Valverde Primero - 2001 Palomino Gelding

Valverde Salado X Vicky's Indigo

Primo was the first offspring of two of our favorite horses, Zarco and Vicky. He's grown up to be quite a horse, with his parents' good looks, his mom's eager-to-please attitude, and a character all his own. The only thing he didn't get was his mother's single-footing gait, but his walk, trot, and canter are all comfortable and easy to ride. He's a clown, and always looking for something to do.

Not only is he a fun horse, but he is turning into quite the dressage horse. We showed schooling shows last year and made it up to first level with several good scores. Our goal for this year - USDF Regional championships in at least First Level!

The video here was made less than a month after Primo and I were both back from a 3-month layoff.
