Andalusian gelding for half-lease - Petaluma

Are you looking for a wonderful equine partner for learning, growth, and fun? Meet my 12-year-old 17h gentle giant, an Iberian Warmblood (3/4 Andalusian with a Calificado Grand Prix sire).
About Nico (Joya Dominica)
Appearance: Black with a star and snip, long mane, and luxurious tail.
Movement: Athletic and sound with three comfortable, quality gaits.— with Jamie Buck and 11 others
.
Temperament: A calm, kind, and social horse with excellent boundaries. He is quite on the ground and under saddle but forward when you ask him. He is experienced at adapting to rider temperaments and needs.
Training: Lower-level dressage (including some lateral work and beginnings of collection), groundwork, in-hand work, and trail riding.
Care: Barefoot with boots for trails, lives in a large paddock with turnout, and receives top-notch care, including regular bodywork (e.g., chiropractic, massage, craniosacral, acuscope & myopulse, magnawave, acupuncture), saddle fitting, and preventative wellness practices.
About Me
I have a background in liberty training and classical dressage, with a special interest in equine wellness and biomechanics.
About You
Looking for an intermediate rider and horse handler who values softness and connection—someone who’s interested in dressage, groundwork, or hacking in the arena and on property. Lessons available on property.
