Tova is a kind and successful Dressage horse. He would be a wonderful partner to an AA or Junior rider that is goal oriented in riding Traditional or Western Dressage. He is sound and built durable with impeccable conformation. Current vet exam with no remarkable findings is available.
His gaits are smooth and easier to sit than many warm bloods, yet ground covering. He is level in his balance but is able to sit and elevate his shoulder for lengthenings. Though just starting lateral movements, Tova is able to perform shoulder in and travers easily at the walk and is beginning practice at the trot. He is correct in his leg yields both directions and demonstrates even cross-over at the trot. His upward and downward transitions to trot and canter are prompt and responsive with light aids and balance. He is lifetime registered with USEF and has received scores between 66.7 and 69.5 at USDF 1st Level 1 and 1st Level 3!
He does not buck, rear or runaway. Tova is a real pleasure to work with and loads, clips and enjoys a good currying in the cross ties. He is uncomplicated and improves with every ride, remembering his lessons. Oh-and he is just the most beautiful horse with a very large and kind eye!
