Bo Jena Bonus: The levade

Posted: 23 Feb 2011 01:39 PM PST

One of the especially impressive horses at the clinic was the 18H Hanoverian by Bergamon, Brazil. A heavier type without being coarse, Brazil had huge, powerful, uphill gaits and an ability to collect easily. In fact, when Bo asked for half-steps Brazil offered a beautiful controlled levade. You might argue he was just rearing, but I had the distinct impression that he was offering this movement to see if that was what the handler wanted. Brazil showed a lot of exuberance without being naughty. I later learned he could be a handful, but tactful handling kept him nicely in check.

Brazil is for sale by Harmony Sport Horses. I think he would be a great "guy's horse."
