Horse Description
This is one super sweet LONG haired gelding, "Botega"
-----this striking fairytale looking boy is double trained to ride AND drive!!! A gorgeous, LONG haired recent imported 4 yr old gelding. Botega is an absolute sweetheart, and completed an ABFP test recently in Holland with extremely high scores in both riding AND driving. Botega has 3 marvelous gaits, and the world is this boy's oyster---he has SOOO much potential, with already a tremendous foundation.
We think this gelding could easily be an FEI contender, because of his willingness and work ethic. In short, he is a quick learner; and wants to please. He is sensitive, not lazy, with excellent movement.
If you are looking for a SUPER LONG HAIRED reasonably priced gelding, with recent vetcheck, and double trained to ride AND drive, that you can ride english OR western, and has been ridden down the road in traffic, Botega is an excellent choice!
Height: 164-166 cm......which translates to 16.1 hands.
We love Botega's kind personality, he is an "in your pocket" kind of horse, that prefers PEOPLE to other horses.
Impeccable pedigree: with a STER mother and MODEL grandmother and a STER great grandmother!!! Botega has a low 1.56% inbreeding.
Easy to ride and drive,showy, Botega is friendly, jet black, MEGA MANE and plush curly feathers, and scored EXTREMELY well in a riding/driving ABFP test with scores as follows:
