GBPRE at Keysoe – Esperanza Dressage
After a few quieter weeks following the breed show it was time to turn our attention to some of the non Andalusian residents of our yard. Grouch Marx is a 10 year old Holsteiner gelding standing at a little 17.3hh! His name does not reflect his character, under saddle and to handle he is a gent.
He is spending some time with us to gain some more competition experience before being offered for sale. After winning his first 2 novices, we thought he was ready to have a go at some Elementarys. Again he was a star and took it like a duck to water, winning both his classes with 69% and 64%. We have now decided it is time for him to be advertised, I think he will make a good schoolmaster type for someone.
We’re starting to think about which horses are going to the GBPRE show to be held at the college, Keysoe on the 1st and 2nd October. It’s the first time we’ve had a qualifier for SICAB (Spanish National Championships held in Sevilla in November), so it’s a very exciting time! We would urge anyone with an interest in the Spanish horse to go along, it will be a great opportunity to see these wonderful horses all together.
