Here's some photos of Dragon:

Here's Dragon at our old stable, last summer

Playtime with me doing most of the work :D

Flexing at the poll in the beginning, now we have a more pronounced weight shift and a better flex


Image
Showing our height difference :D

He is very flexible and athletic, especially when inspired.

More to come soon! Hopefully of long walks in the clover and short introductions under saddle in the cordeol

Yes he is beautiful and big :D
I love this actually. He is so big that you can be scared of him but yet he runs after you like a little boy. Great to see!

He's adorable!
He seems like a very strong horse, who needs you to feel confident. You really look like a great couple!

Oh my gosh, Amiro, you hit the nail on the head. He requires perfect assertiveness without any reactivity or aggression. He is literally the best "trainer" I ever could have received. After him, I feel like any other horse would be a laugh. What was your clue?

Haha, it's nice to see that my thought were right :D

I actually didn't really have a clue... The pictures just showed me some kind of emotion. The way he looks at you, the way he runs at you and the way he reacts at you is just so wonderful to see! He seems happy that you give him exactly the confidence he needs to look like the proud and beautiful horse he is.

Your last picture is again very nice!

I have to laugh Jen, because I know just what you mean!!

They don't allow for many mistakes and they sure make it hard sometimes. On the other hand, they are terrific teachers, because they keep you very honest. :wink:
