Big, eye-catching warmblood with lots of experience in the Equitation ring and a nice record of moving riders up from 3' hunters. Has top finishes in classes of 20-40+ entries and ribbons in NorCal Medal Finals. Tolerant, scopey and brave to the fences.
"Pico" is athletic and stylish. He jumps with a great front end from any distance and is easy to stay with over fences. He is a big, impressive mover with hack ribbons in large classes and an attractive canter between fences. Pico is well-schooled on the flat, comfortable to sit, has auto-changes and counter-canters. He is a confident jumper that doesn't peek or hold a grudge, and is suitable for move up to 3' or 3'6".
Pico has ribbons from Childrens Hunters to BigEq Medals to Childrens Jumpers, and just about everything in between, with a variety of junior and amateur riders aboard. He is well-mannered and accustomed to a consistent program of lessons and/or rides 4-5 times a week. Very stylish horse and a nicely experienced, useful addition to any show team.
