know what your talking about. The Leg wrap Coming undone and him not reacting shows you His intelligence. Enough said . He’s a lucky Horse too win the the human lottery for love And compassion. I’m so happy for you. Wishing You an incredible 2019 . Thanks for posting
Wow, Matt, Congratulations!! Emporio is gorgeous, phenomenal movement and the temper, for a three year old Stallion is just amazing. You got so lucky with him. I can’t wait to see what you two accomplish!! ❤️
It sounds like he has the character a andalusian should have. Calm, workable and intelligent. He also has very active rear legs wich can be a struggle for a lot of andalusians. It is a beautiful horse and you rode him real Nice and calm. Good luck with him and enjoy this new 'project'
Really lovely looking young horse. Every video the horse looked better and better. You have really nice plan for young horse like this. Sometimes faith just brings something you definately did not want to you and you are pleasantly surpriced!
It really depends on the horse, I think that the earliest they can be started, and normally are, is about three as the bones on most horses are okay for extremely light work at that point. I know people who have started light training then and had wonderful horses, but I totally see your point! :) Personally I'm helping my little rescue Arab gain his weight back before I start up riding training again, he's obviously had some training but he needs to be fully well before I consider more than sitting on him and letting him walk around, he's roughly five, don't know for sure as he's a little rescue from an auction!
@@a.jaydeb.7441 Emporio(?) is only three and should only be walking under saddle, not to mention how far behind vertical he is.. it really worries me honestly.
Wow, he is a gorgeous horse!! All the luck and a huge congratulations on the new member of your family!! I am a firm believer in something that’s meant to be falling into place with absolutely no struggles or stress!! This was a perfect example! He was meant to be yours. I can’t wait to see him and Chase meet for the first time!!
Pura raza Espanola. P.R.E Andalusian is supossably a mixed breed or without stud papers. :) I worked at a stable with only that breed, I used to call them Andalusians, they near killed me for that as they aren't purebreds and these are. 😅 Don't even know if the info is worth anything to you, just if any people from Spain gives you a hard time here is why 😅. They are magnificent when it comes to temper and movements, I am surprised they are not used more in dressage. They have big personas and becomes your best friend fast. So despite I am having a beef with the previous place I rode at, I can definitely agree with you when it comes to their temper and hearts. :)
Omg.. he is Really amazing!! That kind of look 😍😲 wow.. and how sweet you are talking about him - like a boy on Christmas day 😁👏 that is what horses do to us - they melt our heart😍❤
Absolutely stunning horse - moves beautifully with a great mind. As they say in Alberta, Canada - this horse has heart! You will both have a wonderful journey together!
Wonderful choice, he looks like he's going to be a great horse. Great movement and disposition! I've wanted a PRE forever, I'm very jealous, lol! Congrats!
@@lynnbelkom6502 doesn't mean it's the right or healthy thing to do. Spanish riders are not well known for their care for the horses well-being (there are exceptions)! There are no excuses for riding a horse younger then 5.
Hey Matt, love your station. I have an andalusian out of domino. The andalusian has such personality, intelligence, kindness, and powerful spunky presence. You, by the way, are an awesome horseman! From Texas.
Oh my lord Matt is collecting horses like how Ash collects his pokemons o_o *this is a comedic comment :P only love for Matt P.S congrats on your new horse
He's lovely Matt. I bought an 8 year old Andalusian mare in Australia only two months ago. We are taking our time to get to know each other and build trust. I too fell in love with the breed after spending a week riding in Spain. See if you can get to the riding school in Jerez. It bought tears to my eyes seeing these beautiful creatures being fully present and enjoying the show as much as the audience.
Oh wow Matt, he is absolutely gorgeous. And in such good hands with you as his owner. I can’t wait to follow his progress ☺️

So happy for you. Stay sensitive riding him as you said he's so young and should not experience pain❤❤
He probably knows that
Since he's a stallion I wouldn't be surprised if he knew what pain was already. Stallions are very hard to keep and most go to pain to keep them.
No horse should experience pain no animal should experience pain for that matter

Hope he does well for you! I understand the concern for cancer with a gray. I have a tb in her early teens that has tumors in both sides of her neck. She isn't broke and basically lives a happy life getting fed and petted in the pasture. I also had a gray th tb that lived to 25 and never got one, so it could go either way. Shelley didn't get here until she was around 9. However it goes, it looks like you'll have an awesome partner for years to come. I love the dapples on him. Hope he turns out how you want him to.
Wow.... he’s gorgeous
Looks like the stallion I breed my mare with. Very charming!!
What a fabulous boy!!! Congratulations 🎉🎈 you’re now the caretaker of this beautiful horse and I’m convinced you’ll a brilliant job!
“No greys” *buys Sureno*
Your a lovely young man who is sensible know what you want in life works hard and love your horses ,I love to follow you ,the videos are great ,how about seeing Chase again also emporio is beautiful
He looks amazing, good luck with him!
As a tip I would recommend letting your vet in the Netherlands look at the report including the X-rays though, if you have all the flexions on video them too, just to be sure.
I'm so happy for you and your new horse. How exciting! Looking forward to getting to know him. Enjoy your videos very much. Jesse too!!!
The X-Ray Conditions were terrible. Where was the X-Ray protective clothing? This is so important! The Vet should be more careful about that.
I'm a Vet assistant and we would never work without our protecting clothes.
But Emporio ist very beautiful🔥 😊✨
callme blondra that’s what I was thinking too
As a professional in the equestrian world, everything about this situation is sketchy as hell.
But what do we know of the availability of such supplies?
A lot of countries don’t have access to the best of vet supplies.
Demonicsnow H. Spain has OSHA. Where you have OSHA, you have regulations. Protection is very basic.
Drew Propps, yes regulations they followed, they x-rayed his legs, they blood tested, they tested his gait, what's so shady about it? They left nothing out about the horse and didn't hide anything either. I was just pointing out that not every area can get the best of vet care some might expect elsewhere.
Wonderful! I would like to see you live out your dreams. It can be hard to live up to what you say and I hope you are able to keep it up. Horses are so much part a part of the heart. Live big and stay big! Bob.
He is so beautiful😍😍
Who? Emporio or Matt? ;)

It's been a year, and I'm so happy for you and Emporio - he's becoming your dream horse and he has a wonderful home, owner and a full and interesting life ! He is such a handsome and sweet boy . It looks like he gives you his all and he just keeps improving. Congratulations, for you both !
He's so beautiful 😍 can you film a "normal" day in your life, like from the morning to the evening :) if you want to ofc! 😅😉
Chill Trash yesss
Thank you so much for sharing your journey Matt, I also really liked the other horses you were considering but this guy is a beauty! I love your diligence and the thoroughness that brought you here to finding the right fit. I hope to see more of what you guys can do together. Many blessings to you both.
Whats having money like?
Right? All I heard this entire video was “$$$$$$” lol
@@coastalcoyote I hope everything goes well. Praying for you and your pup, best wishes 💜
Lisabet ramsey okay and? It’s not like he hasn’t worked for it.
@@coastalcoyote please do everything for him life is the most precious
@@coastalcoyote does ur family help u?
I really like how you take into consideration his age and breed in his training and not pushing him really great to see, and he is GORGEOUS!!!, Congratulations 😉
I kinda think he’s really young. Three years is when I start saddle training but he’s already trained very well. Not calling abuse or anything! Just saying I think the horse is a little to young to be ridden like that, but hey. Every horse is different.
Alanna McCarthy I don’t think this level of training is unrealistic for a year. He only did W/T/C and wasn’t really bending, was a bit behind the vertical. Just very desensitized I think.
I thought he was four. My apologies. Definitely would have wanted to know all of his history and when exactly they started breaking him. I also wouldn’t have had a local vet do a vet check. They could be biased.
@@kenzieshelley4172 Well, I think he wasn't just a bit behind the vertical. I was for sure behind the vertical. And that is for me a no go...
He is a beautiful horse with wonderful movements there is no room for talking. But for me a four year old horse hasn't already to be ridden.
SemUchiha95 I was trying to be generous. I think he was only behind the vertical because of Matt possibly being heavy handed having not been on him before. Though I would be worried about him having a curling issue. I wouldn’t purchase something that young myself, but that’s just me.
@@kenzieshelley4172 I also thought that Matt probably was worried a little the first time. Because the second time it was already a lot better. But when the other guy first got on, I already cringed... But I know that it's pretty common in the Spanish tradition... sadly...
Matt--I am so excited for you and the horse you purchased in this video. He is magnificent. He moves so well and looked like a fun horse to ride, especially for a young horse. I must say that I am beyond impressed with your way of thinking and your plan for training Emporio. Taking your time, not pushing him at such a young age I think is the best way of going. Your attitude is so refreshing and in the end you will have such a friendship and bond with him that will last his lifetime. So as a former rider and horse lover, myself, I say way to go buddy!!! I'm very proud of you!! You and Emporio will go a long way together!!
😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭 I'm so jealous!!! He is so gorgeous and a beautiful mover!! You're so lucky!
Emporio is so beautiful! He has such great movement and flexibility for such a young horse. So excited to see the places you two go!
Awww so cute! 🐴💜
Hello Matt congratulations on the most beautiful
Stallion. Listen to your GUT . Remember you do
Know what your talking about. The Leg wrap
Coming undone and him not reacting shows you
His intelligence. Enough said . He’s a lucky
Horse too win the the human lottery for love
And compassion. I’m so happy for you. Wishing
You an incredible 2019 . Thanks for posting
matt rides him so much better than the other rider. His head set looked so much more natural in the second ride
Congratulations on the new horse. Can't wait to see more videos with him. He is incredibly beautiful
Greys are my favorite since I was a kid. Three of my best horses where grey.
Wow, what a lucky horse! I really like how your not trying to rush him or push him into anything to quickly, as he is so young:) He will be amazing!
Liebe deine Videos du bist so inspirierend.
miss you uhhh hallo deutscher Mitfan 👋🏼😂❤️
Deutsche! Hallo 🌚😂❤🙋
Hallo

Wow, Matt, Congratulations!! Emporio is gorgeous, phenomenal movement and the temper, for a three year old Stallion is just amazing. You got so lucky with him. I can’t wait to see what you two accomplish!! ❤️
It sounds like he has the character a andalusian should have. Calm, workable and intelligent. He also has very active rear legs wich can be a struggle for a lot of andalusians. It is a beautiful horse and you rode him real Nice and calm. Good luck with him and enjoy this new 'project'
Really lovely looking young horse. Every video the horse looked better and better. You have really nice plan for young horse like this.
Sometimes faith just brings something you definately did not want to you and you are pleasantly surpriced!
what a beautiful horse, but i wish horses would start getting trained a bit later because of the bones
I started the training with my friesian and she was 6 . Now she is 10.
@@EquineLiberties that's amazing 😍
@@NightshadeGoddess I started very calm. This is very importend
It really depends on the horse, I think that the earliest they can be started, and normally are, is about three as the bones on most horses are okay for extremely light work at that point. I know people who have started light training then and had wonderful horses, but I totally see your point! :) Personally I'm helping my little rescue Arab gain his weight back before I start up riding training again, he's obviously had some training but he needs to be fully well before I consider more than sitting on him and letting him walk around, he's roughly five, don't know for sure as he's a little rescue from an auction!
@@a.jaydeb.7441 Emporio(?) is only three and should only be walking under saddle, not to mention how far behind vertical he is.. it really worries me honestly.
Wow, he is a gorgeous horse!! All the luck and a huge congratulations on the new member of your family!! I am a firm believer in something that’s meant to be falling into place with absolutely no struggles or stress!! This was a perfect example! He was meant to be yours. I can’t wait to see him and Chase meet for the first time!!
Pura raza Espanola. P.R.E Andalusian is supossably a mixed breed or without stud papers. :) I worked at a stable with only that breed, I used to call them Andalusians, they near killed me for that as they aren't purebreds and these are. 😅 Don't even know if the info is worth anything to you, just if any people from Spain gives you a hard time here is why 😅.
They are magnificent when it comes to temper and movements, I am surprised they are not used more in dressage.
They have big personas and becomes your best friend fast. So despite I am having a beef with the previous place I rode at, I can definitely agree with you when it comes to their temper and hearts. :)
Omg.. he is Really amazing!! That kind of look 😍😲 wow.. and how sweet you are talking about him - like a boy on Christmas day 😁👏 that is what horses do to us - they melt our heart😍❤
You sound like me explaining what kinda man I'm looking for on dating scene 😂😂
Absolutely stunning horse - moves beautifully with a great mind. As they say in Alberta, Canada - this horse has heart! You will both have a wonderful journey together!
Awwwww he’s gorgeous, such a chilled stallion xx
Wonderful choice, he looks like he's going to be a great horse. Great movement and disposition! I've wanted a PRE forever, I'm very jealous, lol! Congrats!
He's so gorgeous! You really seem to get the best horses!!!
OMG!! His trot was B-E-A-UTIFUL!! How he holds his head and rises his knees!!🐎😍😍😍
Isn't he a bit young to be already trained like this? Pre are late developed if I'm not mistaking.
1982mizzimuzzi he is late in his 4 almost 5. Vet cleared him so it is ok.
For his breed its normal they get trained pretty young. I trained at a stable in spain and they explained that this is normal for pre
@@lynnbelkom6502 doesn't mean it's the right or healthy thing to do. Spanish riders are not well known for their care for the horses well-being (there are exceptions)! There are no excuses for riding a horse younger then 5.
He is absolutely stunning! Beautiful coat,lovely scattered speckles,fading socks and that bald marking on his face! Amazing.
He’s gorgeous 😍 so no showjumper or are you getting another one? 😂
Hey Matt, love your station. I have an andalusian out of domino. The andalusian has such personality, intelligence, kindness, and powerful spunky presence. You, by the way, are an awesome horseman! From Texas.
His movements are soooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍
It is a delight to follow you. I appreciate how down to earth you are ( must be the Australian influence in you!!)
Stay nice, stay cool

Oh my lord Matt is collecting horses like how Ash collects his pokemons o_o
*this is a comedic comment :P only love for Matt
P.S congrats on your new horse
What an absolutely gorgeous Stallion! He moves beautifully & he so calm & well behaved. You made a great choice.

He's lovely Matt. I bought an 8 year old Andalusian mare in Australia only two months ago. We are taking our time to get to know each other and build trust. I too fell in love with the breed after spending a week riding in Spain. See if you can get to the riding school in Jerez. It bought tears to my eyes seeing these beautiful creatures being fully present and enjoying the show as much as the audience.
Omg he‘s beautiful :3 He’s really a dream horse \o.o/ Grüße aus Deutschland
