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%.  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.
