Victor ...

... my big friend.

To be honest, it wasn't 'love at first sight' when I met him app 10 years ago, a (for me more or less unknown) breed mix between American Saddlebred and Islandic horse. So it took some months before I rode him first time and some years before I decided to take him as my first own horse .. . my personal childhood dream.

As everybody who has a horse surly can confirm, even Victor and me had many ups and downs, discussions and different opinion of work input and fun. So we aged together in our riding experience and I proudly can say that we are a good team today.

As reason of Victors family background he is a gaited horse with a quiet natural pass, whereat the tölt comes only in highest concentration and exertion, but however ... yes, he can :-)

He has a great personality, is socially spirited and was (I believe he still is) the flock leader, and he is cute and makes me/us laugh ;-)

Morning!

I am so glad to have him now here in Purnuvaara, even if it is much more work and responsibility, but on the opposite I have plenty of rope in all decisions and last but not least the warm feelings when he waits and greets for me each day makes it good, thousand times!
