Argentine Criollo 9yr old Red Dun Gelding. Rio: Very sadly for sale, due to the untimely death of his owner. Lovely genuine, willing and safe ride. Western horse with all tack and rugs (this alone worth in excess of £1500). Rides perfectly, alone or with company, in front or behind. Very amenable with other horses, people and dogs etc. non-confrontational kind and gentle horse. Does exactly what you want when you want. Gates are a complete doddle, is shod, loads and catches with ease. 15.2+hh Red dun, which is like a very bright bay with a dorsal stripe and black barring like zebra stripes on legs. Extremely good doer, very cheap to keep. Will jog all day and canters/lopes lovely and steady on narrow grass verges. He was imported into England from Argentina early in 2008, by Grange Farm Criollos and purchased shortly after by my friend Andrew. Photos show him on the beach with Andrew riding him. He was over 6ft, which makes Rio look smaller than he actually is. I am only 5ft and he feels massive to me. He is a good weight carrier. He has a lovely Spanish head and eye and a good length of neck. Much more beautiful and bigger than many Criollos. Ridden trial and vetting welcome. Please phone or email for more details. Warks/Leic/Northants Border.
