Haflinger / Gelding (Jordie)
"Hi Lesley- had my Lesson today after Carlos schooling Jordy for 4 days- what a star. It's only his 7th ride and he is balanced in the trot, doing rein back like a star and all transitions just using seat no need for rein contact at all! All Of it bitless. Carlos loves my little man- and waiting for him to completely fill out before doing any major saddle work has really paid off. He's now a regular little cow pony lol!" - Alexandra, Feb 2015
"You will be glad to know Jordy was an absolute champion in his second block of training with Carlos a few weeks ago- is a regular little champion (Carlos loves him and he has become a bit of a darling of the Carlos training group!!) . He is now officially a bitless, barefoot riding pony that you can crack whips off and ride bareback. I have another weeks training with Carlos in September and that will round off the edges for his cues in side passing and more fancy footwork....then its just time to start putting the miles on him ....slowly!
If I had more money I would invest in another of your horses- as Jordy has been such a gorgeous boy to have around. He has earned his nickname Naughty Jordy as he is always opening gates and walking away with tools, but when it comes down to doing the work- he is on the job and fully focused
You must have a huge group of satisfied customers all over Australia now!" - Alexandra Mitchell (Tasmania), May 2014

| Already Jordy has won the hearts of the locals (namely Arab endurance riders and Standardbred racing types) and has become a local celebrity with his antics in the paddock, like carrying around my planted berry bushes *grin*. We are totally in love with him- and he loves answering the rooster with the wake up call at 5 in the mornings! Thankyou for all the help in getting him here. Cheers, Alex. |

| Dear Lesley, He is absolutely what I am looking for... I love the idea of the quarter horse /haflinger cross for trail riding- which is what he would be used for. I am getting a little tired of some of the "puritan" breeding attitudes I have encountered in the last few years... and applaud you in crossing out the haflinger with some other breed lines! - Alex |

| The new owners (of Lilly and the 3/4 haflinger with blue eyes) will be as proud as punch- Jordy and I had a wonderful afternoon playing around together- and we went out for a lovely long walk. The locals are getting used to me "walking" my horse around the trails. - Alex |
