D'Artagnan, aka Jordan, is my seven year Oldenburg gelding. He is by Donnerhall out of the elite Feiner Stern mare, Wild Rose.
In addition to his cool bloodlines, he's a really cool horse! Mellow yet playful in his personality; bright and forward under saddle.
The perfect combination! Jordan was lightly started when I got him, and as of summer '08 we are schooling and showing first level dressage.
We have done several shows together, with his high score so far at 73.5%. J New! Lesson photos of Jordan and I.
Jordan is a lucky boy - he has been barefoot and in a comfortable Balance saddle pretty much from the start.
When he told me he didn't need a flash noseband, or didn't like something, I listened.
We worked with Mark Rashid on ground handling and my own breathing and mentality while riding him, and he gets regular body work.
I hope that with his great gaits and mind, and a sound and comfortable body, we can move up the levels of dressage and our relationship successfully --
and be good ambassadors for the natural and holistic approach to horse care and treatment.
