Sponn (spoon) - barn name Máni (Moon) - was trained at Holar, the most prestigious Riding School in Iceland. He is an ecxiting fourgaited horse with high lift, lots of willingness and great speedrange in all gaits. His has good Endurance and is a very honest horse. While not a beginner's horse, he is a very good teacher as he wants a secure and precise Rider to perform welland is very patient as a lesson horse. Tolting at fast speed with him is exhalarating and all his gaits are strong. He has been used as a Competition Horse, Lesson Horse, has done Long Distance Competition and is well versed in basic Dressage Work. While in Gait training he was also used for Cutting (just for fun) and seems to have a natural talent for it. In late Spring 2006 we had a 12 year old girl as a guest and she rode him daily on very difficult trails, swam with him, jumped up to 3' and did some Ringwork as well. The little girls have a good time on the Leadline with him....and now in 2007, my 5 year old daughter Amber claimed him as her horse. He is as gentle as possible with her and keeps her safe. He proves himself more and more to be an amazingly versatile horse with many strengths, great attitude and spirit.
