SOLD!! He leaves June 10th and going  to Barbra Baker in York, PA. 

Hi Sandra, I took my Andalusian cross, Gambri to Paul Belasik for a lesson the other day. I really enjoyed working with him a lot. I was telling him about Rio (I should say bragging) and his sire and dam. I told him Faraon is so beautiful and he can really "sit" on his haunches. He also looks like such a personable and intelligent stallion. And Rio's mamma has such a lovely compact build and seems like such a good mother. He was very impressed with Gambri, and I told him I found him on the internet 8 yrs ago. I also told him that I had been looking around for a young horse on and off for the past 3 years and then there was Rio! 

All the best,
Barbra

Rio is a leggy beautiful chestnut going grey gelding.  This boy should reach 16 hands!  Lots of chrome-blaze and 4 white socks.  Tons of flowing mane. He is very cowy, loving to herd the other  2 year olds around.  Boy can he move...western spins or elegant dressage movement.  This is a very special boy.  He is SO smart and willing to please.  He has started his round pen work and will be bitted and saddled soon.  We were going to keep him but I will be sure to keep Joe and Duet instead.  I have him priced right because I KNOW in the right setting and caring training this boy will blow some minds under saddle.  He is an Andalusian X APHA and can be registered American Azteca with the US registry. Paperwork on the way from IALHA as Half Andalusian.  Price goes up when he is under saddle at the farm.  Loads, leads, good with farrier, ties.

Big colt,  tall!  Stunning presence. 

Very correct confirmation! Wonderful Dressage or Working Cow Horse/Trail Partner prospect here folks!!!
