Tango is by Idocus out of "Never Say Never", our Wanroij KPWN Keur Preferent mare. Idocus is showing & winning Grand Prix dressage, and is a member of 2004 Dutch Olympic dressage team. Tango has correct conformation, lots of suspension, excellent rhythm, calm temperament, and wonderful ground manners. With his lovely movement, Tango is a super FEI dressage prospect; full brother to Rhumba. He has been professionally trained under saddle, both dressage and jumping. In dressage he is training shoulder-in, travers, half-pass, and has established changes. Tango has a large stride, and big changes. He requires a rider with a soft seat and hands. Jumping, Tango is forward and very comfortable jumping 3'9" - 4'. He has jumped up to 4'6" under saddle.
Tango spent the summer of 2005 in Ontario where he competed as a jumper in the 1.10 and 1.15 metre large open classes and ribboned. He was leased to an adult amateur for two years and is now back in dressage training, competing successfully at Level 2, most recently in Blainville, Quebec, June 2009. Tango's only vice is that he is a controlled cribber. He has no health issues.
AUGUST 2009: After only a few weeks in jumper training, Tango competed very successfully as a jumper, becoming Reserve Champion of his 1.10 division at a large National show. He has since been sold to a lovely home and will continue to compete in the jumper ring.
