PRE Mix, Stallion, 6 years, 15.3 hh, Bay-Dark

Listing Overview

A baroque PRE mix stallion competing at Grand Prix before his sixth birthday, with multiple wins already under his belt and the temperament that makes you forget he's entire. Habilidoso earned 3rd place in Spain as a four-year-old, then returned at five to collect several victories, all while maintaining the calm, willing demeanor his rider describes as "incredibly gentle." He's schooling flying changes in series through the twos, lateral transitions, and beginning piaffe work in hand, showing the kind of learning speed that suggests his Grand Prix work is only just beginning. What stands out most in his description is the rare combination: serious talent for the professional rider who wants a competitive partner, paired with the soft spirit of a horse who loves being cuddled for hours and shows no stallion behavior despite living in a barn with nearly 180 horses. His baroque type and eye-catching presence give him the look for the big arena, while his rideability in just a snaffle and his reliable, motivated attitude under saddle suggest he's a true partner rather than a project. Currently based in Spain with a clean health report and recent dental and osteopathic care, he's the type of young stallion who could take an accomplished rider up the levels while actually enjoying the journey.
