Daniel was imported from Malaga in February 2007 as a 3 year old. He was originally bred for the bull ring and had indeed been broken in and used to fight bulls, leaving him terrified of any other animals and of being ridden. He had a deep rooted fear of humans and could not trust, as well as physical and mental scars
With the help of the professionals I have around me he now trusts people and is no longer fearful of other horses and seems to enjoys being ridden and working. We have come through some really difficult issues but Daniel has proven time and again that he is a very special boy trying his very hardest to do as asked, although he can through toys across the room when he is in the mood to do so. He is showing great promise for the dressage arena, he has elastic athletic paces, a perfect easy ground covering canter and intelligence. We are bringing him on slowly to produce a top quality dressage horse. He is now being competed at the high end of Novice and lower end of Elementary
Daniel is the clown and escape artist of the yard, finding different "toys" to amuse himself and no doubt the other equines, throwing his treat ball at unsuspecting passers by is a trick he finds most amusing and helpful as he usually gets it back with more treats in it. He is a lovable rouge who has a cheeky sense of humor. He is an absolute dream horse, wonderful in every way.
Daniel is undergoing shock wave treatment for suspensory ligament problem, I am please to report that it is going well and we are sure it will be a great success.
