Quality purebred lipizzan mare looking for her next dance partner. Taormina is amateur friendly and has a full set of x-rays available to view taken November 2019.

Taormina rides like a sports car. Her basic gaits have competitive modern traits, and she shows the potential to develop more knee action in the trot and canter as she continues to gain strength under saddle.

Taormina measures 14.2 h and looks like she will stay a large pony. She could be your pony cup candidate, working equitation mount, or next driving prospect.

For the past 8 months Taormina has enjoyed a partnership with two young riders. Her uncomplicated character has allowed her to be backed and ridden by a novice 12 yr old rider, and young dressage enthusiast. Training has been supervised by FEI Dressage Trainer and USDF silver medalist Martijn Stuurman.

Toarmina is solid in her walk and trot transitions while her canter transitions are coming along nicely. She is ready to move on with her education. Additional experiences include riding off property, hauling long distances, turnout alone or in a group.

We documented the complete backing process. Videos can be found on youtube, search: Just Horsemanship.
