Ivan the Great

 
[ click on pictures to enlarge ]

This is Ivan.  Isn't he handsome?  I bought him back in October.  He is so wonderful.  He has a great temperament and is a blast to ride!!  He is very well broke and well trained.   He is 14 years old and 16 hands high.  He was bought off the track when he was three and spent most of his life as a dressage horse.   I would like to someday take jumping lessons again and show.  I showed hunters during my teen years and would love to do it again.  However,  if I start showing again I only want to do jumpers.   I have been jumping him a little and he loves it and is good at it.  Right now I just trail ride him up in the mountains.  There is miles of endless riding.  He loves it up there in the trails.  We gallop for miles at a time; jump over any logs, ditches, or obstacles, go through huge puddles,  and just relax and enjoy the scenery.   Click here for the most recent pictures of me riding.

Great website Beth! I really enjoyed looking through all of it... you've got some nice pictures. I think your horse is beautiful too... just the perfect color (and I don't know how high 16 hands is, so I can't comment on size, but he looks good). Is that last picture, with you and Tyler, doctored a little? :) Daryl

Beautiful,Bethie! Beautiful horse, beautiful you ! The shot of you and Tyler is my favorite; you look so classic! The area there is so lovely! It reminds me of pictures you might see of some noble Lady riding in the countryside of England or Ireland. Lady Beth! And her fine mount, Ivan! With love from Mom

Loved the pics. I will have to see him next time I am there. You are obviously enjoying riding very much! I'm so glad you got him. Will your website only show horse pics or will I get to see more of you, Dan & Tyler in the future? Love, Nancy
