The All-Rounder

The All-Rounder

Comfortable in the middle of everything, which is rarer than it sounds. Enough forward to stay honest, enough patience to wait for you. Not a specialist - a generalist. The kind of horse that makes a good program great, or a rough patch survivable.

About this horse

$26,000 USD Disciplines: Dressage, Trail Riding, Working Equitation 🖖Rio SM - “Riker”🖖 2021 Andalusian/Lusitano (S/P) 16.3 bay gelding imported in utero. Registered purebred with IALHA, lifetime recorded with USAWE, and with the best basics anyone could want. Diagnosed (UC Davis) with Alopecia Areata, a purely cosmetic autoimmune disorder which causes him to have bald spots on his coat. He's normal in every other way, just like humans with Alopecia, it only affects the hair follicles. His skin is 💯 fine, not sensitive to grooming, flies, or tack. Riker is out of Zaha GT (imported Andalusian from Spain) and by Imperador HI (PSL standing at the famous Haras Ionnoni in Brazil with strong dressage lines). He is professionally handled/trained for the last 2+ years with breaks for time off to be a young guy and grow. He was started slowly and carefully with all the proper groundwork in place. He is green but solidly under saddle WTC. Super easy to handle, clip, load, etc. Suitable for an amateur in a program. He is easy to sit and fun to ride. He's been off properties and handled it like a champ. Will hack out on trail with others or alone. Barefoot with great feet, sound, great sane brain - old soul, and very trainable. Clean X-rays available from when he was a yearling. A great opportunity for someone who wants a great riding horse and can overlook his cosmetic appearance. Will go to his first Working Equitation show to expand on his experiences on 7/20, but I think best suited to a non competitive home. Located in Temecula, CA (just north of San Diego). Not a fire sale, price is fairly firm and will increase with training and experience. Wonderful home only or will stay with me.
