Full on week

Hi again after 1000000 km, or something like that. Javier - the-man-that-never-get-lost was lost three times somewhere on the spanish plains, not very relaxing for him. Luckily a horsewoman whose name is Anna, including her mother had fun even so. In the car behind we had the good rider that also is a olympic rider with her husband, they were politely understanding and kept smiling with their exhausted faces. We saw good horses for both and they now had one each pinned down, Anna's from the day before.

Next day team-Anna had a rest in the spahotel and we went with the others to see more handpicked horses. One down. A very, very exclusive and showmerited PRE stud stallion PSG level, totally impressive to look at moving and standing, well within the race yet super mover for dressage, the type of PRE to believe in for international dressage.

The young one that cooperatively traveled to our stables we spotted before the SICAB, we were impressed as he is totally unique for movement, size and composition and picked him for this client. PRE 3 going 4 years doing flying changes, half pass in trot and canter, perfect spanish walk and a super extended trot and most importantly for a serious dressage rider - flying gaits. At one point we thought he was also going to gallop backwards but instead he did a tempi-four attempt. Only a very talented horse can perform these movements with such balance and easiness, it is not about making him do it, it is totally natural and easy for him as his body is so correctly built. He is a very important representative for the PRE race. Olympic-eyes focused, good sign. The next hour blood was drawn and the piroresult was negative and vetcheck tomorrow. It would probably be more intelligent to buy this horse than to sell it...
We finished the day and kindly olympic rider helped me with Start which was pure inspiration to me and Start looked totally surprised about the work he had to do, so much! I was told we could to win a Small Tour which of course was very encouraging to hear.
Today team-Anna went home with their horse-notes, all their shopping, olive trees etc etc. We saw the young-flying-talent again in the morning. Olympic-husband testride that went well, both rider and horse seemed to like the spanish walk but it was also a matter of not finding the stop-the-spanish-walk-button.. has to do some improvement there..

Then it was Donoso's turn to get his body moving supple and doing the changes when he was told to. Very helpful excercises, D is clever, gets it with one correction, help was super, thank you!
