FEI prospect! Barcelona RH (AKA Banana) is a sweet and kind, 2007 Hanoverian gelding by Bretone – our elite grand prix stallion – out of SPS Weltfee II (Weltmeyer). With the quintessential dressage horse pedigree of Brentano II and Weltmeyer, Barcelona is everything the aspiring dressage professional or amateur needs. He is a handsome chestnut standing 16.3 H. Barcelona has three lovely gaits and is incredibly willing and trainable. Don’t let his young age deter you! His temperament is fabulous! ANYONE can ride him. He is a trooper on the trail, leading the older horses through the water, and he walks around the show grounds – passed spectators, vendors, and golf carts – on a long rein. He showed training and first level in Florida and was shown in the USEF 4 y.o. tests in New England. He won every USEF 4 y.o. qualifier he entered – with scores to 78% and very positive feedback about his rideability and gaits. Barcelona qualified to compete with the top 15 four year olds in the country at the Markel Young Horse Championships at Lamplight in Illinois. Barcelona was a perfect gentleman, taking all the activity, banners, and award ceremonies in stride. Barcelona is doing leg-yielding, shoulder-in, counter canter, simple changes, and starting walk pirouettes. 40K. Link to latest Youtube video:
