Darius
Darius is a 16.2, warmblood gelding. He was bought to teach adults and teenagers. The little kids have wonderful ponies to choose from so it seemed only fair! He loves to jump, he used to do 3'6" hunters very successfully but that size is a little much for him these days so he has been downsized to the 2'6" jumps. He does very well in the dressage arena being such a lovely mover and very well trained.
