Young Shetty stallion with lots of potential is looking for a loving home - UPDATE: We started small with Sandro today and put a vaulting harness on him for the first time and what can I say, it didn't bother him at all and he did everything really well. We are now slowly starting with light ground work for the carriage. Today we also checked his testicles again and found that he can move them up and down as he likes. Sandro- stallion, sporty figure, black saddle tiger born 20.04.2023 Sandro is a very special young horse with a moving story and a huge heart. He came to us when he was only 8 months old from bad husbandry - raw, together with an older mare and caught with a lasso. He was bullied in the old herd, but this did not break him. Today he is cuddly, sensitive and eager to learn.
