DORABELLA - PUREBRED ANDALUSIAN

Venidero MC x Kenia TG

2003 bay filly

Bella was born here at Tintagel and just came back for training. Her current owner is very sad she doesn't have the time to spend with her right now due to work constraints and she wants Bella to have all the attention she deserves.

This is a great opportunity to buy a riding age mare with a solid background. It's hard to find older riding type horses for sale much less one where you know the whole history and what's been done with them.

Bella currently stands 15.2 yet with her long legs and high set neck she appears much taller. She is very quiet and definitely a beta mare. When I went to do my standard de-spook training I had a problem... we couldn't find anything Bella spooked at! Waving flags, flapping tarps, nerf balls flying through the air, all not a problem.

She walks over and under the tarps without a blink. Mind you the firecrackers did surprise her but she never moved her feet just stared at the loud smoking things and slowly maneuvered herself behind me peeking out from under my arm. If you don't spook, Bella never will either!

Bella has been learning to lunge, longline and has just started taking riders for walks in hand. She does beautiful ground work and knows shoulder in and leg yield in hand. She has been started very slowly and carefully progressing her own pace. I can see Bella being a happy family horse doing a variety of activities.

Bella has solid gaits with her walk and canter being especially lovely. She shares the same sire as my own horses Diego, Esmeralda and Giselle. A line known for calm temper and dressage capabilities. Her dam is the same as Zerbinetta, another really quiet and fun riding horse.

This mare loves attention and learning, she will be fabulous for riding or breeding. A quality mare with no "mareish" qualities! This is going to be a really nice mare when all grown up! She comes with a lifetime of all positive experiences, no baggage, what more can you ask??

Bella on her first outdoor walk with rider. The huge thing behind her is a gigantic dumpster that was temporarily dropped in the middle of the riding ring. Bella had never seen it before then. You can see how concerned she is with it... she's too busy begging for a scratch behind the ears.
