In my mind it didn't matter that much b/c she makes such a lovely overall picture, very unusual yet so correct.

They commented that Bella is half Andalusian but I can assure you that she is 100% pure Kiger (Spanish Mustang) because I own her. She was actually feral until age 4. She is a wonderful horse with a great mind that simply loves to dance. The trainer/rider owns and has trained Andalusians but Bella is all MustangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-66066909210921520102009-11-15T09:01:51.549-05:002009-11-15T09:01:51.549-05:00Fascinating article.

They make an excellent cross with other breeds, and the purebreds are hardy, as one one expect.<br /><br />Maybe it's a west coast thing, but "atypical" breeds are not uncommon in our dressage shows.

That explains a lot of its movement and talent. Although like you said there ARE mustangs doing dressage, you'd be hard pressed to find a pure one off the range that moves that that.Bannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411396685109840881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-57678088960410197632009-11-14T12:14:47.479-05:002009-11-14T12:14:47.479-05:00I'll admit I came here looking for Part II - a...I'll admit I came here looking for Part II - and I'm glad I did - I thouroughly enjoyed this!

I just don't like it when creatures are bred for overdone movement. Those types of trots are so passagey, you can't tell what's trot and what's passage. I enjoyed this very much.Kitty Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030621211779302151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-53861047341677287162009-11-14T00:40:45.641-05:002009-11-14T00:40:45.641-05:00This is lovely.
