It’s always special to follow the development of a young horse—and all the more rewarding when talent and careful training pay off right from the very first competition starts.
BAS possesses many of the qualities one looks for in a young horse destined for high-level dressage: expressive movements, balance, elasticity, and a natural tendency to rise. Particularly striking are his active hindquarters and his good mechanics. At the same time, he shows a willingness to learn and is easy to ride—qualities that are at least as important for the further training of a young dressage horse as the sheer quality of his movements.
Interesting Spanish bloodlines
A look at his pedigree is also worthwhile. BAS is a grandson of the well-known Armas Tarugo from the Yeguada Armas. Furthermore, his pedigree includes Ermitaño III, bred by Miguel Ángel de Cárdenas (Escalera), another significant representative of PRE breeding.
Thus, BAS combines traditional Spanish bloodlines with the athletic quality of a modern PRE.
Step by Step Toward the Big Dressage Arena
BAS is currently being further trained by Juan Perez in Barcelona and is competing in shows. The focus is not on rapid training, but rather on solid development appropriate for his age. Step by step, he will be introduced to more challenging tasks and given the time to realize his full potential.
His first appearances in competitive settings already show that BAS isn’t just impressive at home. He’s gaining valuable experience, performing well in the arena, and laying the foundation for his future in the sport.
We’re very excited to see how this young PRE will develop in the coming years.
BAS is for sale. For more information, photos, videos, and details about his pedigree, please visit his sales page.
