Well that's just about everything we weren't looking for in a horse. What a rough ride! The rider is all over that horse's back, worse maybe at the canter than at the rack.
I was dead set against even looking at a crossbred horse. In fact, I went up to Red Hill only interested in a registered gelding. The only one they had (actually still a stallion at that time) was very ill-mannered and wouldn't suit us at all. Ellen Hansen in BC had sent me an Aegidienberger website, but it was in German, so I couldn't read it. I seem to have lost the info when I switched servers. This is the first video I've seen. Tosca is 1/4 Peruvian Paso and does not have the typical shoulder rotation this horse has and does not roll her front feet out. She's is actually quite lazy and rather slow moving, which is why we found her attractive since her chief role in life will be to walk quietly with a disabled girl aboard. I did try to get a video one night, but working alone was a fiasco. I think I wrote once that I'd never seen her trot at liberty. Now I have. She did nothing BUT trot for me when I was trying to send a gait video. Nice trot, by the way. The other mare. Yrsa, is a purebred. Nancy
