This is a horse with the talent for the FEI levels! Sparty attended his first show at First level test 1 and 2. He put in a very good first effort, scored from a tough judge, 65.6%. On Aug 5, Sparty showed Training level test 2, scoring an impressive 73.97%, and in Training level test 3, scored a 70.4%! Winning both of his classes. He scored an impressive 8.5 for gaits, and 8 for impulsion, in the collective marks. He had many 8’s throughout the test, and the judges comments, “talented horse.” Sparty worked out of my trailer, was relaxed and focused at the show, and he seemed to really enjoy the show environment. On July 29, Sparty competed in Training level test 2, scoring 70.52%, and Training level test 3, scoring 70.6%. Scored 7.5 for gaits, and earned 8’s for his trot to canter transitions. He traveled two hours each way to the show, was a pleasure to handle and ride. Judges comments, “lots of potential.” He was high score of the show! Sparty attended his first overnight schooling show in June, competed Training level test 2 and 1, with solid results of 67.58% and 66.5%. He scored 8’s for his canter circles and many 7.5 for trot to canter transitions. Scored 7.5 for gaits! Judges comments, “beautiful horse, very promising.” He won both of his Open classes. He attended his first show in March, winning his Intro class with a 71.6%! The judge’s comments, “lovely horse with a good start.” He scored an 8 for gaits. I have owned Sparty since he was 3 years old. I have taken my time to make sure all groundwork is solid, he is relaxed, supple, and listening to the riders aids under saddle. He is a light horse to ride with three quality gaits, and a super canter! He is showing first level and schooling second level at home. I will start his changes this fall/winter. Sparty has a big personality, but he really wants to be your best friend. He nickers at me when I arrive at the stable. He is a happy horse who wants to please. He loves to be groomed, attention, baths, clippers on his body/face. He loads, travels well. Sparty is stabled on a military base. The base stables are very close to the runway, and he is very used to loud fighter jets flying overhead. Sparty lives in a stall/run, he is fine with this situation. I have given Sparty a solid foundation, and he is ready to continue his training to FEI. He would be great for a young professional to train through the levels, or an amateur/junior with some riding experience. Lots of talent in this horse! Sound, no maintenance. Willing and trainable horse.
