Donoso on top!

In the morning we went to a studfarm to view some horses for our books, hot hot, puh. Then we got the delighting news that a friend from a swedish PRE studfarm is coming tomorrow! This breeder already has one foal by Donoso and will cover with him again this year and now she wants more lady-mums to expand her studfarm. So lady-looking on thursday and Donut and Divo on friday. Donoso got three new bookings today!
When we bought D he was quite a handful to ride for me, he was very strong as he had been 'plugged in' by a strong male rider that had sure done a good job teqnically, but he was totally insensitive in the mouth and used his big neck to defend himself towards pressure. With spaghetti arms we had no choice but go - let's get sensitive..  And NOW I have a gentle soft contact in ALL the movements and through ALL the figures, now I feel the horse as he is, all defense is gone and PURE ENJOYMENT is left! He is all day begging for it, I hope he transmits this glorious ridability feeling and the attitude to his offspring and will be the happy-riders-brand!
